COVID PROGRAM UPDATE

REGISTRATION FOR THE 2020-2021 PROGRAM CALENDAR IS NOW OPEN AND CAN BE ACCESSED HERE: 

​

​

We are planning to continue running our after-school program either out of our office, or in Hairsine Community Centre as we can no longer operate in school gyms. In order to maintain cohorts, we are going to continue grouping participants by the school they attend. Each school will be scheduled to run on a two-week rotating schedule.   
 

We will have a maximum of eight participants at each program and two staff. Mask wearing will be mandatory for the duration of the program by staff and participants. We will encourage frequent hand washing and have hand sanitizer available.  
 

We are excited to announce some program changes. We have a new program- Mini Make Way For Play: a program for grades 1-3 centering around free play and imaginative creation! We have also redeveloped Healthy Heroes to have a sports component. Our fall art program will be drama focused, and the winter art program will be visual arts focused. We will continue to run our Homework Help, and Junior High programs as usual.  

We are launching our registration on September 3 and are anticipating a week 1 program start the week of October 5 and a week 2 program start the week of October 12.   

Thank you for your ongoing support and we are excited to continue to support your children and the community in a safe manner.

Our Values

Trust

At AYP, we trust each other to follow the rules and keep each other safe so everyone can have fun. 

Relationships

We take the time to get to know each other, include everyone, value differences, and respect personal boundaries

Creativity

We value creativity in the activities we do, how we solve problems, and through engaging with free play and art time. 

Playfulness

We believe it is so important to have fun (for kids and adults alike!). At AYP, we show good sportsmanship and participate in all sorts of games and activities.

Empowerment

We believe it is important to empower others, as well as ourselves. We empower each other through our words and our actions. 

Growth

At AYP, we try new things all the time! Whether it's a new snack, game, activity, or a new way to solve a problem, we are all capable of growth.
