About the After School Program

This program provides a safe and fun environment for children in Grades 1 to 6. Activities are planned for both junior and senior-level children and include outdoor time, arts and crafts, sports, both high and low energy games, swimming, colouring club and reading club. 

ASP is organised to provide the maximum benefit to the children. Each child is assigned to a group based on their age and grade. Each group has designated staff who work primarily with them during the time they are in the program from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.

The afternoon is broken up into two activity periods and a 30-minute free time at the end of the day. 

Each child has the daily option to choose between their group's daily planned activity (running games/circle games), the colouring club and the social club. Kids also get to go swimming every two weeks in the community centre's pool. 

Parent Handbook

Our Parent Handbook provides useful information on our Food and Allergy Policy, how to raise any concerns, and subsidies.
