Our Mission
Extended Time is a unique, inclusive service operated by qualified, experienced staff. With a mix of independent and organized activities, we provide the children opportunities to make appropriate choices. Extended Time fosters growth and development of perseverance, curiosity and responsibility.
We Provide:
- Independent and Organized Activities
- Indoor/Outdoor Play
- Homework Support
- Team Building Opportunities
- Physical Activity
- A Nurturing Environment
- Nutritional Snacks
- Assistance with preparing students (changing/practicing) for after school activities and escorting them to their on-site location (scouts, art, sports, tutoring.)
ET staff provide supervised recreational activities allowing time for group games, arts and crafts, movies, field trips, fun with friends and even homework! This program also allows your children to participate in after school art classes or sport practices you might not have been able to transport them to.
Children must be toilet trained. No PULL-UPs allowed. Staff does not manage personal care.
MONTHLY ONLINE PAYMENTS
If you have a student registered in our Extended Time program, monthly payments may be paid online. Statements will be emailed the 15th of each month. Instructions can be found below under the 'Extended Time/Billing Info' tab.
CHILDCARE TAX STATEMENTS
Childcare tax statements were emailed January 18, 2024 to households that participate in our Summer Day Camp and Extended Time programs. Please check your spam folder in the event you have not received your statement
