Situated in a quiet Orleans neighbourhood and ideally located in its own bright and spacious cove within an elementary school, Trillium School Age Program serves 74 children from junior kindergarten through grade 5 students, all of whom attend Trillium Elementary School. Special arrangements are in place for the children to access the school’s gymnasium for gross motor activities. We provide nutritious morning and afternoon snacks for the children.

Our hours of operation are 7:05 a.m. to 5:55 p.m., Monday to Friday.
We are open year round, excluding Statutory Holidays.

Our play spaces are designed to encourage all aspects of your child’s development. In each program room at Trillium, children can safely explore a learning environment that is designed to encourage their optimal physical and cognitive growth, appropriate to their age and level of development.

We offer a balance of structured and unstructured, stimulating and quiet-time activities and an abundance of opportunities for children’s creativity. Our expert staff design and implement age-appropriate programming that promotes self-esteem, self confidence, self-help skills and independence. We provide opportunities to strengthen social skills, for children to make choices, and gentle encouragement to children to resolve their own conflicts. At Trillium, children are actively involved in directing the programming, creating a fun, cooperative atmosphere that is responsive to the ever-changing interests and needs of this age group.

Above all, children are given the opportunity to explore who they are in a safe, relaxed, healthy environment in which they are respected and admired for their individuality.

The children regularly enjoy special visitors to the centre in order to enhance the fun and learning already provided by our qualified and dedicated staff. In addition to daily outings, age-appropriate, well-supervised field trips are offered for extra fun and educational value.
