Child playing on a beach

Inclusive Licensed Group Child Care for children ages 30 months to five years. 
 

G.R. Pearkes Child Care Program is excited to announce that we are now a $10 a Day Centre! 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the BC Provincial Government and the ChildCareBC Program for making this possible.

Every child deserves a safe, welcoming space to learn and grow — regardless of background, ability, or identity. Our program is committed to inclusion ensuring that all families feel supported and valued.

Based on a philosophy of “learning through play” our classrooms provide unique and rich experiences for all children.  Our spacious outdoor playground and nearby beach offer a wonderful opportunity to explore nature just outside our door.

Fully qualified Early Childhood Educators create and provide a variety of activities designed to promote social, emotional, cognitive, physical and creative growth.

Full time spaces are available in our program for September 2025.

We look forward to sharing this exciting new learning experience with your child.
