Additional Child Care Options for Parents During Job Action
We understand that providing supervision during the day for children can be a challenge for many families. With this in mind, the district has created an additional list (to complement our earlier list) of organizations around Vancouver which are providing child-care and educational options for students during job action. Here are a few options to be aware of:
- Vancouver Aquarium have day camps, aqua camps organized
- Badminton Vancouver have events planned
- Canadian Parents For French, listed resources and day camps as well as exchange information
- Grouse Mountain have activities planned
- Jericho Sailing Centre is offering an extended summer camp
- UBC is offering extended summer camps and fall camps
- Science World is running extended summer science camps
- Vancouver Park Board Community Centres are offering programming and camps. Prices vary.
- Arts Umbrella is now offering programming and childcare options
- YMCA Greater Vancouver is offering a variety of fall camps
- Boys and Girls Clubs are offering a number of day camp options
- Neighbourhood Houses and Family Resource Centres are offering various child-care services. These vary by neighbourhood.
Additional activities and day camps have been listed by media in a number of recent articles including in the Vancouver Courier, CBC News and Global News.
Please note that the Vancouver School Board is not endorsing any particular activity, event or business but looking to provide options for parents to consider regarding their childcare during this job action.
