Upon arrival at our facility, we follow basic personal hygiene habits by ensuring every student uses the washroom and washes their hands. Snacks are provided to ensure nutrition and hydration before starting the activities. We encourage them to first finish the food they may have leftover in their lunch boxes to boost a healthy habit of not wasting food.
BEFORE SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Monday to Friday
7:30 to 8:30 am
Ages: 4 to 10-year-olds
Drop-Off at Riverdale Activity Centre: 7:30 am
Drop-Off to Jackman PS: 8:30 am
Our Before School Program runs Monday through Friday our doors open at 7:30 am. The program incorporates Free Time along with a Morning Stretch Activity. This allows students to get their bodies moving and minds thinking. We believe this helps set the tone and prepare them for their school day. Starting a practice of early morning stretching is a habit that will stay with your child as they grow older. It’s a great way for them to build gratitude, social etiquette, and a health-conscious lifestyle. Currently, we drop students off at Jackman Public School. We start our walk to Jackman at 8:30 am.
As the demand grows, we will look at expanding our drop off to schools in the Riverdale area.
Hot Lunch Program
Monday to Friday
11:30am to 12:40pm

Hot Lunch Program starts with a school pick up at 11:30 am. The program is available Monday through Friday. Student pick-up is currently available from Jackman Public School. As the demand grows we will be expanding to include student pick-ups from Frankland Public School, Claremont School, Holy Name Catholic School and other schools surrounding the Riverdale Activity Centre.
We follow basic personal hygiene habits by ensuring every student uses the washroom and washes their hands before lunch is served. Lunch is then served and includes foods that will boost their nutrient intake as well as keep their tummy's full and satisfied until evening time.
As lunchtime is a great period for children to reset themselves for the second half of the day, we encourage them to get some rest before we drop them back to school. The Hot lunch program ends at 12:30 pm with the kids being dropped back to their school ready and fresh for the second half.
