Extended Day Program
What is the Extended Day Program?
The Waterloo Catholic District School Board is pleased to offer a fee-based Extended Day Program for children from Kindergarten to Grade 6.
Led by Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs), the program offers high-quality, faith-based care that nurtures children’s growth through play-based learning, fostering curiosity, independence, communication, and overall development while complementing the Kindergarten curriculum. With familiar educators and a convenient school setting, it provides a seamless, secure, and inclusive experience that promotes equity of access in a safe and nurturing environment.
Additional Information
Extended Day Programs are available before and after school (e.g., 7:00 – morning bell time & afternoon bell time – 6:00 pm), select PA Days (see Parent Handbook for details) and during Christmas and March Break where viable. Programs operate on a cost-recovery model and are available to parents on a full/part-time basis with a set recurring weekly schedule.
The Waterloo Catholic District School Board sets Extended Day fees at a Public Trustee Board meeting. The daily fee for the 2024-2025 school year is $32.50 per day for before and after-school, select PA Days, Christmas, and March Break programs. This fee is pro-rated based on bell-times for the before and after school program.
