Enrollment Process: Infant/Toddler & 3-5 Programs
How to get a space at SFU Childcare (Infant/Toddler & 3-5 Programs)
SFUCCS Staff, SFU and UniverCity Family priority status will be verified at the time of enrollment and transition to a different age group and the retention of childcare cannot be guaranteed at transition if the priority status has changed.
1st: A space becomes vacant as a child withdraws or ages up to an older age program.
2nd: Any children within the existing program who wish to make changes (eg. part-time to full-time) will be given first priority to accept the vacant space based on their current priority status.
3rd: If no child currently attending the program wants the available space, it is then offered to a child who is aging out of a younger program at SFUCCS based on their current priority status.
4th: If none of the above steps have filled the space, it is offered to children on the waitlist in the following priority based on the earliest dates of application.

Sapperton Infant & Toddlers to the Sapperton 3-5 years programs - Internal Movement
Children will be moved to the 3 to 5 age group based on birthdate and space availability. (from 34 months of age to the month of their 3rd birthday). If this is not possible, we are able to apply for a retention from our childcare licensing officer to retain children in the Infant and Toddler Age Group beyond their 3rd birthday.
NOTE: If we are unable to accommodate your child in the Sapperton 3 to 5 year old program by the time he/she has turned 3, SFU status families will be considered for a space in a 3 to 5 year old program at the Burnaby Mountain location, pending space availability.
