The Daycare will provide services on PD Days beginning on the first day of classes and continuing until the last day of classes.
The programs will be open to the school community and advertised in advance. Each PD program will have a sign-up deadline that must be respected. Extra activity fees are sometimes charged for outings, transportation costs, invited performers and other special inschool activities. The final cost for each PD Day is dependent on the activity planned for the day.
Fees for daycare and extra activities are payable upon registration even for regular Daycare students. Students who register but do not attend the PD day will still be charged the regular daycare fee as well as any special activity fee.

You will be given the chance to register for each PD day separately. The regular daily rate along with the additional activity fee will be charged at the time of registration. Please note, on PD days transportation to and from school is not provided by school buses. Parents need to arrange transportation for their children.
March Break
The Greater Gatineau Elementary School Governing Board decides annually if a March Break program will be offered to the school community. Based on previous PD day registrations we can gauge if there is enough interest. Then a March Break program will be proposed to the school community with a registration deadline. A minimum number of students registered at the deadline date will be required before the program is confirmed.
Holidays
The Daycare will be closed on Statutory Holidays and for two weeks over the Winter Break.
