Important Update on Child Care Schedules
Dear Families,
We appreciate your patience as we finalize your child’s schedule. We are working through the process of ensuring all parents who registered by the end of the day on July 12th are processed in priority order and will be sending out confirmation emails by July 26, 2024.
Once your child’s schedule is finalized, you will receive a confirmation email. Please wait for this email before reviewing your child’s registration. If you view the schedule before receiving the confirmation email, it may appear incomplete.
We apologize for any inconvenience this delay has caused. If families or caregivers encounter any issues with their registration, please contact support@onehsn.com.
Thank you,
Best regards,
OneHSN Support

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.

WRDSB Before & After School May 31 2024 Professional Development Day
Change in Operating Hours
Extended Day programs will be open for families from 8:15 – 3:15 on the May 31, 2024 Professional Development day.
The daily fee for full-day PD programs will be;
- $14.00 for children 6-12 years old and
- $12.00 for children who qualify for the Canada-wide early learning and child care funding. Fee reduction funding is intended to support children under the age of 6, with some exceptions for children with birthdays early in the calendar year who are 6 years of age and enrolled in kindergarten. More specifically, eligible children are defined as;
- Any child, until the last day of the month in which the child turns 6 years old and;
- Up until June 30 in a calendar year, any child who;
- turns six years old between January 1 and June 30 in that calendar year; and
- is enrolled in a licensed child care program.
All families will have access to care from 8:15-3:15 regardless if registered for before, after or before and after hours.
Why are operating hours changing?
This change in operating hours is required because we have been unable to identify enough qualified staff to meet our licensing and program ratios across all sites. By reducing our operating hours we are still able to offer the program for families who need it and meet the ratio requirements under the Child Care and Early Years Act
Effective June 3, 2024, regular program hours will resume (7 a.m to 6 p.m).
We appreciate your understanding as we work to support families across our Region.

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.
