Available for Pre-Primary-Grade 5 Walking distance to: Smokey Drive Elementary and Ecole du Grand Portage, and potentially available for other local schools. Inquire with us and we will work to arrange a safe drop off/pick up routine for your child(ren)!
Our program is operated and supervised by our teachers and LEAD-trained youth. Children in our Before/After School Program will enjoy a variety of games, crafts, and indoor/outdoor exploration. We have lots of fun at VVA and are thrilled to share it with our local community!
Our program space includes play areas both inside and outside. Inside, we have a gymnasium with attached kitchen and classrooms, lobby/cubby area for backpack storage, washrooms and fountain. Outside, we have a backyard with play structures, field, gardens, apple trees, and meadows/hill for coasting in the winter, as well as an outdoor forest ‘classroom’, and a large secure and safe paved area for balls, scooters, chalk, etc.
We are a small women-owned organization and believe in working together, building a safe, nurturing and strong community for our participants. Our values are communication, dedication and transparency. We uphold these values in all of our programs. For all Before/After School participants, we will work closely and get to know each participant and their family, to ensure we establish a pick up and drop off routine that works for you, and ensure you are confident and comfortable with the care provided.
VVA’s vision is a culture empowered by community, compassion and wonder. In all of our programs, this vision holds true. We strive to bring the joy of connectedness, kindness and learning into all that we do. Join VVA’s Before/After School program - you’ll be happy you did!
