Welcome to the Lambton-Kingsway Before and After School Program. The Program was formed early in 1992 to meet the child care needs of families enrolled at the Lambton-Kingsway Junior Middle School and its surrounding community. The Program is a non-profit organization overseen and directed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
The Before & After School Program is licensed by the Ministry of Education to provide before and after school care for kindergarten and school age children from September to June and a school age Day Camp in the summer. The Program must meet or exceed a range of Provincially determined criteria to renew its license annually. The current license is posted for review in the Program Office.
The Program goals include making sure that the children feel safe and comfortable, have enjoyable options for their time and thrive in a setting where they can grow socially and intellectually. We are continually enhancing the connection between the school day and the child care program by reinforcing the school rules in our program and ensuring that the children’s whole experience is fun, rewarding and consistent.
Several of the staff are registered members of the College of Early Childhood Educators and are experienced in school aged child care.
Staff and child interactions and relationships are very important and the program operates at a lower staff to child ratio than the 1 to 15 school age ratio and 1:13 kindergarten ratio required by the Ministry.
Location
We’re located at Lambton Kingsway School, 525 Prince Edward Drive. The licensed space for the Program includes the lunchroom and five other classrooms we share with the school. The Program Office is located in the LKS lunchroom.
Hours of Operation
The Before and After Program operates Monday to Friday from 7:30 to the start of the school day and from the end of the school day to 6:00 p.m. during the school year.
P. A. Days
A full day of care (7:30 am to 6:00 pm) is offered on Professional Activity (P.A.) days. Special activities such as field trips or presentations may be offered and lunch may be provided.
December Holidays and March Break
Families will be surveyed well in advance to determine the need for a full day program during the December Holiday break.
The B&A program is closed for March Break.
