We partner with quality licensed not-for-profit child care operators to provide before and after school or extended day programs where there is enough interest from parents/guardians interest. Our child care partners include:

  • Fairy Glen Day Care Centre
  • Kids Campus Child Care
  • P.R.Y.D.E. Learning Centres (Professional Reliable Youngsters Development Enrichment)
  • Region of Durham Child Care Services
  • Waterview Child Care Centre
  • YMCA
Location of Child Care and After School Recreation Programs
We partner with service providers to offer Early Years, child care and before/after school programs in each muncipality that we serve.
Fee subsidy 

To apply for child care fee subsidy, visit the Regional Municipality of Durham Children's Services Division website.

From the website, click on child care fee assistance and then click on how to apply for child care assistance.  You will be directed to the on-line application.  Once the application is completed and submitted you and your family will be placed on the wait list.  You may also apply by calling the Children's Services Division at 905-666-6238 or toll free at 1-800-387-0642 and ask for the Intake Clerk.

Once your name is added to the wait list you will receive a letter in the mail confirming your wait list date.  The Regional Municipality of Durham manages the wait list with a "first-come, first-served" basis.  When your name reaches the top of the list, you will be contacted to arrange an intake interview to assess eligibility.

 
Third party 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.  

 
Needs Assessment Survey 

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.
