If you are in a situation where both parents are not living under the same roof, please ensure that you put in writing how you would like to handle decision making procedures regarding your child’s best interests while in care. 

​

It is our recommendation that all separated/divorced parents provide a copy of the custody arrangement. We would be unable to enforce any custodial parents requests without legal documentation.

This copy should include the following:

• TITLE PAGE (this states who is involved)

• CUSTODY PORTION (this clarifies the agreed upon arrangements)

• THE JUDGES SEAL & SIGNATURE (this confirms it has been reviewed by a Court of Law)

​

Parents need to work together to ensure that collectively there is consistently one set of directions, that they are presenting a united front as far as decisions or issues that affect your little ones participation in our program. We also collect payment from one parent or guardian and the sharing of information about yourchild would be up to your discretion should it be in writing. Some examples that may be in writing might be who can authorize the release of your child at departure time, how you would want to handle payment of fees, etc.

​

It is the responsibility of both parents to keep the lines of communication open. Unfortunately it is not our role, nor do we have proper counselling background to mediate family disagreements. Should a family be in a situation where their inability to provide a united front while in the program; and in our opinion; this behaviour is affecting the well-being of their own child or others within the program, we may be required to discontinue services, this is until such a time that ‘family harmony’ can be restored and if there is still a spot open at that time. We hold the right to terminate the agreement without notice.
