MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Our doors are open, your support still makes a difference.

Grants, funding and donations of time and goods are critical to making our dollars stretch so we can create a sustainable high quality childcare experience, AND value our incredible educators through livable wages, benefits and a positive work environment. 

To access the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative to benefit families and the Wage Enhancement for our team, our fees must not exceed a region-wide fee-cap. These caps are set based on historical averages, and do not factor in a specific community's high-cost of living for example. The Kootenays has one of the lowest caps on average across the province.

We'd love to hear from you.
