Out of School Care

About our Programs

A licensed Out of School Care (OSC) program for children in grades K-6. BGC Cochrane & Area supports all schools in the Cochrane area. Children can walk, ride a bike, be dropped off or take the school bus to one of 2 locations. Children that attend Glenbow school that are in Kindergarten & grade 1 go to the Glenbow Club adjacent to Glenbow Elementary School. All other schools (and Glenbow grades 2-6) go to the 5th Avenue Club across the street from CIBC.

The OSC programs provide quality care in a safe and nurturing environment. Using a strengths based approach to seek out children's abilities, resources and gifts and support growth through opportunities to develop socially, physically, intellectually, creatively and emotionally. Professional, qualified staff facilitate a culture of fun, acceptance and positive self-regard and love to play too!!

Locations

We have two great locations: 5th Avenue Club & Glenbow Club

5th Avenue Club

Located across from CIBC on 5th Avenue, our 5th Avenue Club houses our Grade K-6 OSC Programs from schools across Cochrane and Summer Camps in July and August. OSC Programming is run on both levels of the Club with walkout access to the Lion's Club Rodeo Grounds, so our kids get lots of outdoor time (when the weather permits, of course!) We offer before care, kindercare, and after care from this location for all schools with the exception of some of our programs attending Glenbow school, which are run from our Glenbow location (see below).

Glenbow school grades 2-6 aftercare attend our 5th Ave location. Transportation options are available (see transportation page)

Glenbow Club
Located beside Glenbow School (on the south end) on Glenpatrick Drive, our Glenbow Club provides OSC for children from Glenbow school only. This includes Glenbow before care, Glenbow Kindercare and aftercare for grades K and 1. (After care for Glenbow grades 2-6 children are provided at our 5th Ave location)
