Family Day’s Before & After School Programs offer a positive and safe environment that nurtures children socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically.  This environment encourages the development of happy, self-motivated, and independent children. Our Educators are committed to providing stimulating and creative programs, which are flexible and adapted to children’s needs.

  • We offer before and after school child care for children aged 4 to 6 in Full Day Kindergarten. This program is delivered in partnership with the school board.
  • Our Before & After School program designed for children aged 6 to 12 provides a safe and stimulating before- and after-school experience.

Please go to our Family Handbooks page to access our Before & After School Family Handbook.

Our Philosophy

We believe that children and families are central to everything we do. We believe in understanding and responding to the needs of our community. We believe in collaboration, support,  and mutual respect.

Family-Centred Child Care

Family Day recognizes the importance of the family and the community in child development. As a family-centred child care organization, we work to strengthen the relationships among children, families and communities. Family Day understands culture, diversity, community and public policy all affect child and family development. We support our families and recognize and respect parents as the most important caregivers for children.
