Before/After School Care offered at School?

[playfelt]

A lot of the schools here in Ottawa offer in school daycare for school age kids. Spaces fill quickly and there is more demand than space. As the move is made to full day kindergarten the before and after school care component is part of the program and schools were supposed to offer it - the seamless day concept. But the schools got a reprieve and only had to offer it if enough parents signed on. IF your school starts to offer the program I would expect some of your parents to be interested depending on what the cost will be. The good news for you is that there will probably be more demand for the program than spaces so not all of your kids would even get in.

got the letter today, they are accepting registration for the school daycare starting next fall! That was fast eh? I supposed there was a huge demand for it!

I have a 4 year old dck starting kindergarten this fall in a school where they have a before/after school program and the parents told me it was pretty pricey. I don't remember the exact figure but I think it was way cheaper to use a homedaycare for after school than it was the school program.

I have heard from a couple of parents in my area that the before and after school program offered at the schools is more expensive than they were paying for full day care. If this is true, you will probably keep all your kids!
