After-School Program 2025-2026

A safe and supportive place for kids to learn, grow, and belong
PROGRAM OVERVIEW

At Simcoe Hall, we believe every child is unique and deserves a place where they feel safe, supported, and inspired. Our After-School Program provides a warm, nurturing space where children can explore new experiences, build confidence, and develop socially, emotionally, and academically, all while having fun.

Who can join?
Our program is open to children in Grades 1–8 from local families, with a focus on supporting those from low-income households in our community.
