There are many reasons why parents choose to place their children in before-school daycare or after-school programs. Not only is it great for children's social development, but it can help support working parents with excellent childcare and peace of mind!
So, what can you expect from before and after-school programs if you are considering this for your child? What does our service offer that you won't find elsewhere?
If you are in the Pickering or Ajax area and are looking for school daycare, read on to learn what you need to know!
What Are the Times of the School Programs?
Before school daycare runs from 7:00 AM - 9.00 AM. Our after-school program runs from 3:00 PM - 6.00 PM.
It's also possible to access our shuttle service. If transportation is an issue, we can provide transportation to and from school in certain areas. If you want to find out more about the shuttle service and whether your child can access it, let us know so that we can work with you.
Both of our school programs run from Monday - Friday, and we are closed on Saturday and Sunday.
