Childcare Programs

Spring 2024 Update

We do not anticipate having any spaces for any childcare spots (including out of school care) before September 2025. We will reach out in May 2024 with next steps for children who have a space at Harbourview Childcare Centre. 

Our waiting list for children under 3 (infants/toddlers) is extremely long and priority for these spaces goes to siblings of children in our other programs. These spaces are filled internally, with siblings of children in our other programs. As such we have closed our waiting list for these spaces.

We have filled our spaces for ages under three, and at Variety Daycare for the 2024/2025 year, and do not anticipate any additional spaces coming up at this time. Fall 2025 registration will begin in April 2025. After that, we will be offering out of school care spaces to children attending Tillicum or Hastings Schools as of September 2024.

While we wish we could reply to each of you individually, we simply can’t. Thank-you very much for your interest in Kiwassa’s childcare programs….and thank-you for your patience!

For more than 30 years, Kiwassa has been providing nurturing, stimulating and inclusive childcare programs that help children progress in their social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. Our programs support children’s natural sense of curiosity, knowledge and confidence. Our staff are trained and certified in Early Childhood Education and are committed to providing inclusive programs, with a focus on meeting the specific needs and interests of each individual child, and engaging in a responsive curriculum.

Our programs are licensed under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act and comply with the Provincial Child Care Licensing Regulations. We have been approved for the provincial Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative from April 2020–March 2021, which reduces fees for children in Kindergarten and younger. Assistance with the Affordable Child Care Benefit application for eligible families is available at each centre. To be added to our waiting list, please scroll down and enter your information. Once you have done that, you will officially be on our waiting list and we will contact you as soon as we may have an opening for your child.

We typically have many openings in September and very few throughout the rest of the year. Our waiting list for children under three is currently exceptionally long, and openings for this age group are very rare, with priority going to siblings of children in other Kiwassa programs. If you would like your child to attend one of our programs in the future, please complete the form below, which will automatically add you to the waiting list.

When you submit the requested information below, your child has been automatically added to the waiting list. We will be sure to contact you as soon as there is an enrolment opportunity for your child.
