Childcare Services

"I recommend the Cridge Centre to everyone." This is how one parent of a busy 4-year old summed up her view of our childcare services. "The centre adds so much to our lives."
Choosing childcare can be a very big decision. All of our childcare services welcome the opportunity to serve children with diverse and supported care needs. While each program offers care to different age groups, they all offer an environment that is safe, stimulating, nurturing and responsive to every child. At the Cridge Centre for the Family you will also discover devoted care within a Christian envionment.
**Note: In response to the recent influenza scares, The Cridge Childcare Services has increased the frequency of handwashing (children and staff included) and level of cleaning throughout the centre. Please help us combat illness by using the wall-mounted hand sanitizer as soon as you enter the building. More information on how to keep your family healthy.
The Cridge Childcare Services includes programs for:
- Under 3's Childcare
- Three-to-Five Childcare
- Morning Preschool
- School Age Care (K - Grade 7)
- Sunfun Summer Day Camp
- We also host the wonderful Elizabeth Buckley Elementary School for children with diverse abilities
The Cridge Childcare Centre comprises 16,400 square feet of space built on three levels and connects onto a series of playgrounds built for adventure and exploration surrounded by a Garry Oak Meadow. In total our childcare programs accommodate more than 180 children. In 2009, The Cridge Childcare Centre received the BC Child Care Legacy Award for 40 years of service to the community.
