Wraparound (childcare)

Wraparound childcare is like having someone take care of you when your parents are not around. Think of it like this - if your parents have to go to work, school or for some urgent work, and you cannot come with them, you need someone to look after you, right?

Wraparound childcare provides you with that extra care you need during those hours of the day when your parents are busy. It's like having an extra adult who can pick you up from school, give you snacks, and help you with your homework until your parents come home.

During wraparound childcare, you can do lots of fun things, like play games, make new friends, read books, or learn new things. Usually, wraparound childcare takes place at a school, community center, or another safe and secure location.

Wraparound childcare is a great way to make sure that you are safe and cared for when your parents aren't available. It is an excellent way to have fun and play with friends, learn new things, and do cool activities while being supervised by responsible adults.
