Grade 1–6 Out of School Care

​

Before school, after school, PD days, school closures, and school-year care for busy families.

​

Wee Wonder’s Grade 1–6 Out of School Care program gives school-aged children a safe, active, and welcoming place to begin and end their day.

Children have time to relax after school, connect with friends, move their bodies, explore interests, and participate in a balance of structured activities and child-led choices. Our program is designed for children who are ready for more independence, while still needing consistent supervision, clear routines, and caring adults who know them.

Fall 2026 programs are currently waitlisted.

​

A place to land before and after school.

​

Older children need a program that feels different from preschool or kindergarten care. They need space to move, socialize, make choices, decompress, and explore their own interests.

​

Our Grade 1–6 program includes a mix of:

• Outdoor play

• Indoor gym time

• Sports and cooperative games

• Art and creative projects

• Science and discovery activities

• Building and construction

• Board games and table activities

• Media and technology-based activities when planned

• Music, drama, and imagination

• Community walks

• Field trips and special guests

• Quiet areas for children who need time to recharge

• Leadership opportunities for older children

• Child-led clubs and interest-based activities

• Educators plan activities with the ages, abilities, interests, and group needs of the children in mind.

​

A balanced routine for school-aged children.

​

Transportation is planned annually based on registration numbers, school schedules, route capacity, staffing, and safety requirements.

Current schools listed:

• Sam Livingston Elementary

• Andrew Sibbald Elementary

• Lake Bonavista Elementary

Families from other area schools may inquire. Children from schools not transported by Wee Wonder may attend if families can arrange their own transportation.

September Registration

​

Registration for September begins in January each year. Existing Wee Wonder families already participating in the Grade 1-6 program are given the first opportunity to renew for the next school year before remaining spaces are offered to new families.

Fall 2026 Grade 1–6 Out of School Care is currently waitlisted.

Families may still submit a space inquiry to be added to the waitlist and contacted if space becomes available.

​

Safe, structured, and actively supervised.

​

Wee Wonder uses clear attendance routines, transition checks, head counts, school pick-up procedures, parent communication, portable emergency records, and engaged supervision to support children’s safety before school, after school, during outdoor play, on transportation routes, and during off-site activities.

Children are supervised by educators who understand the needs of school-aged children and provide a balance of independence, structure, and guidance.

​

Keeping families informed.

​

Families receive updates through the parent app, classroom postings, calendars, direct communication, and program notices.

Parents are asked to notify Wee Wonder of absences, no-pick-up days, schedule changes, transportation changes, subsidy updates, health information changes, and any custody or authorized pick-up changes.

Clear communication between families, schools, and Wee Wonder helps keep children safe.
