The school day's over, the playgrounds are empty, the hours before dinner and bedtime stretch on... to be filled how? Moorelands After-school Programs fill them with structure, stress-free learning, adventure and play.

Our After-school Programs are located in the high needs, under-served, low-income communities of Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park.

• Grenoble Public School

• Gateway Public School

• Thorncliffe Park Elementary School

• Blessed John XXIII Catholic School

In a supportive, inclusive and fun environment, these intentional programs facilitate the development of the Moorelands 4s: Confidence, Character, Competence and making positive Connections, in children aged 6-12 years old. An emphasis on skill development, self-control, character qualities and teamwork helps build life skills that will serve these children well as they grow. Activities include arts and crafts, science, drama, cooking, cooperative games, active games, literacy and cultural activities, all of which are led by our experienced staff and the occasional special guest.

Our programs operate Monday to Friday, 3:15-5:30 p.m., from early October until mid-June, and can accommodate up to 24 children per day.

Registration is required. Spaces are limited to students who attend the respective schools.
