The City of Windsor's Department of Recreation & Culture offers Before and After School Programs for Kindergarten to Grade 8 throughout the school year from September to June.

Each of our before and after school programs is under the direction of program coordinators. These individuals have a passion for developing and implementing recreation programs for children and youth. In addition, each program staff is certified in Standard First Aid with CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) Level C; receives EpiPen training; and obtains specialized training in recreation, programming, safety and emergency procedures, group dynamics and positive behaviour management. Our leaders are energetic and dedicated to providing participants with a fun, safe and memorable experience.

The Ontario Government's Ministry of Sport provides funding to the Corporation of the City of Windsor to run after school programs at five of our locations.
