Guided Recreation and Opportunities to Wonder
"Not just care — a place to GROW!"
GROW is the Lloydminster Public School Division’s officially designated before-and-after-school program, thoughtfully created to support working families and help every child reach their full potential. We understand that families need dependable, high-quality care that fits their busy schedules, and children need a place where they feel safe, valued, and inspired. At GROW, we provide a consistent and caring environment where children from Kindergarten to Grade 5 (Grade 6 at College Park) can start and end their school days feeling secure, supported, and engaged. Our program goes beyond basic supervision by offering a dynamic blend of structured activities and open-ended play. From imaginative arts and crafts to cooperative games, STEM challenges, and quiet reading corners, every activity is designed to spark creativity, strengthen social skills, and encourage curiosity. We believe in nurturing the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Children are given opportunities to build confidence, explore their interests, and form meaningful connections with peers and positive adult role models. Through a balance of routine and choice, GROW helps children build independence, express themselves, and experience joy in their everyday moments. Whether families need early morning care, after-school supervision, or both, GROW provides a warm, inclusive, and enriching experience that supports children and gives parents peace of mind.
