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.
