AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM Options
The PAC Out-of-School Child Care Survey, conducted in Summer 2024, revealed a significant gap in before- and after-school care options within our school community. Many families are currently on the waitlist for the Our House Out of School Care Program. Based on past experience, if a child does not secure a spot when they first start school, it may be a long wait before one becomes available—often not until they age out of the program.
To help families navigate the available options, we’ve compiled a list of potential after-school programs, including Our House for reference.

If you're interested in helping to research, develop, or support new after-school or out-of-school care solutions, we welcome your involvement! Please reach out to us at pac@simonfraserelementary.com, and we’ll connect you with others who share this goal.
The list below is organized as follows:
Programs on-site
