Before and After School Child Care

Before and after school child care is offered in all L'Anse Creuse elementary school buildings for children in grades K–5. This program is designed to support working families by providing a convenient, safe, and nurturing environment outside of regular school hours.

Children participate in a variety of age-appropriate, engaging activities that promote creativity and social development. Activities may include arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, and quiet time.

The program is staffed by caring, trained professionals who are committed to creating a positive and supportive experience for every child. Our goal is to enrich each student’s out-of-school time while ensuring their safety and well-being.

The SACC program operates in all elementary school buildings Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM until school starts and from the end of the school day until 6:00 PM.

Half day program hours are from dismissal time to 6:00 PM.

The program is closed whenever schools are not in session, including calamity days (snow days or building emergencies, etc)
