Thank you for your interest in Glenbrooke Daycare!
Glenbrooke Daycare is licensed for:
- 3 children in our Infant and Toddler program
- 20 children in our 3 – 5 program
- 7 children in our Kindergarten before and after school program
- 24 children in our before and after school program
While we strive to provide childcare for as many families as possible, our waitlist does not work on a first come first serve basis. Priority is given to siblings of children who are currently enrolled at the daycare. We also take into consideration the age of the children and any extra needs that children and families may have. To be eligible for our Before and Afterschool program, children must be enrolled at Herbert Spencer Elementary.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Glenbrooke Daycare waitlist work?
Please fill out an application form and email it to us to be placed on our waitlist. When a spot becomes available, we will send an email offering you a spot. Following a tour of the daycare and a meet and greet with the daycare manager, a registration form will be completed with a $50 non-refundable registration fee.
Learn more about our waitlist policies.
Is there a waitlist application fee?
No.
How long can I expect to wait to receive an offer of child care space?
The majority of spaces become available between June and September of each year as children leave our program to commence kindergarten.
Given we do not operate on a ‘first come – first serve basis’ it is difficult to estimate when a space may become available. There are many factors including siblings currently attending, type of program, and your child’s age.
We encourage families to continue exploring child care options beyond Glenbrooke Daycare.
Where I am on the wait list?
Glenbrooke Daycare does not operate on a first come, first serve basis and it is difficult to forecast when you can expect to receive a space offer. We do not provide waitlist numbers and are unable to respond to requests related to your place on the waitlist.
Can I come tour the daycare?
Due to the high number of families on the wait list we are not currently doing tours of the centre until a space for your child has become available.
Once my child starts at Glenbrooke, am I guaranteed a space in the next room once they age out?
One of the benefits of our daycare center is we have programs for all ages. The majority of our member children in the Herbert Spencer catchment progress through our programs. In extremely rare circumstances, enrolment between programs cannot be offered. Daycare staff work with families to ensure these circumstances are flagged and worked through together.
