Many Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ District School Board schools offer on site Before and After School Programs (BASP) for children in kindergarten to Grade 6.Ìý These programs are operated by third party, licensed, not-for-profit child care operators. Fees for service are determined by each operator. BASP fees have been included as a general overview and are subject to change. ÌýTypically, programs are offered from 7:00 a.m. to morning bell, and from afternoon bell to 6:00 p.m. (although the exact time for these programs may vary atÌýeach school).

School-Age Programs may operate on non-instructional days (e.g. professional development days, winter, spring and summer breaks) if there is a need required by families within the community, and is offered by the licensed child care operator.

Authorized Recreation and Skill Building Program is another option for after school programming available at a few school locations.

Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care – Information for Families

The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system is a five-year plan to reduce the cost of child care to an average of $10 per day by 2026. Each municipality is working with the provincial government to implement this program for families with eligible children. Currently, all third-party licensed child care providers in Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ schools are a part of the CWELCC system, offering reduced fees for children 0-6 years.

Children under the age of six (or who turned six before June 30, 2023) in a licensed child care program participating in CWELCC, are eligible for fee reductions that will help with the cost of child care. If your child is in kindergarten and attending the before and/or after school program, and turns six during the school year, they are eligible for a fee reduction until June 30 or the end of the month that they turn six. If your child is enrolled in a participating School-Age CWELCC program and turns six, they are eligible until the end of the month they turn six.
