Thank you for indicating your intent to register in the Extended Day Program for the 2024-2025 school year. We look forward to partnering with you in the care of your child.
You have created an account in OneList and need to complete one last step in order to register – you must update your child’s care schedule when the care schedule opens mid June. You will receive an email from OneList asking you to login to your account and update your care schedule. The care schedule calendar will open mid June and spaces are limited so it is recommended you log in to complete this step on June 17. There may be times when a wait list may be implemented. New registrations require 4 weeks advance notice. Due to limited space families must maintain a regular and ongoing care schedule of a minimum of 2 days per week (Before care and/or After care) in order to remain in the program.
Within your child’s account parents must register in OneList separately for Professional Development Days, Camp week (Winter Break and March Break). You must have a regular and ongoing schedule in Before and After care to register for Camp weeks or PD days.
You are not registered until you have days of care showing in the online calendar. Please view your online calendar to ensure the schedule is accurate and note that all future withdrawal notice, or schedule changes for before and after care require two weeks notice. Schedule changes for camp weeks or PD days require 4 weeks notice.
School-based child care programs offer you access to high quality programs in a convenient location.
Programs are offered from 7am-6pm Monday to Friday, designated PD Days at your child’s home school, and at a reduced number of sites during March break and winter break.
All Programs offer:
- Nutritional snacks
- Age-appropriate, high-quality programming
Please visit: www.wrdsb.ca/beforeafter to access program information including program closure dates.
Accounts must be in good standing prior to admission for the 2024-2025 school year. Signing up for pre-authorized debit (PAD) is convenient for families and ensures payment is received on time and there is no interruption to care. If you would like to set up PAD please contact: finance-ExdAR@wrdsb.ca.
We look forward to welcoming your child in the program. Wishing you and your family a wonderful summer. If you have questions about the Extended Day Program please do not hesitate to email us at care@wrdsb.ca.

While we have examined every option to be able to provide care on this day, we are writing to confirm that WRDSB operated extended day programs will also be closed on Monday April 8, 2024.
Families will not be charged for Monday April 8, and programs will reopen on Tuesday April 9.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Pre-registration for the 2024 – 2025 school year is open.
You are receiving this email because your child is currently enrolled in the Before & After School Program.
Between January 15th and April each year, families are asked to express their interest in having their child attend a Before and After School Program during the upcoming school year (September 2024 to June 2025). The Board uses this information to determine which programs will operate in the upcoming school year, and these decisions are communicated to families in May.
School-based child care programs offer you access to high quality programs in convenient locations.
Before and After school programs are offered from 7am-6pm Monday to Friday. Programs operate for reduced hours on designated PD Days, and at a reduced number of sites during March break and winter break.
All Programs offer:
- Ongoing registration
- Nutritional snacks
- Age-appropriate, high-quality programming
While registration can occur at any time, it is important for families to pre register between January 15th and March 31st to help us accurately assess community demand for programs. Spaces are limited and there are times when a wait list is implemented.
To pre-register, please log into your OneList Waterloo Region account. When prompted to pre-register, click Yes and your child will be added to the pre-registration list for next school year. You will receive communication in June advising next steps to complete your registration.
For assistance with the OneList Waterloo Region site, please contact OneHSN Support at support@onehsn.com.
Please visit: www.wrdsb.ca/beforeafter to access program information.
