Child Care 0-5

As the largest not-for-profit provider of child care in Canada and with nearly 40 years of experience, YMCA BC Offers high-quality child care programs for infants, toddles, preschool and school aged children. We understand that families have many demands and we believe that every child deserves a safe place to grow, which is why we offer a variety of options to meet every family's needs. WE know that choosing child care is a big decision and that parents want to know that their child is safe and well cared for while having fun - that your child care is a place your child wants to go every day. 

Our  highly trained Early Childhood Educators partner with parents to support each child's development and provide families with the security of knowing their child is in a safe and nurturing environment during these formative years. YMCA Child Care is your child's home away from home.

Early Learning and Care

YMCA Early Childhood Educators make play come alive with our YMCA Playing to Learn Curriculum in our infant and toddler care, group care and preschool programs. We want to be there every step of the way through your child's development, beginning with their most formative years. We know that the early years' seeds are fundamental in your child's future success. Our caring and experienced staff provide quality care to assure your child will learn, grow and thrive. 

**YMCA BC has applied to the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFI) to assist families with the cost of care. Therefore, we work at the fee benchmark set by the Province as part of the requirement. Below is the current cost of child care by age group, once the Child Care Fee Reduction has been applied. 

Families are welcome to join the ongoing waitlist.
