Registration Process (2022-23)
Due to Ministry requirements, the registration process begins with the City of Ottawa Child Care Registry and Waitlist as described below.
- Go to the City of Ottawa Child Care Registry and Waitlist (formerly known as the centralized waitlist) and login to your account. If you do not already have an account, set one up and enter your child's information.
- In the Program Selection section, under Provider Type, select Nursery Preschool /Co-op Based. You can then select Good Morning Preschool.
- Select the program you are interested in enrolling in.Note that the Preschool Morning option is for Preschool and Beyond, including Mornings, Half Days, and Full Days.
- When you submit your choices to the Ottawa Child Care Registry, Good Morning Preschool is notified and will email you as soon as we can. If there is space in the desired program, we will send you the relevant registration form by email; if not, we will reach out anyway, and you will automatically be placed on a waiting list. Please note there is an $80 registration fee, due only when you submit the forms you received from us.
Fee Subsidies
If you require a fee subsidy, you can apply on the City of Ottawa Child Care Registry when you register your child for a Good Morning program on their website. Here is the link for complete instructions on applying for a subsidy.
There are five types of documents plus a Rights and Responsibilities/Consent form to submit to the City in order to apply for a subsidy. You can submit these by email to CCRAW-RELAGE@ottawa.ca or in person at the Community and Social Support Centre nearest you.
NOTE: We cannot place a child in the program until the fee subsidy application has been approved by the City. Please ensure that you have submitted your fee subsidy application in good time to avoid delays in registration. The minimum estimated time to process a fee subsidy application, once the City has received all necessary documentation, is about two weeks.
