Located in North-West London, Orchard Park Schoolage Program is our smallest school age program, situated inside the Orchard Park Public School, an elementary school of the Thames Valley District School Board. This location provides before and after school programs for children 3.8 – 12 years.

Our indoor and outdoor environments invite school age children to safely learn through play and exploration, build on their strengths and develop and nurture friendships. Our children enjoy exploring Orchard Park’s natural playground and our educators provide lots of opportunities for healthy physical activity before and after a busy school day. The children of Orchard Park are a very inquisitive group. They exchange questions with the educators and together they discover and learn together. Educators provide a wealth of real, natural and play materials which engage the children’s creativity and support their interests. Healthy snacks are served before and after school.

We provide inclusive environments that welcome families and invite them to participate as they feel comfortable. Ongoing communication between educators and families supports the well-being of the children and gives families a sense of belonging. Communication takes many forms in order to support the diverse needs of families. Storypark, a web-based interactive communication tool, gives educators and families the opportunity to share in the children’s learning & daily experiences and the Storypark app is used to provide timely information to families such as inclement weather closures.
