Early Years and Childcare Programs
Durham District School Board (DDSB) provides a variety of Early Years programs to support your child's development. We offer Child Care programs for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, as well as before and after school programs for elementary school children that can help your child transition from early years programming into the elementary school setting. Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE) will work with families to identify and support developmental needs. DDSB's Inclusive Student Services department can help provide your child with any special needs resources they need to excel in school.
Additional programs include:
- Kindergarten
- Child Care
- Family Support and Early Years Hubs (EarlyON)
- Great Beginnings: School Success Program
- Summer Programs
- After School Recreation programs
