Parents’ Corner

Please refer to our Parents’ Manual (pdf) for helpful information on how to prepare your child for school and how our school generally operates.

School Closures

Our school closes for snow days when school buses in Manotick are not running. Please click here to see the current status of school buses for the Ottawa School Boards. You may also call the school after 7:30 am to hear a message confirming school closure that day. Our Phone committee will also try to call to confirm before 7:30 am.

When To Keep Your Child At Home

We follow guidelines set out by the Public Health Department regarding childhood illness. You may not bring your child to school if he/she has a fever, has recently vomited, had diarrhea, has a “croup-like” cough or thick, constant runny nose. Please click here to see the Health Departments Exclusion Policy for other illnesses.

Parent Comments

We would like to share some comments from our May 2010 survey:

‘We couldn’t be happier with MCNS…it’s everything we wanted in a Nursery School and more.  The staff is amazing and all the activities are fun and age appropriate.  Keep up the good work!’   

‘We have been extremely pleased with everything at MCNS.  Both our daughters have now started their first schooling at MCNS and both have had such a positive experience.  The staff are outstanding!!’ 

‘Both our children have attended the co-op and what makes it stand out in our minds is the intimate setting, the nuturing from teachers and the variety of crafts and activities offered to the children.  We feel this is an excellent program and provides a terrific foundation for the children to then progress to Kindergarten.’
