Third party child care provider fees
Third party child care operators' daily fees range from $20.60 to $25.00 per day. Please note that the proposed fees are subject to change.
If a school's child care provider is cancelled, the extended day program will be offered by the our Durham Catholic District School Board or another child care provider in the school; but the fees, days and times of operation may change. If the Board chooses to operate an extended day program, its fees would be $30.00/hour.
Child Care Needs Assessment Survey - Before and After School/Extended Day Program
To determine the need or interest in before and after school and/or extended day programs, we offer families a child care needs assessment survey. The survey is now closed. It will be available again in January of each year.
How to complete the survey
Information on how to access the survey is sent home with students and available to new families via the Kindergarten registration package.
How are results used?
Survey results assist us in planning future before and after school/extended day programs for children in Kindergarten to Grade 6.
In the event that a child care provider is unable to deliver services, another child care operator will be determined or the Board may run the program. In this situation, the fees, days and times of operation may change.
