Located North of London in the town of Ilderton, our Oxbow Schoolage Program is located in the rural setting of the Oxbow Public School, an elementary school of the Thames Valley District School Board. This location surrounded by countryside provides before and after school programs for children 3.8 – 12 years.

Our indoor and outdoor environments invite school age children to safely learn through play and exploration, build on their strengths and develop and nurture friendships. Our children at Oxbow are very adventurous and love their outdoor time and our educators provide lots of opportunities for healthy physical activity before and after a busy school day. Our educators provide a wealth of real and natural materials in our programs which engage the children’s creativity and support their interests. Healthy snacks are served before and after school.

We provide inclusive environments that welcome families and invite them to participate as they feel comfortable. Ongoing communication between educators and families supports the well-being of the children and gives families a sense of belonging. Communication takes many forms in order to support the diverse needs of families. Storypark, a web-based interactive communication tool, gives educators and families the opportunity to share in the children’s learning & daily experiences and the Storypark app is used to provide timely information to families such as inclement weather closures.
