Rides to and from school
We handle the kindergarten run so you don't have to leave work mid-day.
4 – 6 years
Kindergarten, sorted. Before, after and in between.
Half-day kindergarten leaves a gap that's hard to fill around a work day. We fill it: care before and after kindergarten, and we drive your child to and from school.

Check kindergarten availabilityWhich schools do you drive to?
We provide transportation to and from school. Tell us your child's school when you check availability and we'll confirm whether it's on our route.
Is there funding for kindergarten-age care?
Kindergarten-age children who attend daycare during school hours can be covered by Alberta's flat parent fee at funded centres. Children in full-time kindergarten may qualify for the Child Care Subsidy instead. See fees & subsidies.
