Our Name
Shaughnessy Point Grey Out of School Care Society, affectionately
known as SPG.
Our Centre
SPG is located in the
activity room of Quilchena Elementary school in the Kerrisdale neighborhood of
Vancouver. This has been our home base since the society's incorporation in
September 1977. We are proud to be a non-profit, parent-run organization meeting
the needs of Quilchena Elementary School students and their families.
Our Philosophy
Our goal is to
provide professional care, tending to the needs of each child for encouragement
and guidance. We aim to make it possible, through the environment we create and the
program we implement, for children to become more aware of their own self-worth
and more responsible for their actions.
Our program runs
Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. twelve months a year (excluding
statutory holidays), serves more than 60 families from all parts of the
community and promotes the cultural and artistic development of youth.
Through our recreational program, we attempt to build skills and
confidence within all individuals and offer opportunities to expand their
horizons.
