This summer we were able to extend our before- and after-school license to offer care to children in the months of July and August–and we had the best time ever! Games in the water and sunshine, playing with friends and making memories, left children and staff happy, but exhausted, at the end of the day. I’m already looking forward to next summer, not just for the beautiful weather, but to spend it with more amazing kiddos!
Now that summer has ended, Before- and After-school in Manor Park, Manor Park Playschool, and Occasional Childcare Centre have reopened! Our wonderful team of educators are excited to welcome back children and families from last year and as well as the new faces who are joining us this fall.
Spaces are still available in all our programs! If you are needing childcare for Before and/or Afterschool for your 4 to 12-year-old(s), are looking for a playschool setting for your 2.5 to 5 year old(s) or just need some occasional care for your 2.5- 5 year old(s) send us an email at bas@manorpark.ca.
