Royal View After School

About Royal View After School

Royal View After School is a community organization located on Clarke Rd in the Nelson Park neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The program serves local families by providing a play-based, child-led environment for children in JK through Grade 6, though it welcomes children from any grade. It operates in partnership with a local neighbourhood school to provide a safe space where children can feel valued and supported. The program offers a variety of activities designed to promote physical and emotional well-being, including organized sports, outdoor free play, crafts, STEM projects, and movie days. Children are encouraged to take the lead in choosing their own adventures at various play stations. The curriculum also incorporates life skills such as healthy eating, hygiene, and building positive relationships. The organization emphasizes physical activity and outdoor play whenever weather and space permit. The program is led by Director Rebecca Ellis and assistant Jasmine. It describes itself as an inclusive and accessible initiative that functions as a second home for the children involved. The program is specifically designed to run five days a week during the school year, with older children in Grade 6 and up having the opportunity to take on leader in training roles to help younger participants.
