Our program

A close knit, high energy family

TOPP KIDS Out Of School Club at Bayside School is a heart-centred, community-focused club where kindness, connection, and growth guide everything we do. Our program is intentionally designed to help children develop not just skills—but character—so they grow into caring, confident, and responsible people.

Guided by our PLAY, GROW, LAUGH & LEARN philosophy, our programming is emergent and relationship-based, shaped by children’s interests and the values of the Bayside community. Through creative projects, S.T.R.E.A.M. experiences, service-inspired activities, Kids Clubs, and meaningful play, children learn how their actions impact others and the world around them.

From our families

What families say

The care and attention this team gives is unparalleled. My son has grown immensely in the two years he has been a part of the program. TOPP KIDS puts the children first and do everything they can to make sure that the children feel included, important, and special individuals. So much love for the TOPP KIDS team!!

A TOPP KIDS family

TOPP KIDS is a blessing. All their staff are a pleasure to deal with. My son has had a fabulous time this year and is already hoping to be able to do it again next year.

A TOPP KIDS family

I truly wish I had discovered this fabulous service earlier. My daughter is incredibly excited each and every day she goes to TOPP KIDS and is even disappointed when it’s a holiday and she doesn’t get to go. All of the staff are very friendly and tremendously helpful. It is a joy knowing that I’m able to leave my child in the care of this great group of people.
