Is your child experiencing a gap in their learning?
Do you find committing to 5 weeks too difficult?
Our 1-week boosters are a wonderful alternative to weekly lessons to fill in specific gaps in literacy skills. Get the same number of hours in one week that you would coming for 3 months. Our instructors informally assess your child on the first day of the program and develop literacy goals for the week of the program. Choosing a Booster is the next best choice for an Intensive program. Evidence shows daily repetition inspires more growth than once a week.
Please refer to the program information below to see any upcoming Literacy Booster Weeks we are offering.

Cancellation Policy
Missed lessons/rescheduling:
We allow one missed lesson for any reason. Reasonable notice must be provided (for example, if a lesson starts at 8:30a.m., notifying us by 7:30 is reasonable). That lesson will be made up; however, if a suitable time cannot be found after new time offers from the program, the lesson is forfeited, and no refund is provided.
- If an instructor is absent, we will provide a sub or make up the lesson.
- Last-minute notice is considered a no-show. No-show lessons are not eligible for make-up lessons.
In the event of something unforeseeable coming up (car breaks down, driver is unwell, etc) we will offer the lesson online. If we receive last minute notice, we will take the first ten minutes of the lesson to get ready and that time will not be made up.
Withdrawal:
If a family withdraws less than 7 days prior to the program start date, an administration fee of $100 will be charged, as an Instructor will already have been secured. The remaining balance will be refunded.
Payment
Lessons must be paid in full one week BEFORE the first lesson. Failure to pay for lessons (or failure to communicate with Foothills about a payment plan or payment needs) will result in program cancellation. A deposit equivalent to the first day of lessons is due at registration upon confirmation of your child's program. You will be sent an invoice upon confirmation of your child's program. You are welcome to pay for the program in full at that time.
Client expectations:
Our Instructors strive to engage their students in a strength-based and collaborative manner. We will let you know as soon as possible if a young person’s emotions and/or behaviour in a session prevented us from working with them in an effective manner. Should this occur, we would work in partnership with you to resolve the situation. If there were ongoing issues that impact the young person’s benefit from the sessions, and/or impact others, we would refund any remaining sessions.
