Drop-in opportunities in registered Children Service’s Programs!

We offer drop-in opportunities in our registered Children Service’s programs if space is available. This allows you to try out a program to see how your children like it, or gives you time to work out or time for yourself on a day that suits your lifestyle.

The cost of a drop-in is higher than the registered cost, as we believe children will get much more from the program if they sign up for the whole session.

How does it work?

1. Choose the program you want your child to try out.

2. Check availability with our customer service team.

3. Divide the cost of the program by the number of sessions & add $2. This is your drop-in price for the day.

4. Pay at the front desk and then give your receipt to the program instructor.

5. Remember to leave your contact name and number with the instructor for emergencies.

6. If you choose to register or want more information about any program, visit www.experienceit.ca!
