    ABOUT

    Fun Before and After the Bell

    We’ve never added up the amount of white glue or the number of popsicle sticks, crayons, markers, and toys we’ve gone through while keeping kindergarteners in our programs busy.

    After all, we’ve been at this for more than 50 years and cared for over one hundred thousand children.

    Whether you’re dropping off your kindergartener early or picking them up late, our play-based learning before and after school programs will keep them connected, active, well-fed, and having fun, all under the protective watch of our highly trained and caring staff.

    Really, our Before & After School Programs are the simplest and least disruptive way to extend your child’s school day.

    About PLASP

    OUR HANDPICKED STAFF

    Caring for Children, Supporting Parents

    Your child deserves the very best. And that’s why they are cared for by compassionate, qualified staff who take the time to listen, play, and create a balanced program that supports and encourages their development.

    Our Kindergarten Programs are all staffed by RECEs (Registered Early Childhood Educators) who understand the needs of young children and will provide the right support for their stage of development.

    All staff hold a valid Standard First Aid Certificate with Level C CPR and complete a specialized training program which includes: WHMIS, Food Safety, Health and Safety Essentials, Administration of Medication, and Self-Esteem Orientation.

    Staff must also pass a Vulnerable Sector Criminal Reference Check, which is an enhanced background check for individuals in positions of trust or authority over vulnerable persons in Canada.

    Our Standards

    Programs Designed To Support Busy Families


    Whether it’s before school, after school, or during breaks and P.A. Days, we’re here to support busy families. Our programs provide a safe space for your child to connect, learn, and play. The best part is that our programs follow the Ministry of Education’s curriculum and complement your school board’s kindergarten program, extending the school day with play-based learning that feels natural and familiar.

    Before School Programs

    For families who start the day bright and early, our Before School Programs begin at 7:30 a.m.

    As they walk through the doors, children are greeted by our friendly staff and have plenty of time to get some breakfast and spend time with their friends.

    The bell rings, and the school day is over. But for children in our After School Programs, they get to play with friends, enjoy a nutritious snack, participate in fun activities, and so much more.

    From school dismissal until 6 p.m. our staff will keep your child engaged and active. It’s the perfect way to wrap up the day.

    MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES

    Nutritious Meals and Snacks

    Partnering with a nutritionist, we developed our menus to follow Canada’s Food Guide.

    In our Before School Programs, children enjoy a healthy breakfast that allows them to choose from options like cereal, fruit, milk, and yogurt.

    In our After School Programs, children are offered a nutritious afternoon snack with options like whole wheat crackers and a salad bar that may include romaine lettuce, chickpeas, pickles, parmesan cheese, and dressing.
    For Break and P.A. Day Programs, children are served a nutritious breakfast, an afternoon snack, and, depending on the program, a pizza lunch.

    AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE

    High-Quality Care at Competitive Fees

    We are PLASP, a not-for-profit, charitable organization that puts children first.

    We work incredibly hard to offer child care services at affordable and competitive rates, without cutting corners.

    Depending on the age of your child, our programs also qualify for the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system and you may qualify for regional subsidies, both of which help families reduce the cost of child care.

    It all adds up to exceptional child care that balances quality and value, giving your family the support you need at a price that works.
