Our Class Schedule
ArtsCalibre offers preschool classes as follows:
* For the 2009/2010 school year, your child must have reached this age by the end of December 2009; similarly for 2010/2011.
See also our Extended Hours options below.
To view our class schedule month to month, please go to our School Calendar page. Check it often for updates!
Our classes run from September through June each year, and basically follow the Greater Victoria School District calendar and holiday schedule. However, unless otherwise specified on our School Calendar, ArtsCalibre is OPEN on the "non-instructional" (Professional Development) days scheduled by the District and our host Quadra Elementary School. (To view Quadra Elementary's calendar for the current school year, please see their Events page.)
Availability
As of March 9, 2010: Up to 3 available spaces still exist in the above classes for the remainder of the 2009/2010 school year. Several spots are also available at this point in all classes for the 2010/2011 school year.
Our Fees
Regular monthly fees for our preschool classes above are:
2 Classes per Week: $150
3 Classes per Week: $225
4 Classes per Week: $300
5 Classes per Week: $375
— This works out to under $7.50 per hour of instruction!
Note that ArtsCalibre Academy's preschool fully participates in the British Columbia Child Care Subsidy Program to offset the cost of tuition for eligible families.
For registration and fee payment details, please see our Policies page.
Extended Hours
For the convenience of working parents, ArtsCalibre also offers extended hours as follows:
- 3 Year Olds — 8:00 AM - 11:40 AM daily
(1 hour 10 minutes earlier) - 4 Year Olds — 12:45 PM - 4:30 PM daily
(1 hour 15 minutes later)
— for an extra monthly cost of $40 per class (or roughly $8.00 to $8.50 per hour) in addition to the regular monthly fees above. For example: If your child is attending 3 classes per week, add 3 X $40 = $120 to the $225 regular monthly fee, for a total monthly fee of $345.
Note that unlike regular classroom hours, extended hours are non-instructional — but ArtsCalibre staff fully supervise, support and participate in the individual and group play of the children present.
