Before & After School

" BUILDING NEW FRIENDSHIPS ALONG THE WAY "

S.E.E.D.S. offers before and after school care at several locations for children 6 to 12 years. School-age “clubs” are set up to encourage children to have fun after a long day at school. A wide variety of activities are available for children to choose from. As well, quiet areas are set aside for children to relax, unwind or to do homework. These programmes are set up to encourage children to explore, experiment and discover, while building new friendships along the way.

We also offer full-day programmes during the Christmas Break, March Break, and Professional Development Days. Weekly camp sessions run during the summer – every week is a different focus with new and exciting activities.

ADMISSIONS

Because the programmes have been developed in collaboration with individual schools and school boards, priority is given to children and families of the school and local community. Additionally, we give priority consideration to families who currently have siblings enrolled in our programmes. We encourage all families to arrange a tour of the centre and speak personally with the supervisor and staff before enrolling their children in the programme.

HOURS OF OPERATION

Hours of operation will vary slightly with each location. Most programmes run from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm.

OUR STAFF

Our school-age staff all hold Early Childhood Education Diplomas or have specialized training and experience working with school-age children. They participate regularly in workshops and professional development opportunities to bring fresh new ideas back for the children.

NUTRITION

All programmes serve a nutritious morning and afternoon snack. Children bring their own lunches for full-day programmes. Menus are always posted for your information and accommodations are made for allergies or diet restrictions.
