Children's Centre
Tumbler Ridge YMCA Child Care
As the largest not-for-profit provider of child care in Canada and with nearly 40 years of experience, YMCA BC offers high-quality child care programs for infants, toddlers, preschool and school aged children. We understand that families have many demands and we believe that every child deserves a safe place to grow, which is why we offer a variety of options to meet every family’s needs. We know that choosing child care is a big decision and that parents want to know that their child is safe and well cared for while having fun- that your child care is a place your child wants to go every day.We are committed to meeting the unique needs of each community we serve; we are here to meet the needs of the community of Tumbler Ridge through child care services.
Our highly trained School Age Leaders and Responsible Adults partner with parents to support each child’s development and provide families with the security of knowing their child is in a safe and nurturing environment during these formative years. The YMCA of Northern BC was awarded the 2014 Child Care Awards of Excellence by the Ministry of Children & Family Development for their outstanding work on behalf of children and families in Northern BC. YMCA Child Care is your child’s home away from home.
