Out of School Care
BGCCA Out of School Care programs provide quality, affordable care in a safe and nurturing environment for children in kindergarten to grade 6 attending all schools in the Cochrane area.
OSC Programs run yearly during the school year from September to June at our 5th Avenue, Glenbow, and Points West Club Locations.
​
We use a strengths based approach to seek out children's abilities, resources, and gifts to support growth through opportunities in developing socially, physically, intellectually, creatively and emotionally. Professional, qualified staff facilitate a culture of fun, acceptance and positive self-regard and love to play too!!
