We’re excited to share that we currently have full-time spaces available for children aged 30 months to 5 years, starting December 1, 2025, following our facility upgrades.
If you’d like to learn more about our half-day or full-day programs, we warmly encourage you to call us at 250-585-8868 ext. 4 for a brief 5–10 minute conversation with our manager.
We completely understand that some newcomer families may feel more comfortable communicating in writing — so please feel free to email us anytime instead. Both ways are welcome!
Choosing the right daycare for your child takes care and thought.
Childcare isn’t a quick decision — it’s not about how fancy a website looks, but about the people, the environment, and the trust you build.
By speaking directly with us, you’ll immediately experience our professionalism, warmth, and reliability, which sets a strong foundation for your upcoming tour and registration process.
If you’d like to book a tour, please complete our Intake Form — it takes about 15 minutes. Click here to fill out the Intake Form
This not only helps us get to know your child and your expectations, but also gives our teachers a heads-up about what your child enjoys, what they’re currently working on, and where they thrive.
Once the form is received, our manager will email you to confirm the specific tour date.
Here’s what to expect on the day of your visit:
– Tours start at 8:45 AM. You and your child will enter the classroom and are invited to freely explore, play with toys, and engage with other children.
– Around 9:15 AM, we will tidy up and begin Circle Time, where you and your child are welcome to join in.
– At 9:45 AM, the children will transition to Snack Time. You are welcome to stay and bring a snack to share in this part of the routine.
– The tour may continue until about 10:15 AM. We kindly ask families to take their leave around that time, as our children begin preparing for their biggest transition of the day — getting ready to go outside!
This visit gives both you and your child a genuine sense of our daily rhythm and learning environment.
If you’re just exploring options and would like us to reach out to you, please complete the short inquiry form below.
Our administrative team will contact you as soon as possible to assist you personally.
