Family Day’s Extended Day and School Age 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.

Our School Age programs are designed for children aged six to 12 years of age, and provide a safe and stimulating before- and after-school experience.  Family Day’s Extended Day programs are for children aged four to six in Full Day Kindergarten and are delivered in partnership with the school boards.

Please go to our Family Handbooks page to access our School Age & Extended Day Programs 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.
