Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about enrolment, admissions, funding, and support in our adult day program.

As soon as possible. Our adult day program is a small centre with a strong yearly re-enrollment, so there are limited spaces available each year. Many families start to look for a new program in the fall and winter of the year before entry.
