Since the implementation of the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care funding plan (CWELCC), there has been an increased demand for child care services across the Region. This has resulted in waitlists for many programs. This includes those operated by the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB). With a growing waitlist, we need to reflect on:
- How varied schedules and part-time schedules are impacting the number of full-time spaces available for families
- How our waitlists are managed
About the Before and After School Survey
The purpose of this survey is to collect input from families on potential policy changes that would impact the before and after school program. We are considering a number of changes, including how families are placed in programs to the type of care schedule options that will be available for families in the future. No decisions have yet been made, so your input will help inform our next steps.
