Child Care and Early Years Programs
Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB) is committed to building strong collaborative partnerships with licensed child care and school age programs, EarlyON Child and Family Centres, and Authorized Recreational Programs in order to support schools, students, families, and communities. Many families benefit from child care and family support services located within our school buildings. And, while each location may offer different programs, all are designed to provide children and their families with an opportunity to learn and grow, providing a more convenient approach to school and child care, with fewer transitions for children and families.
Types of programs available
- Before and/or after school programs for children ages 6-12. These programs are usually held in shared spaces like gyms and libraries.
- Full day/ All day child care *Offered at some school locations
- Early ON Child and Family Programs
Most programs are offered from 7:00 a.m. to morning bell, and from afternoon bell to 6:00 p.m. with daily access to outside play. (Times may vary depending on location.)
The Ministry of Education has general information about child care options in Ontario.
