Ottawa – The City’s September 2021-2022 Before and After School programs at various locations are now available to browse online. Registration will take place on Wednesday, June 9 at 9pm. Programs are offered in English and French.
The start of Before and After School programs are dependent upon COVID-19 restrictions being relaxed sufficiently to allow in-person learning this September. It is important, however, to proceed with registration for Before and After School Care programs to allow enough lead time to help residents, especially parents and guardians, to plan for the upcoming 2021-2022 academic year.
Prior to the program beginning, parents will receive a Before and After School Parent Handbook with additional information on expectations and protocols.
The COVID-19 modified activities will include creative physical-distancing games, sports, and arts and crafts. Quiet homework time will also be provided.
