Child Care

 

The Northwest Catholic District School Board strives to ensure that families are well supported through its shared commitment to well-being and education with our childcare partners. In partnership with licensed childcare providers, currently has three schools that offer programming:

 

St. Joseph’s School (Dryden)
Sacred Heart School (Sioux Lookout)
St. Mary School (Fort Frances)

 

Our Before and After School Programs are offered for students in Kindergarten to Grade 6.

 

Families may be eligible for subsidies to help cover the cost of before-and-after school programs. For information on applying for fee subsidies for childcare, please visit

the Kenora Services Board Website (Dryden and Sioux Lookout) and District of Rainy River Services Board (Fort Frances).

Childcare fees are subject to the implementation of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Plan.
