There is an additional breakfast fee of $1.00 a day for those who attend morning daycare. The monthly fees for 5 days per week are calculated by the number of school days per month as opposed to a flat rate per month. The 1st payment is due September 15th and the 1st of each subsequent month (October-May).

In June, a “Statement of Account” will be sent to each daycare family. At that time, we will make any adjustments which have resulted over the school year.

Fees per day for Sporadic/Occasional Users:
Lunch $2.00 per day
Daycare $7.30 per day

For your convenience we now offer internet payments.
Online payments are now available for Daycare or Lunch program fees only.  

When you receive your statement of account, a reference number will appear under the contact information of each parent (different numbers for father and mother). Please be sure to use the number assigned to the parent who you would like to have receive the tax receipts. By law receipts can only be issued to the person making the payments.  

The following banks offer online payments:
•               Caisses Desjardins:
•               Royal Bank:
•               Scotiabank:
•               CIBC:
•               National Bank:
•               BMO – Bank of Montreal:
•               TD –Toronto Dominion:
•               Laurentian Bank: Online payments are not available.
If you cannot find the “payee” please contact your bank.  

When making your first online payment, you will have to perform the “add payee” operation. In the search box, enter “Lester B or Pearson” & it will list:  COMM SCOL LESTER B PEARSON – DAYCARE OR S GARDE:  

You must enter your reference number from your statement of account, without spaces, every time you make a payment online. The reference number is comprised of 19 numeric and alphanumeric characters and starts with SG.

If you have more than one child attending daycare, we suggest that you use only one reference number, add all the balances due and make one online payment covering the total balance due for the whole family. The breakdown will be made automatically between the members of a same family. 

The reference number is specific to one daycare. If your child changes daycare, another reference number will be assigned to you. Sign up today!  

If you choose to pay by cheque please make all post-dated cheques payable to “Dorset School – Daycare” dated the 1st of every month.    

LUNCH:

The cost of the program is as follows:
$ 33.00 per month for 5 days a week.
$ 2.00 per day for occasional users

The lunch period is between 12:00 – 12:55 pm. Microwaves are not available to heat up lunches. Please use a thermos and cold lunches as much as possible.

Hot Meals may be ordered from Chartwells on Tuesdays and Thursdays on a monthly basis. Menus and order forms are sent home monthly. It is the parent’s responsibility to cancel any hot lunches ordered on the day of a class outing. Due to strict food safety regulations, lunches cannot be saved for the next day or given to another student.

Pizza and Sub lunches are offered by Home and School on a bi-monthly basis on Wednesdays. Order forms will be sent home.

TCBY is offered seasonally as well.    

Please remember Dorset’s “Nut and Peanut Butter Policy” – no nuts, peanut butter, their by-products or look-alike products. The safety of some students depends on your help.
