Are you looking for an after school program for your child?

Our after-school program is for students in grades K to 5.

Ernie's Happy Hangout starts as your child’s school day wraps-up. Our friends will arrive after their designated school dismissal.

On Wednesday’s our Fredericton friends will arrive after early dismissal, and Friday’s are for our Oromocto friends.

Ernie's happy hangout is all about learning through play! We incorporate the foundations of core subjects into activities and provide opportunities while supporting the children in interactive play with their peers. Activities include crafts, games, outings, and more! Our unique, fun, and inclusive, programming is offered simultaneously with the school calendar. Ernie's Happy Hangout starts on the first day of school and runs until the 3rd week of June. This program follows the public school schedule and will not be held on March break, Christmas break, PD or snow days.

The goal of this program is to provide a safe, inclusive space to further your child’s/children’s social skills, sharing abilities, create friendships, and much more. Our mission is to provide an after-school program where parents can relax knowing their children are happy, having fun, meeting new people and growing individually through naturalistic teaching and peer interaction. While the program will not be based on a 1-1 ratio, individual 1:1 supports are available to best support our friends that need the extra assistance with their unique needs. The program is located at Autism Connections, 1666 Lincoln Road.
