Daycare Program at Bancroft

Bancroft has two childcare services for parents who need extra care for their child in an educational environment. Our Bilingual Pre-K Program for 4-year-olds, and our Before and After School Enrichment (B.A.S.E.) Daycare Program for all our students.

B.A.S.E. Daycare

Bancroft offers a Before And After School Enriched (B.A.S.E.) Daycare program with caring, compassionate educators.

Our primary objectives are to ensure the safety and general well-being of the children served and to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the school’s educational project. Our educators design recreational activities that contribute to the children’s overall development and encourage social skills such as respect, cooperation and openness to others. We also contribute to their academic achievements by creating an appropriate environment for doing their homework. We promote a healthy lifestyle for children via outdoor play and a healthy snack.

B.A.S.E. daycare is open to all students on Pedagogical days. However, advance registration is required for your child to attend on those days. For pedagogical days, the daycare organizes various activities to ensure that the children have a fun day off from school.

For more information regarding our daycare, please call (514) 788-0020.

Daily Schedule

Morning:7:30 to 8:55 a.m.
Afternoon:3:45 to 6:00 p.m.
Pedagogical Days:7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Please note that the daycare closes promptly at 6:00 p.m. An additional fee of $1.00/minute will be added to your statement for late pick-ups.

Daycare is not available during daycare staff professional days, spring break, statutory holidays and the summer.

Daycare Fee Structure

The Daycare fee structure is based on the student’s status in the daycare. A student’s status is designated as Regular, Sporadic or Occasional.

Regular:

(For a maximum of five hours)

$9.20/day

Pedagogical Day:

(For a total of 10 hours. Additional activity fees may apply)

$12.00/day

Sporadic + Occasional:

(On regular school days)

Fees are based on the blocks the student attends, partial or full, and varies per school depending on the time of each daycare period.


A regular student is one who is registered and attending Daycare for a minimum of one to five days a week and a minimum of two periods a day. This applies to students who attend on a weekly basis and follow a fixed schedule.

A sporadic student is one who is registered and attending Daycare for one period a day (AM, LUNCH or PM). Please note that the lunch period is considered a block. A sporadic student is also someone who is registered and attends on a pedagogical day.

An occasional student is one who is registered but does not have a forecasted attendance and does not attend on a weekly basis. Daycare Services are needed for emergency purposes. The parent/guardian must give the daycare a 24-hour notice when possible and keep in mind that it is not a guarantee that their child(ren) will be put in the same daycare group as their classmates.

IMPORTANT: If you require daycare services for a child who will begin Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten, and is new to the school, kindly contact the Daycare Technician to register. If you do not require daycare services, no action is required.

Should you have any questions concerning the on-line daycare registration, please communicate with the Daycare Technician (514) 788-0020 or send us an e-mail at bancroft@emsb.qc.ca.
