Tweedsmuir After School Studio features 24 child care spaces held in a kindergarten classroom and is open to kindergarten and grade one students. The program is a pilot project funded by the New Westminster Board of Education and is expected to start in September 2024.

The program team consists of highly qualified staff of two early childhood educators and one educational assistant. This lower child-to-staff ratio ensure each child’s individual needs are met.
