Email: contact@storybookelc.ca - Every child will visit the school with a parent before enrollment. This can be arranged at your convenience, usually the week before your child starts school. This is to familiarize the child and parent with the classroom and teachers and to answer any questions and concerns the parent may have.
- Some parents may prefer to have a preliminary visit prior to requesting Registration Forms. Please feel free to arrange this.
Please register your child on line at OneHSN Windsor. This puts your child on the child care registry.
