Our School age program provides enrichment and development opportunities for kids in a fun and safe way.

 

We explore interests, learn new skills and spend meaningful time with peers and adults. We provide fun field trips and venture all over the lower mainland to discover new and exciting places and parks!

​

We strive to offer fun and variety in our program. Children will be offered crafts, games, toys and activities that are all age appropriate. The children will have time to complete any homework assignments, as well as have free time

.

Our teacher to child ratio is 1:12 or 1:15 depending on if Kindergarten age children are present in the group. This is the standard with the licensing regulations of British Columbia. Many times, our ratio is much lower, giving that extra attention to the children in our care. Teachers working with our school age program will have their Responsible Adult, ECE Assistant or Early Childhood Education.

​

At times we split the School Age Program into two groups in order to provide a program that is developmentally appropriate.

Juniors - Kindergarten to Grade 2

Seniors - Grade 3 to Grade 7

 

Children can be moved into a different group depending on many factors including social dynamics, maturity and teacher choice. The groups will remain separate throughout the busy part of the day and will combine in the morning and at the end of the evening when numbers are lower.
