At the Greater Essex County District School Board, we are happy to offer a range of services, programs and child care partnerships within our elementary schools. There are a variety of program options available, allowing you to choose the program that works best for your family.
City of Windsor Child Services
Please note that it is never too late (or too early!) to register for child care in your community. Wait lists can be long as demand for child care spaces continues to grow. Please visit Windsor-Essex OneHSN to register for child care today.
Schools with full day child care
We partner with third party child care partners to offer full day child care programs that are licensed by the Ministry of Education, at select schools within GECDSB. These programs may be available to infants, toddlers and pre-school aged children depending on the specific programs. Visit each school to learn more about the program and find out how to register.
If a third party program provider ceases to operate, the school board will ensure that another program will be available but the fees, days and times of operation may change.

Kids Club Program
The Kids Club Program is an after school program for students in Grade 1 to Grade 8. The program is run by the YMCA and offers before and after care for school-aged children. Learn more about the Kids Club and find out how to register.
We offer this program through the following elementary schools:
Extended Day Program
The GECDSB has partnered with a number of licensed third party child care partners to offer seamless Extended Day Programs in our schools (also known as Before and After School Programs for Children in Kindergarten to age 12). These programs are for students from JK to age 12, who require care before the school day starts and after the school day ends. As child care needs arise, we collaborate with our Child Care partners to conduct surveys in school communities to assess interest in programs. Programs will typically run if there are 20 or more children interested in attending on a regular basis.
EarlyON Child and Family Programs
We are proud to host 14 EarlyON child and family programs in our schools. Explore the EarlyON child and family programs and learn how to register or find a program at a school close to you.
