All the resources to make life easier for parents
Here you’ll find practical information on registration, eligibility, fees, subsidies, useful documents, and answers to frequently asked questions. Our goal is to guide you clearly and support you throughout your family’s early learning journey in French.
This section brings together the key resources for families—from registering your child and understanding eligibility to learning about fees, accessing subsidies, and finding the documents you need. We aim to provide a clear and comprehensive space to simplify the process and answer your questions.

Eligibility
Le Petit Voilier applies the same eligibility criteria as the Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (CSAP), in accordance with Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. There are two categories of eligible children: those whose parents meet the criteria and those whose parents do not.
To confirm eligibility, the administration may ask a few questions and will request that you complete the official CSAP eligibility form. If the form is not completed, the family will be asked to withdraw the child within one month.
Fees & subsidies
Fees vary depending on your child’s age and the type of program (infant, toddler, junior, preschool, or school-age care). Thanks to the Canada–Nova Scotia Agreement on Early Learning and Child Care, fees are capped, and provincial subsidies are offered to help reduce costs for families
