Nurturing Child Care Options

We are committed to providing high quality, safe and nurturing child care. Each child is recognized and supported in a manner that respects the child’s emotional, social, intellectual, and physical needs.  Our inclusive school-age program offers a relaxed and safe environment where children are given an opportunity to learn, grow and be challenged.

We believe that each child is unique with different needs and aspirations.  We understand that the support and guidance provided to one particular child may not work for another, therefore; individual approaches are implemented where possible.

We are committed to providing children with:

  • Play environments that are inclusive, cooperative and diverse.
  • Opportunities for positive self-development.
  • Our staff will provide quality care for each child in a safe and supportive setting.

Program Overview & Registration

Out of School Care Programs

Our Out of School Care Programs are licensed care facilities which provides care up to a maximum of 24 children at a time, with the exception of Bench Elementary which provides care up to a maximum of 36 children.

Families currently enrolled, will be given the option for priority registration for the following school year. Re-registration will be available for families in the Esikidz software for the subsequent school year.

New families looking to enroll in our Out of School Care program can add their child(ren) to the waitlist. This waitlist does not guarantee your child is enrolled, but is based on a first-come first-served system.

Registration preference will be given to siblings of existing children in care & families that are utilizing full-time, before and after school care, Monday to Friday.

Registration

Our Out of School Care programs are currently based at 6 Elementary School sites in the district.

You can add your child(ren) to the waitlist using this link to our Esikidz Software – Out of School Care Waitlist – Esikidz

This is a first-come first-served system, which allows us to be objective and provide equitable access to our programming. If there is space in the program you are interested in, Kacey Milligan – Administrative Assistant of Early Learning and Child Care will get in contact with you via phone or email with more information.
