Frequently Asked Questions

  • We do hope to offer before-school programs in the future, provided they are supported by sufficient parent demand.

  • At the current time, we are only able to offer a Monday-Friday program for full-time students. In the near future, however, we hope to be able to offer families greater flexibility in selecting only some days for after-school care. We will also offer a variety of specific extra-curricular clubs.

    In the interim, families registering for the after-school program are in no way obligated to use the program each school day.

  • We are currently working with the relevant authorities to qualify our program to receive childcare affordability grants and to allow families to receive childcare subsidies. We will inform families as soon as this option becomes available.

  • Alberta Education does not provide additional funds to support extra-curricular programs outside of regular school hours. Moreover, for Kindergarten children, funding is only provided for half-time programs.

    For that reason, we are required to charge fees for both the full-time/extended kindergarten program, as well as for before/after-school programming. These fees are charged on a cost-recovery basis, and do not exceed the cost of administering the programs. Fees support the cost of materials/supplies, and the additional staffing that is necessary to deliver these programs.

  • We are currently developing a plan to offer specific after-school clubs. These may include team sports, classical dance, music, choir, studio arts, chess, French, Spanish, Mandarin, science, cross-country, and martial arts. More information will be provided as soon as it is available.
