After-school care can be a challenge for working parents, especially with our early 1:58pm dismissal every Monday. While Brantford doesn’t have a permanent on-site care service, there are some options available, listed below in alphabetical order. Have a look to see if any of them might work for your family.
If you are looking for short-term programs on specific days of the week, visit the After School Programs page for seasonal options held within the school.

Her licensed and regularly inspected home setting includes a fully fenced backyard and accommodates a small group of up to seven children. Each day, she personally walks children to school, ensuring they arrive safely at their classroom door, and returns at dismissal to bring them back to her care until 5:30pm. The program runs full-time only, with no part-time or drop-in availability. Fees may be eligible for reduction through the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), where applicable.

A few Brantford families run a co-op style after-school program on early dismissal Mondays, with a focus on building positive qualities such as kindness, generosity, justice, friendship, and sincerity. Children take part in group discussions, music, stories, art, and cooperative games using materials from the Ruhi Institute’s spiritual education curriculum. Parent volunteers pick students up from Brantford at the 2:00pm Monday dismissal and walk together to the Edmonds Youth Education Centre, where children are picked up at 4:00pm.
