Before and after school care at Pear Tree School Vancouver

How It Works

Flexible Care.
No Commitment Required.

Most care programs lock you into a weekly contract. Pear Tree’s is different. Register for any day, any combination, whenever you need it. Morning, afternoon, or both.

Your child stays in the same building with the same staff they already know. There’s no drop-off at a different facility, no new faces to adjust to. It’s just an extended version of the school day — calm, supervised, and familiar.

Before School & After School

Two programs. One familiar place. Register for either or both.

🌞

Before School Care

7:30 – 8:00 am · $15 / day

Staff welcome students from 7:30 am. The morning is calm and unhurried — a smooth, low-stress transition into the school day. No scrambled drop-off. No rushing.

🏠

After School Care

3:30 – 5:00 pm · $30 / day

Students relax, do homework, have a kitchen snack, and wind down in familiar surroundings. Supervised by school staff in the same building. Pickup anytime up to 5:00 pm.

🎭

Co-Curricular Bridge

Included at no extra charge

Students enrolled in a 4:00 pm co-curricular club are automatically covered by after school care from 3:30 pm. No double-booking required.

📅

Day-by-Day Registration

No weekly minimums

Register for exactly the days you need. One day this week, three days next week — it’s up to you. Contact the office to adjust your schedule any time.

What Your Child’s Day Looks Like

The care program is built around one principle: your child should feel like they’re still at school, not parked somewhere waiting to go home.

Supervised homework time
Kitchen snack (after school)
Free reading and quiet activities
Outdoor time when weather permits
Familiar school staff
Same building — no new location
Flexible Since 2016

Before and after school care has been part of Pear Tree’s offering from the beginning. Parents told us they needed reliable, familiar care without a rigid weekly commitment — so that’s what we built.

The program is staffed by school employees who know your child by name. It’s not outsourced, not contracted out, and not run by someone who doesn’t know your family.
