Our programs run from September to June. If you are joining us mid-year, it may take a couple of weeks to complete the registration process and apply for funding. Providence will contact you with a start date for your child. Subject to availability.

If your desired school location is full, we can put your child on our waitlist. If/when an opening becomes available, we will offer that spot to families on the waitlist. Unfortunately, we are unable to estimate how long your child will be on a waitlist or if a spot will open for the current school year.

Providence applies to Alberta Education for this funding once you have registered and provided all necessary documents.

Our schools offer a half-day program, running 2 hours and 45 minutes long. Children can attend in the morning or afternoon, but not both.

Providence is not a one-on-one program but offers small class sizes to ensure each child gets specialized support, as well as the opportunity to practice social skills and benefit from peer modelling.

Providence does not provide Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) programming but will communicate with your child’s FSCD team to share information as required.

Alberta Education states that children can only be enrolled in one Program Unit Funded (PUF) program at a time.
