INSPIRED BY OUR LITTLE VILLAGE, BIG LAKE & SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS ✶

We are grateful to live, work, and raise our children on the beautiful traditional and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan people.

OUR VALUES

PLAY BASED LEARNING

We believe play is the foundation of learning; by creating a curious environment we encourage the children to explore and learn

INDEPENDENCE

We provide a safe and learning environment for the children to grow their self independence

COMMUNITY

It takes a village! We have a little village and a strong sense of community that we love to foster.

FRIENDSHIP BUILDING

Our main goal is to lead by example, so the children have the opportunity to learn how to be empathetic, inclusive and build meaningful relationships

About

The Naramata Childcare Society building with a beige exterior, located behind a fenced playground and parking lot, with trees and a partly cloudy sky in the background.

Naramata Childcare Society located in Naramata, BC. Established in 1981.

 We are a licensed not for profit childcare center and eligible for CCOF and ACCB. We have a daycare program and a before and after school program.  We are run by a parent board of directors. 

Our Philosophy

An indoor classroom with children's tables and chairs, colourful decorations, and a play area with artificial grass.

At the Naramata Childcare Society, we nurture our kids' curious minds and kind hearts through child-led play-based learning, positive reinforcement and role-modelling. 

We embrace each child’s uniqueness and support them to grow & learn in their own style.

Naramata Childcare Society is a safe, calm learning environment that provides opportunities to promote each child’s independence, social skills and problem solving. 

Our learning style is child-led. We incorporate an emergent curriculum, this means we base our daily learning activities on the interests, needs and experiences of the children.
