Our Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR) program helps parents, child care workers, and child care providers alike get the support needed to help raise healthy and happy children.
We are pleased to offer various types of support for families searching for child care including:
- Child care referrals based on your family’s individual needs from our database of licensed family or group child care providers.
- Information and assistance regarding the provincial Affordable Child Care Benefit Program and Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative.
- Information about local community resources and programs, such as family drop-ins, public health nurses, early intervention programs and much more.
CCRR programs serve over 170 communities in BC, and YMCA SIBC is pleased to support families looking for care in the communities of Peachland, West Kelowna, Kelowna, and Lake Country.
