YMCA Child Care in Penticton

The YMCA of Southern Interior BC delivers child care services to the South Okanagan with our centre at Queen’s Park Elementary School in Penticton, BC. With 59 spaces for children 6 weeks of age to 12 years old, this centre offers infant care, preschool, 3–5 child care, before and after school care and provides day camps during spring break, summer and Pro-D Days.

We are proud to announce that Queen's Park YMCA Child Care is officially a $10 a Day ChildCareBC Centre. These sites test and evaluate funding and operational models that will help move British Columbia towards a universal child care system.

Programs offered at this centre:

The Y’s approach to child care is unique. We believe that ensuring a sound basis for healthy child development and success begins with play, and our child care programs give children exactly that — space to run, dance, jump and explore.

As western Canada’s largest licensed child care provider, the YMCA has been building and operating high-quality child care spaces for decades. Every program provides children with the opportunity to be active, make friends, have fun and develop confidence.

Furthermore, the health and safety of kids in our care is our top priority. All staff are trained in YMCA Child Protection standards that far surpass licensing regulations.

And finally, what makes the Y truly stand out is that we are a charity that believes financial circumstances shouldn't stand in the way of receiving quality care for your child. As a charity, the YMCA of Southern Interior BC has always provided financial assistance to those in need. In addition, with new government supports in place, child care is becoming more affordable.

At the YMCA, we are helping BC parents raise healthy, resilient children.
