Is your child ready for BGC Greater Halifax Clubs?

Before registering, please review the following expectations to ensure your child can participate successfully in our sensory-rich, fast-paced environment. Our programs are designed for children who can engage safely in a group setting with a 1:10 leader-to-participant ratio.

Follow Instructions:
  • Understand and follow group directions with minimal prompting.
  • Transition between activities with little to no assistance.
  • Respond appropriately to redirection from staff.
Engage in Group Activities:
  • Participate in games, crafts, and structured activities without 1:1 support.
  • Play cooperatively with peers and engage in positive social interactions.
  • Respect personal space, use kind words, and follow program rules.
Regulate Emotions & Behaviors:
  • Manage frustration and excitement without aggressive behaviors (e.g., no hitting, biting, throwing things, running away, or excessive disruptions).
  • Express needs and emotions in an age-appropriate way.
  • Use problem-solving strategies with guidance from staff.
Practice Independence in Daily Tasks:
  • Use the washroom independently (fully toilet trained).
  • Eat snacks and meals without direct staff assistance.
  • Change clothes (if needed for activities) without full staff support.
Stay Safe & Engaged in the Program Environment:
  • Remain with the group and respect boundaries (e.g., no leaving designated areas without permission).
  • Follow safety instructions from staff, including emergency procedures.
  • Manage sensory stimulation in a lively and busy setting.
Additional Considerations:
  • If your child has medical, behavioral, or sensory needs, you must discuss them with staff before registration. While we strive to be inclusive, we cannot provide 1:1 support or therapeutic interventions.
  • If your child has severe allergies, medical conditions, or other support needs, families must disclose this information at registration so we can determine if accommodations are possible.

 

If you have any questions or require assistance with the above direction, contact the Administration Lead directly, via email at registration@bgcgh.ca
