Kendellhurst provides all meals and snacks for your child. We exceed the Canada Food Guide and the Ministry requirements for preschool children. We serve a substantial morning and afternoon snack and a hot lunch with milk and vegetables. We understand that children need the fuel to drive their imaginations! All snacks and meals are whole foods and organic in content prepared by a chef and catered hot and fresh daily to our facility.

Special occasion and child friendly multicultural theme meals are provided as well. Note: please do not bring food from home as other children may be allergic to ingredients. If your child requires a special diet due to medical or religious reasons, we can accommodate him/her. Please inform our staff supervisor and your child's assigned teacher if special arrangements are necessary.

Health and Safety Upon registration, enrollment and medical forms must be completed before your child attends school. It is imperative that all personal contact information be kept up-to-date. Included in this package is a form for all authorized individuals who may pick up your child from school property. If your child is absent from school, we ask that you notify the school as soon as possible so that we may confirm his or her absence.

Members of our school may have serious and potential life threatening anaphylactic attacks brought on by exposure to peanut products. Peanut products may not enter the school environment. Since we would like to minimize, or better yet eliminate, any incidents that may cause one to suffer needlessly, we ask that parents take precautionary measurements when entering the school environment after enjoying peanut products outside of the school premises. We understand that this may sound a bit invasive to your privacy, but after seeing the anaphylactic reaction of one suffering from peanut allergies, we understand that brushing your teeth and washing your hands could save someone’s life! Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

He/she can put on or take off garments depending on the weather conditions. Two piece outerwear/snow apparel makes life easier for the indecisive potty training child! Each child must have a back pack for school. Please place a full change of clothes in your child's back pack. Toddler age children must have the daily required amount of diapers, or pull-ups if potty training, and wipes. Please do not place any food or drink products in the backpack, or any toys. Other children may be allergic to the ingredients in the food/drink, and toys from home cause too many unnecessary tears if they get lost, misplaced or claimed by other children as "mine"! We request that your child have rubber soled slippers for school. Slippers may be kept in his/her cubby, or placed in the back pack daily.

We also invite you, the parent, to visit classrooms, participate in field trips or come to our various events such as Parent Breakfast, Summer Barbecue and Meet the Teacher Night. Though parent volunteers are welcome, they are subject to the same expectations and standards as our staff. Parent bulletin boards are located in the cloakroom areas, so please check for updates, including menu changes, special event notices and other pertinent school information. Also for your convenience, children's art files are located in the cloakroom areas. Parents are asked to check their child's art file daily to discuss artistic works and to receive school wide memos.

Thank you for your interest in our school.
