Out of School Club

The Out-of-School Club (OSC) is a licensed childcare program offering care for school aged children, September to June. With a focus on child-led play, exploration and natural curiosity, OSC aims to connect children through indoor and outdoor programming.
 The OSC program hours compliment the Canadian Rockies Public School calendar- providing care during the after school hours, PD days, parent/teacher interviews, the staggered kindergarten entry and school breaks.
 
To maximize childcare space and deliver most effective service, we have changed our OSC groups this year. OSC's two program rooms are now the Norquay Room (formerly the Kindergarten OSC room) and the Cascade Room (formerly the Gr.1-6 OSC room). The Norquay Room will provide care to Kindergarten and Gr.1 participants. The Cascade Room will provide care to Gr. 1-6 participants. 

Please note which room your child is registered for when you are making changes to your registration or seeking program information.
