After School Daycare
The BGC Dieppe After School Daycare offers a variety of programs and activities for school aged children until the age of 12.
Our licensed Afterschool Daycare operates Monday-Friday starting after school and closes at 6pm. We currently pick up from the following schools within the community: Lou MacNarin, Arnold H (grades 3-5 only), École Amirault and École le Marais; and the following schools drop-off the children to a bus stop near the Centre where they are greeted by a staff member École St. Thérèse, École Anna-Malenfant and École Carrefour de L’Acadie. Upon arrival a healthy snack is provided to the children. Transportation to school in the morning is also available upon request for a small additional fee. Full day childcare is available starting at 7:30am on PD days, storm days, and during school vacations.
After School Daycare
We strive to have our afterschool program something that the children look forward to after they have been at school all day. We believe that providing our children with a safe and supportive place where they are able to express themselves, make their own choices, and explore new opportunities is essential in their growth and development. By providing the children with stimulating, engaging and hands on activities they are constantly learning at their own pace while creating memories and having fun with peers their age.
