Spare Time Child Care Society - Spare Time Bobolink

We are a non-profit child care organization that offers quality affordable before and after school care for children attending David Oppenheimer Elementary School. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun environment that encourages and challenges children to try new things.

Spare Time began as a non-profit, school-age child care centre at David Lloyd George Elementary School back in 1974. In the years that followed, the need for high quality, affordable school-age child care grew steadily in Vancouver and Spare Time grew to match the demand and opened additional centres around the city.

Each day, children at Spare Time Bobolink may choose from a selection of programs and activities. Our programs include homework club, arts & craft projects, organized cooperative games & sports, free play and educational workshops. During free play, we offer a variety of board games, outdoor time and age-appropriate activities. We also have designated areas for a library, video games/computers and more!

The centre is open 7:30 am - 6:00 pm on all non-instructional days. Lunch and snacks will be provided on these days. Exciting Winter Break, Spring Break and Summer Holiday programs are offered and a separate schedule will be available. There will be an extra charge for these programs. It is the parents responsibility to inform the centre if their child will be absent.
