This 99-space, multi-age child care centre is currently in the final construction phase with plans to open in August/September 2023. Stay tuned as we work toward our licensing and construction completions.
The waitlist is open for Preschool, Early Years Care (0–5), and Before and After School Care.
Programs to be offered at this centre:
Preschool
YMCA Preschool programs utilize our nationally-recognized YMCA Playing to Learn™ curriculum to ensure kindergarten readiness in a fun and educational setting.
Full Day Child Care
YMCA Child Care centres offer a fun, home-like setting and an educational and research-based YMCA Playing to Learn™ curriculum for children 0–5.
Before and After School Care
Our YMCA: A Place to Connect™ curriculum brings a standard, high-quality approach to before and after school care programs for children 5–12 years old.
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.
