Out of School Care

Ages 5 - 12 years

Before-school and after-school care conveniently located at Inglewood School

Edmonton Northwest Out of School Care provides before-school and after-school care for children aged 5 to 12. While we are located inside Inglewood Elementary School, our program is open to families from any school in the surrounding area.

Our licensed program offers engaging, age-appropriate care for up to 60 children, with trained and certified staff who hold qualifications in child development, early childhood education, and First Aid. We go above and beyond by providing fun and educational field trips, hands-on activities, and a welcoming space for children to learn, play, and grow.

Through our Out of School Care program, children have the chance to build friendships, explore new interests, and develop confidence in a safe and supportive environment.

Please note: Parents are responsible for arranging pick-up and drop-off through the Edmonton Public Schools transportation system if their child attends a school other than Inglewood.

Programming & Philosophy

Out of School Care

The Edmonton Northwest Out Of School Care Program welcomes all children 5-12 years in age and practices mixed-age grouping. Children with additional needs and developmental delays are always welcome.

Edmonton Northwest Out Of School Care is a recreational program centered around Learning Through Play. Through educational field trips, planned activities, and free play, we give children the chance to learn more about themselves and the world around them.

Family
Involvement

We believe families are a child's first and most insightful educators, and we aim to build strong, flexible partnerships that enrich every child's experience in our OSC progam. 

To support this vision, we:

  • Encourage regular communication and collaboration with families to ensure each child’s needs, interests, and well being are supported—whether through conversations with staff, updates about daily routines, or ways to share feedback and ideas.
  • Provide a warm and inclusive environment that welcomes family input and engagement, helping families feel confident, connected, and valued as part of our OSC community.


This approach reflects the inclusive, play-based, and nurturing nature of your program as described - highlighting elements like licensed care, mixed-age inclusions, learning through play, and support for children to explore, make friends, and grow in confidence.

Andre Davis

Andre always knew he wanted to work with children. After attending college, he was fortunate to begin his career at a non-profit child care centre in his home province of Newfoundland, dedicated to supporting families in need of extra help. It was there that he quickly learned parents and direct caregivers are the most influential people in a child’s life.

Andre joined Community Options’ Out of School Care and Preschool programs 14 years ago, after moving to Alberta. He feels fortunate to work for an organization that recognizes the profound impact early childhood education has on the emotional and cognitive development of children.
