MFRC Creative Learning for the Early Years

(Previously Casual Child Care)

Designed for children 5 years and younger, this program will promote early years learning. Creative Learning offers a semi-structured environment with a variety of activities and materials that give young children the opportunity to grow creatively. The program will help children develop a sense of independence, self-concept and self-esteem in the care of nurturing, professional childcare workers. This is a licensed program and registering for this program will also give you a few hours of respite to get things done without your "little helper." 

Take the time to de-stress yourself!  Punch cards are available. Please pay at the front desk at the CPAC MFRC prior to entering the program. Call 250-363-2674 to book a spot. Spots can be booked up to 1 week in advance.
