Late parent pick up

If a parent is late in picking up a child from preschool, the ECE and one member will remain with the child. The following procedure will be followed:

1. Immediate attempts will be made to contact the parents.
2. Attempts will be made to reach alternate contacts provided on the release authorization form and emergency contact card.
3. After an hour, a third person will be sent to the parent’s home to attempt contact.
4. If, after an hour and a half, the parent or other designate has not been reached, the ECE will contact the appropriate government ministry to report the situation, and may contact the police.
5. Once the ministry becomes involved, the ECE will determine her/his role in remaining involved in the situation.  A member is required to remain with the ECE and the child until the ministry takes over.
6. A fee of $40 per hour will be charged to the late parent to compensate the ECE.
