Licensed
Before & After School
Our Before & After School program provides licensed care for children in JK through Grade 6 during the school year, following the OCDSB calendar.
We pride ourselves on serving our families with flexible registration options, low fees, high-quality programming, and licensing compliance. The Manor Park Community Council (MPCC) offers this before- and after-school licensed child care program under agreement with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB).
Programming takes place in the Manor Park Public School.
Manor Park Child Care Centre is proudly part of the Canada Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program. Together with the City of Ottawa, we aim to provide high-quality, accessible, affordable, and inclusive child care to our families.
The Manor Park Community Council acknowledges the support of the City of Ottawa and the Minister of Education for ‘General Operating Funding’ and ‘Municipal Health and Safety Funding’.

Does my child have to attend Manor Park Public School in order to register?
We accept children from a variety of schools to this community-based program. Please note that we follow the Ottawa Carleton District School Board calendar. Travel arrangements both to and from the program are the responsibility of the parents/guardians.
What ages do you accept?
Before- and after school programming is available for children in JK through grade 6. Licensed Summer Camp accepts children 44 months-12 years of age.
Do you offer part-time options?
No. Registration in the after-school portion is available full-time and is available for children in grades JK-6. Parents must select their days of the week at the time of registration, and days must be consistent each week. Registration in before-school programming is restricted to full-time only (5 mornings per week).
Do you offer fee subsidies?
Qualified families may receive fee subsidies through the City of Ottawa’s ‘Child Care Registry and Waitlist’ (CCRAW) where the registration process begins. Application for fee subsidy is part of the process. Please note: be sure to select ‘MANOR PARK BEFORE- AND AFTER-SCHOOL’ to apply for our program.
Is there fee subsidized programming in the summer?
Yes! Qualifying parents may use their fee subsidies in the summer months.
What about PA Days?
‘Before- and After School in Manor Park’ is offered only on school days according to the OCDSB calendar. However, parents of children in grades 1-6 are offered optional child care for non-school days at an additional cost. These optional days operate only when there is sufficient interest from our families. PA day child care is incorporated into the Kindergarten monthly fees. Parents/Guardians are required to notify the Supervisor if their child will not be using the PA day child care.
And March Break?
We offer a full week of child care over the March Break. This program has limited spaces and is offered at an additional cost to both Kindergarten and School Age children. Registration for March Break opens in January.
How do I pay fees?
Fees are paid monthly using automatic bank withdrawals via Pre-Authorized Debits (PAD).
What should my child bring to the before- and after-school program?
Each child should bring a healthy snack – nut and peanut free, please! — plus indoor shoes, a water bottle and weather appropriate clothing for playing outside.
Please make sure everything is labelled with your child’s name.
