Child care programs
We offer a number of child care options right at your neighbourhood Ottawa Catholic School. With licensed child care, before and after-school programs, or play-based drop-in programs for little ones, we have programs to support the needs of all families.

Our Extended Day Program offers your child a fun, safe, welcoming environment focusing on educational and recreational activities before and/or after school. Our daily programming may include arts & crafts, sports, and drama.
You can register your child in our morning, afternoon, or both programs for 2-5 consecutive days a week.
On regular school days, our morning program operates from 7:00 am until regular school-yard supervision begins. Our afternoon program starts following school dismissal until 6:00 pm. We will only operate on PD days and March Break if there is enough interest to warrant running the program, and in that case, our program runs from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Spaces are limited and fees for full days will be charged separately.
Extended Day Program Fees
- Morning program $9.75 per day
- Afternoon program $12.75 per day
