​A Message from our Executive Director 

As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to wish you all and our incredible staff a very happy and safe holiday. This time of year, is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the connections we’ve built and the growth we’ve seen in ourselves, children and community. Looking ahead, we are excited for what 2025 will bring.
 
We currently have spaces available in our Grade 3 and 4 program. If you or any friends in our community are seeking quality before and after school care, please feel free to reach out to our supervisor for more information—we’d be delighted to welcome new faces to our Jackman Community!
 
Thank you for your continued support, and may your holiday season be filled with joy and warmth.

Our JK & SK daily rate remains the same and there has been a decrease to the preschool fees in accordance with the CWELCC reduction requirements.  SK children turning 6 between January and June remain eligible for the CWELCC reduced rate up to June 30, 2025.
 
The fee for NSF charges will be increased to $35.00.
