Out Of School Care Options
The PAC Out of School Child Care Survey conducted in Summer 2024 highlights a significant need in our school community for before and after school care. Many families are currently on the waitlist for Our House and based on past experiences, if your child does not get in when they start school, it’s unlikely they will secure a spot before they age out of the program.
Below is a list of possible Out of School programs (including Our House for reference). Unfortunately, the options are limited. If you are interested in helping to find or create additional out of school childcare solutions, please contact pac@simonfraserelementary.com. We will connect you with others who share this goal.
The list below is organized as follows*:
Programs on-site
Afterschool extracurricular programs
Programs offering school pick-up
Programs requiring off-site drop-off
*Please contact the business directly for the most up to date information.
