Register asap for before-and-after care for JK/SK students

A reminder that if you want before-and-after care for your kindergarten students next year, you must register as soon as possible! So far, 15 families have registered. The program needs 20 students to proceed.

I am hearing that the cost is between $27-32/day.... contact the provider for details as I am definitely not an official source.

Kindie before- & after-school childcare - registration TODAY

Sorry for the late notice, but there is a registration evening this afternoon (Wed Apr 27, 3pm-6pm) at Clairlea for before- and after-school care for full-day kindergarten students.

My understanding is that the program will only go ahead if there is sufficient registration. If you can't make it tonight, you may also register with East York East Toronto Family Resources (EYET) by appointment; contact Mindy Williams at 416-690-0349 or mindywilliams@eyetfrp.ca.

A letter and flyer were sent to parents yesterday.
