Speaking with teachers or administration
Pre-booking conversations via phone or e-mail is essential as we have many families and want to ensure we can focus on your needs. If you would like to chat with your child's teaching team, please book an appointment at least three business days in advance through office@aspenhillmontessori.ca. Drop-in visits may not be able to be accommodated as our full attention must remain on the children. Thanks for your understanding!
Dropping off payments
Tax receipts
Tax receipts must be requested between January 6 - April 30, and will be issued 4 weeks from the date requested. Please plan ahead as we cannot accommodate rush requests for receipts. Backdated receipts previous to the 2021 tax year may take additional time to produce. Receipts requested beyond April 30th may take 2-3 weeks to produce.
​
If you have questions about tax receipts, you can contact our accounting team at tax@aspenhillmontessori.ca between
January 1 and April 30th each year. Outside of this time, please write the Office at office@aspenhillmontessori.ca. Please note, teachers and administrators at the Centre cannot provide information on tax receipts.
All payments are now made via Rotessa auto-withdrawals. If you do need to drop off a payment to the Centre, please ensure that you provide a cheque made out to Aspen Hill Montessori, with your child's student ID and name on the cheque. Ask for it to be given to the Director.
