TOPP KIDS at
McKenzie Lake School
Before school, after school, and every day off in between. A close knit, high energy club right inside your school.
A close knit, high energy family
TOPP KIDS Out Of School Club at McKenzie Lake School is a joyful, quirky, and adventure-filled club where fun, nature, and family connection come together. Known for our big energy and even bigger smiles, this program is a place where kids can be themselves, try new things, and celebrate what makes them unique.
Guided by our PLAY, GROW, LAUGH & LEARN philosophy, our programming is emergent and child-led, shaped by children’s interests, curiosity, and sense of fun. One day might include forest exploration and outdoor learning in the on-site woods, while another could end with a legendary glow-in-the-dark dance party—and that balance is exactly what makes McKenzie Lake special.

HumilityMeet our Program Coordinator
Megan has worked with children for over eight years across a wide range of child care roles: preschool teacher, behavioural aid, educational assistant, active play coordinator, room lead, summer camp coordinator, tutor, program coordinator, and private respite care worker. She has been part of the TOPP KIDS family for more than five years and is delighted to be back as Program Coordinator at McKenzie Lake, where her focus is building a wealth of community, growth, and fun. You can usually find her smiling, dancing, singing, and enjoying her time with the kiddos.
Meet our team of educators
Every kiddo here is known by a group of educators who show up for them daily. We do not call them staff. We call them our Family Members, and they are the reason families stay with us for years.

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.

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.
