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.
Before and after-school Extended Day Program (EDP)
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.
Lower child care fees through the CWELCC
Canada’s new CWELCC system looks to ensure that all families in Canada have access to high-quality, affordable, flexible and inclusive child care no matter where they are. Recently, the OCSB’s Extended Day Programs (EDP) joined the CWELCC. This means kindergarten families will begin to see:
- More affordable child care options
- Lower child care fees for eligible families
Our partners at the municipal, provincial and national levels have all shared more information on the subject. For information specific to the national Capital region you visit the City of Ottawa’s website.
Fee Table
Age | Morning | Afternoon | Morning & Afternoon | PD Days & March Break (where applicable) |

Extended Day Program Handbook

How to register for EDP
Children must first be registered at the school where the Extended Day Program is located. Complete a New Admission Request form to put your child’s name in our system for the Extended Day Program (EDP). After you complete this form, we will send you a confirmation email, but that does not mean your child is registered in EDP. We will contact you to complete the registration process once there is space for your child in the program. You will receive a second confirmation email when you’ve completed the registration process and your child has a spot in EDP. Once your child has a spot, there is a two-week waiting period before starting the program.
Current students and the EDP Parent Portal
If your child is currently registered in the Extended Day Program, you can use the EDP Parent Portal to update your personal information.
