Welcome to the Kool Kids! We’re Wakefield’s daily daycare centre.
The Western Québec School Board offers daycare services to its students in schools where the demand warrants such a service.
At Wakefield Elementary, these services are offered in the morning before classes and at the end of the school day. A child must be present in school during the afternoon prior to the end of the school day in order to attend the Daycare after school program.
Our primary aim is to provide daycare services that are offered in the morning before classes and at the end of the school day. Our program includes a focus on physical activity and outdoor time, homework time, cultural experiences and socialization. Please contact the Daycare Responsible (Samantha Gowan) should you have any questions, concerns or suggestions.
