Kids Club
In September of 2011, Wee Care saw the need to open a separate school age program. This opened up 15 spaces for children in grades one to grade 6 (age 12). Located in the Multi-Purpose room of the school, Kids Club operates every morning before school, every afternoon after school, on no-school days as well as all school PD days.. This program allows for the 'big kids' to have their own space for allotted periods of time. School age kids do, however, merge with the preschoolers before 8:00am and after 4:15pm. As well as a convenience for staffing, this merge allows the ages to mingle while siblings can be together, as well as an opportunity for the older children to take on a mentoring roll. The Kids Club kids have enjoyed many outings, projects and special days since Kids Club opened. Special programming takes place for long stretches of no school days, such as spring break, summer holidays and winter break.
