After The Bell Childcare Centre
Welcome to After The Bell, a Nova Scotia-certified childcare centre conveniently located in the hearts of Oxford Street and Cole Harbour. Our beautiful, spacious facilities offer premier programming for children aged 18 months to 12 years. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality care for families living or working in Halifax, Dartmouth, and Cole Harbour. By joining After The Bell, your child becomes part of a nurturing community that fosters character development and diverse learning experiences to ensure their future academic and social success.
We provide a warm,
Nova Scotia-certified after-school space where children
can feel safe, seen, and supported every day.
After The Bell is home to two unique centres: our Oxford Street location offers a warm, full-day childcare program for toddlers and preschoolers, while our Cole Harbour centre focuses on engaging school-age
programs. Together, they give children the right care and learning experiences for their age and stage.
Through playful, hands-on adventures and caring guidance, we spark children’s curiosity and give every child a warm, confident start in life.
Philosophy
We value active play both inside and out.
Our campus features inviting spaces for imagination, including role-play corners, building blocks, and creative arts for emotional well-being.
To keep the atmosphere joyful, children participate in daily reading and singing circles together.
Mission and Statement
Building key assets in children today so that they turn into healthy and happy adults of tomorrow.
