“Opening the new child care centre at Ralph Bell Elementary school in Valleyview is a significant step towards increasing the ability for Kamloops families to access affordable and high-quality child care,” said Heather Grieve, board chair, SD73.

This is the first child care centre developed on SD73 school grounds and will offer full-day child care to families with children five and under.

Another centre is currently under construction at Happyvale Elementary to support children and families in the North Shore and Brocklehurst neighbourhoods.

“These new spots are more than child care for families in need, they are the light at the end of a long tunnel,” said Emma Silver, manager, Inquiring Little Minds.

“They are a step toward ensuring a bright future with quality education for children of all ages.”
