Are all of your facilities licensed?
Yes! All of our facilities are licensed by the Vancouver Island Health Authority.
Can I drop in at any time?
Yes! We just need to make sure we have: your child/ren's information on our registration form, a picture of your child/ren and a copy of your child/ren's immunization records, and make sure spaces are available. Then you are ready to start!
Do you accept Childcare Subsidy?
Yes! All you have to do is fill out a Childcare Subsidy
Application Form. |
Or, you can go to the Ministry of Child and Development website

What happens if my child has a snow day?
Unfortunately, we have a snow day too; Because we are located in the schools we are unable to get into them when they are locked. We feel if it is unsafe for the schools to be open then it is unsafe for our staff to be on the roads as well. Parents shall be informed through local radio stations (102.3 The Wave and 106.9 The Wolf) by 7:00am.
Do you offer a discount for more than one child?
Yes we do! We offer a 10% discount for families!
Do you offer a quiet space for homework, or when my child falls ill?
You bet!! We encourage children to finish their homework with us! At many facilities we have qualified teachers, and people with excellent qualifications to help!
How does your pro-rated monthly fee work?
We have done this to make it easier for you and for us! For example: early dismissals on Monday's, parent teacher interview week, and partial non-instructional days, are not charged, which would create extra costs.
I work shift work, are you flexible?
Absolutely! As long as you provide us with a monthly schedule we can make it work!
Do you use the 15 passenger vans?
No, we are located directly in the schools, so no transportation is necessary. However, on non-instructional days we do have a school bus! So its just like going on a field trip at school! We also require that all parents fill out a transportation permission form before your child is to travel on the bus.
What if I am late for pickup?
All we ask is that you call us! We know sometimes it can't be helped. Please remember that our licensed times are only from 7:30-5:30, and that our staff have their own families, and commitments. There are late pickup fees that are applied if you cannot make it on time.
