This 99-space, multi-age child care centre is licensed for children 0–12 years old including infant toddler care, 3–5 care, preschool, before and after school care, and camps. With an urgent need for child care throughout the Okanagan Valley, these additional child care spaces allow for more families to access quality care for their young ones.
Programs offered at this centre:
Preschool & Part-Time Care
Through hands-on activities and engaging play-based learning experiences, children ages 3–5 will develop essential school-readiness and social-emotional skills that pave the way for lifelong success in part-time care at the Y.
Full-Day Child Care
Safe, affordable, full-day child care is available for infants, toddlers, and children up to age 5. Your child will feel valued, welcome, and at home as they play, learn, and make friends.
Before & After School Care
Children aged 5–12 stay happy, nourished, active, and engaged before and after school with healthy snacks, outdoor play, homework time, field trips, social skill-building games, arts, crafts, and more.
Day Camps
Our licensed YMCA Child Care camps are a home away from home. Your child can be a part of our inclusive community where they can have fun, find support, make friends and reach their full potential.
The Y’s approach to child care is unique. We believe that ensuring a sound basis for healthy child development and success begins with play, and our child care programs give children exactly that — space to run, dance, jump and explore.
As western Canada’s largest licensed child care provider, the YMCA has been building and operating high-quality child care spaces for decades. Every program provides children with the opportunity to be active, make friends, have fun and develop confidence.
The health and safety of kids in our care is our top priority. All staff are trained in YMCA Child Protection standards that far surpass licensing regulations.
What makes the Y truly stand out is that we are a charity that believes financial circumstances shouldn't stand in the way of receiving quality care for your child. As a charity, the YMCA of Southern Interior BC has always provided financial assistance to those in need. In addition, with new government supports in place, child care is becoming more affordable.
At the YMCA, we are helping BC parents raise healthy, resilient children.
