St. Viator’s “Kid Care” program offers before and after school supervision. It's a fantastic option for working parents, or those in need of occasional backup care. The Kid Care staff takes excellent care of your child while providing homework space, snack time and a variety of activities.
In fact, many a child has actually complained to their parents about picking them up too early! That's a testament to Mrs. Connie and her great team of caregivers.
REGISTRATION
Kid Care registration forms must be completed before children can be admitted into the program. Children attending Kid Care must be students of St. Viator School. The Kid Care program is only in operation when school is in attendance. There is no Kid Care if there is an emergency closing day.
