Extended Day Daycare

Extended day care is available both before and after school for students through grade 8. Groupings vary according to the number of students registered at each age level, and Department of Early Education and Care regulations. Before school, students are in small groups and have a small number of activities available, selected by teachers and based on student interests and ease of clean up. Paper and drawing materials, dramatic play centers and board games are examples.

After school, students are again grouped by age. A regular schedule includes outdoor play time, snack, and, for preschool through elementary grades, a structured group activity. Recognizing that some students are quite tired at the end of the day, participation in the group activity is encouraged but never required. The group activity is planned according to a weekly schedule, and might include cooking, arts and crafts, sports, games, drama or music. Stories are read to younger students, and older students are assisted with their homework. A period of free play, including computer time for older students who are interested, completes the day.
