Construction is now completed on a new child care centre on the North Shore.
On Monday, BC’s Ministry of Education and Child Care announced that 72 new child care spaces were now open at the former site of Happyvale Elementary School.
The centre will provide care for children up to the age of five years old.
The project was first announced late December along with the announcement of 72 spaces at Ralph Bell Elementary in Valleyview.
“This new child care centre in Kamloops will be life-changing for families so children can get rich early learning experiences as well as helping meet community needs,” said Mitzi Dean, Minister of State for Child Care.
“Access to reliable, quality and inclusive care is so important for children to thrive.”
The province, with federal government support, has partnered with School District 73 (SD73) to build the child care centre on the grounds of the former Happyvale school, now the Twin Rivers Learning Centre, through $2.8 million from the ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund.
