Before & After School Care for Kindergarten to Grade 7

Before school care

A calm, confident start to the day

A welcoming morning program designed to help children settle in, connect and prepare for the school day at a comfortable pace.

Start with belonging

Morning care with room to choose

Children arrive with different energy levels and needs. KIDO's developing before-school approach balances calm choices, friendly connection and practical preparation.

Rather than beginning the day with a tightly scheduled lesson, children may choose from quiet, creative and social experiences with support from the program team.
