Burlington school dismissal times
Burlington schools do not share one bell. On the Halton District School Board list, elementary dismissal runs from 2:50 at Mohawk Gardens to 4:00 at Kilbride, a spread of 70 minutes.
In the Orchard, three schools sit on Sutton Drive. Alexander’s and John William Boich ring at 3:35, and St. Christopher ends its day at 3:10. A route that starts at the 3:10 bell and finishes with the 3:35 schools reaches a program on Appleby Line by about 4:10.
The busiest bell is 3:15. When a program draws from several schools on the same bell, the route plan splits them between two vehicles or two runs.
The table covers 28 Burlington elementary schools. Find yours, then look at the rows just above and below it. Schools that ring within 20 minutes of each other can share a route when they are also close on the map.
| Bell | Schools |
|---|---|
| 2:50 | Mohawk Gardens |
| 3:00 | Alton Village |
| 3:05 | Bruce T. Lindley |
| 3:10 | Brant Hills, Sir E. MacMillan, St. Christopher (Catholic) |
| 3:15 | Central, Dr. Charles Best, Kings Road, Lakeshore, Pauline Johnson, Rolling Meadows |
| 3:20 | Pineland |
| 3:25 | Florence Meares, Paul A. Fisher, Tecumseh |
| 3:35 | Alexander's, C.H. Norton, John William Boich, Maplehurst, Orchard Park |
| 3:40 | John T. Tuck, Tom Thomson |
| 3:45 | Charles R. Beaudoin, Clarksdale, Frontenac |
| 3:55 | Glenview |
| 4:00 | Kilbride |

After-school programs in Burlington, by area
Most Burlington programs sit in plazas and business parks, not beside schools. Code Ninjas Burlington and Seeds of Leadership are on Mainway. KidStrong Burlington is on Upper Middle Road. Black Belt World and Dragon Taekwondo Academy are on South Service Road, and DCR Tae Kwon Do Academy is on Harvester Road.
The schools are in the neighbourhoods on either side of those roads, often 2 to 3 km away. A parent at work cannot cover that gap at 3:30. A program route does.
Our November 2026 Google Maps search returned 83 listings in Burlington: 48 under after-school programs, 26 tutoring centres and 9 STEM, robotics and coding classes.
Programs are named as landmarks only. We have no affiliation with them.
After-school shuttle service in Burlington
These routes use real bell times. Pickup follows each bell by a few minutes, so students have time to reach the vehicle. Your own route is planned from your schools and your address.
Orchard route
St. Christopher at 3:10, then Alexander’s and John William Boich at 3:35, all on Sutton Drive. At a program on Appleby Line by about 4:10.
Millcroft and Headon route
Florence Meares at 3:25, then Charles R. Beaudoin at 3:45. At your door by about 4:10.
Brant Hills route
Brant Hills at 3:10, then C.H. Norton at 3:35. At your door by about 3:55.
South-east Burlington, two runs
Mohawk Gardens at 2:50, at your door by about 3:10. The vehicle goes back for Pineland at 3:20 and Frontenac at 3:45, and arrives by about 4:10.
School pickup and drop-off at Burlington schools
Elementary schools release students only to an adult a parent has named. Before the first day, each parent tells the school office that your program’s driver is collecting their child, and you give us the list of children by school.
Ask each school which door your students should use and where a private vehicle may stop. We write both into the route plan, so the driver is at the same spot every day.
One driver is assigned to your route. Share the driver’s details with parents so they can add them at the school office.
On Halton District School Board early-dismissal days, schools let out 90 minutes early. Send us those dates and the pickup moves 90 minutes earlier too.
Sharing an after-school shuttle in Burlington
Two programs on Appleby Line, or two units in the same Mainway plaza, can split one 14-seat Sprinter. A STEM program with 8 students and a robotics program with 6 fill every seat.
Split evenly by seat, 14 children bring the cost to about $32 each per run. With 8 children riding alone it is about $56. Each program is invoiced for its own seats.
Three Burlington schools, one 3:35 bell
Orchard Park, Alexander’s and John William Boich all ring at 3:35. One vehicle cannot be at three doors at the same minute, so the order matters.
Alexander’s and John William Boich are both on Sutton Drive, and Orchard Park is on Dryden Avenue nearby. The driver loads the first school at the bell and reaches the last one about 10 to 15 minutes later. Ask each school where your students should wait until the driver arrives, and tell the office who is collecting them.
C.H. Norton in Brant Hills rings at 3:35 as well, but it is on the other side of Burlington. A program drawing from the Orchard and from Brant Hills needs two vehicles, or one Sprinter and one SUV.
Van service for Burlington programs
Ten students in one Sprinter is a common starting point. The rate per run is from approximately $450, so each seat costs about $45 a run before HST and gratuity.
On a 3-day week that is about $135 per child per week, or about $540 per child over a four-week month. Fill the other four seats, alone or with a nearby program, and the same month costs about $386 per child.
A Burlington program with 6 students or fewer can start in an SUV instead, from approximately $180 a run plus HST and gratuity.
All figures are approximate. Your written quote is the firm number.
Small Burlington groups: an SUV is enough
A new program rarely fills 14 seats in its first month. With 6 students or fewer and no adult riding along, an SUV does the route from approximately $180 per afternoon run, about $30 per child with all 6 seats used.
When enrolment passes 6, the route moves up to a Sprinter. Plans run by the month, so the change happens at the next month’s booking and the stop order stays the same.
School pickup for Burlington daycare and tutoring
Tutoring centres
Oxford Learning has three Burlington centres and Kumon has several more. Tutoring sessions usually start at 4:00 or later, so a 3:35 pickup in the Orchard fits without changing your timetable.
STEM, robotics and coding
Code Ninjas Burlington, E-Bots Robotics and Steamoji Burlington run small classes. An SUV for up to 6 children often covers a first cohort from one or two schools.
Martial arts and sports
Black Belt World, OMAC Martial Arts and DCR Tae Kwon Do Academy offer after-school programs. If your own van is full or one school is off its loop, we run that school as a second route.
Arts and child care
Art For Life 4 Kids, Zorbit Sports and Burlington’s child care centres draw from schools across the city. A route helps when a school is beyond walking distance.
Burlington after-school programs with pickup
Who is driving my child?
One driver is assigned to your route. Give parents the driver’s first name and the vehicle description from your route plan.
Does my child need a booster seat?
In Ontario a child under 8 who weighs 18 to 36 kg and is under 145 cm rides in a booster. Tell us how many of your students are under 8 and we plan their seating with your route.
What if my child is not at the pickup spot?
Agree a rule before the first day: how long the vehicle waits and who the driver calls. We write it into the route plan so every parent hears the same answer.
What about early dismissal and snow days?
School boards announce both. Send us the date and we move the pickup earlier or take the day off the plan.
After-school pickup service cost in Burlington
A four-week month has 4 of each weekday. Multiply the rate per run by the days you run.
| Days a week | Sprinter, per week | Sprinter, 4 weeks | Per child, 4 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 days | $900 | $3,600 | about $257 |
| 3 days | $1,350 | $5,400 | about $386 |
| 5 days | $2,250 | $9,000 | about $643 |
Per-child figures assume 14 children. All figures are approximate and before HST and gratuity. Your written quote is the firm number.
An SUV, from approximately $180 a run plus HST and gratuity, comes to $360, $540 or $900 a week for 2, 3 or 5 days.
Start Burlington after-school transportation
- You send the form. School names, bell times, days and your address are enough.
- We send a route plan: the stop order, the pickup time at each school, the arrival time at your door and the vehicle, with the written quote.
- You confirm the plan and pay the first and last week. Your program collects a signed consent from each family and gives us the list of children by school.
- You tell each school office who is collecting your students. Schools release children only to people a parent has named, so this step belongs to you and the parents.
- We assign the driver and brief them on each school’s pickup spot and your door.
- On the first service day the driver works from your list at every school. After the first week we adjust the stop times if a bell runs late.
Burlington after-school transportation
Every Burlington route is planned from your schools’ bell times and your address. The plan names the stop order, the pickup time at each school, and the arrival time at your door.
Changes are simple. Add a school, a day or a second vehicle at the next month’s booking, and we reissue the route plan.
Every service day uses the same type of vehicle. Your rate per run covers the vehicle and the driver for the pickup window in your plan, and nothing starts until you have the price in writing.
- One driver assigned to your route and briefed on your schools and your door
- A 14-seat Mercedes Sprinter, an SUV for up to 6 children, or a sedan for a private ride
- One invoice to the program each month, not to parents
- Seating for younger children planned with your route
- Commercial insurance, with the certificate on request
- One driver assigned to your route
Programs in more than one town can see all five on our main after-school program transportation page. Booking for your own child instead? See our driver for kids in Burlington page.

Which Burlington schools can one route cover?
2 to 3 schools within about 3 km of each other. In the Orchard, Alexander’s, John William Boich and St. Christopher are all on Sutton Drive, which makes a compact route to a program on Appleby Line.
Three of our schools ring at 3:35. Can one vehicle collect them all?
Yes, when the 3 schools are close together. The driver loads the first school at the bell and reaches the last about 10 to 15 minutes later. Schools on opposite sides of Burlington with the same bell need a second vehicle.
Which Burlington school lets out last?
Kilbride at 4:00, followed by Glenview at 3:55. Charles R. Beaudoin, Clarksdale and Frontenac ring at 3:45. A program that starts at 4:15 should plan those schools as the last stop.
Can two Burlington programs share one Sprinter?
Yes, two programs can share one 14-seat Sprinter. Programs on the same road, such as Appleby Line or Mainway, share most easily. Each is invoiced for its own seats.
Do you cover Aldershot, Alton Village and Millcroft?
All of Burlington, from Aldershot to Alton Village. One route covers 2 to 3 schools that are close to each other, so a program drawing from both ends of the city may need two routes.
Can a Burlington route include an Oakville school?
Yes, when the 2 schools are close to each other and the bell times allow it. Send both school names and we check the timing in the route plan.
Can you take Burlington children home after our program ends?
Yes, as a second run at the time you set, for example 5:30. Tell us the leave time and how many children ride home, and we quote it with the route.
How much does after-school program transportation cost in Burlington?
From approximately $450 per afternoon run for a 14-seat Sprinter, $180 for an SUV and $160 for a sedan, plus HST and gratuity. It can be higher for a longer itinerary.
What does it cost per child in Burlington?
About $32 per child per run with 14 children in a Sprinter and about $56 with 8. In an SUV with 6 children it is about $30 each. All before HST and gratuity.
What does a month of school pickup cost in Burlington?
About $3,600 for a Sprinter 2 days a week over 4 weeks, $5,400 for 3 days and $9,000 for 5 days, before HST and gratuity. With 14 children that is about $257, $386 or $643 per child for the month.
How many after-school programs are there in Burlington?
83 listings in our November 2026 Google Maps search: 48 under after-school programs, 26 tutoring centres and 9 STEM, robotics and coding classes. Some run their own pickup and most do not.
Do you pick up from private and Catholic schools in Burlington?
Yes, from any school in the town. Private and Catholic schools keep their own timetables, so give us each school’s dismissal time on the form and we plan the stop order from it.
Which Burlington bell is shared by the most schools?
3:15 is the busiest bell on the list, shared by 6 Burlington schools: Central, Dr. Charles Best, Kings Road, Lakeshore, Pauline Johnson, Rolling Meadows. One vehicle cannot be at all of them at once, so a route takes the two or three that sit close together.
How soon can a Burlington route start?
About 2 weeks after you confirm the plan. That covers the route plan, the vehicle and the driver’s briefing on your schools and your door.
Is there a minimum commitment for a Burlington route?
The minimum is 1 month. The plan is booked by the program for the month, on the school days you choose.
How is a Burlington program billed?
One invoice goes to the program, and parents get none. The first and last week are paid before the route starts, and each week after that is paid one week ahead.
What happens if a child is absent?
The rate per run stays the same, because the price is per vehicle and not per child. Tell us before pickup so the driver does not wait at that school.
What about PA days and early dismissal?
You are not charged for days you leave out when you book the month. Send us the Halton District School Board early-dismissal dates for your schools and we move those pickups earlier.
How many children fit in one vehicle?
14 in a Sprinter, up to 6 in an SUV when no adult rides along, and 1 or 2 in a sedan. Larger groups ride in a second vehicle.
Who receives the children at our door?
A named adult at your program receives the children at every drop-off. A staff member can also ride along if you prefer.
What about children who need a booster seat?
In Ontario a child under 8 who weighs 18 to 36 kg and is under 145 cm needs a booster seat. Tell us how many of your students are under 8 and we plan their seating with your route.
Are you insured to drive children for a program?
Yes. Every vehicle on a program route carries commercial insurance. Ask for the certificate with your written quote.
What do you need to plan a Burlington route?
We need 5 things: the school names, the bell time at each, how many students come from each school, the days, and your program’s address.
