We are a registered charitable not for profit society, and licensed childcare organization that has been offering programs and services to meet individual childcare needs since 1971. We believe that children learn through play. By providing a variety of learning centers and activities for your child to participate in and explore, we are promoting learning through play and interaction with others.
Play is the foundation of learning for young children. Our goal is to provide care, support and activities to develop each child's individual independence and personal growth.

Alberni Valley Childcare Society is a not for profit organization managed by a volunteer Board of Directors from our community. All members have an interest in quality childcare and devote many hours, as well as their own personal skills to ensure that children attending receive the best possible care.
We believe infants and toddlers learn through play and support this is in our programs. We have primary care givers who establish a close and nurturing relationship with your child. To ensure a sense of trust and security we plan our program activities and routines so that there is a regular day to day pattern.
We provide care, support and activities to develop each child's individual independence and personal growth. Children are building on preschool skills in a daycare environment. Each centre has spacious rooms, fully equipped programs and universal playgrounds. At Stepping Stones, children can also access a large indoor gym space.
Our programs provide unlimited possibilities to construct, create, imagine and discover in a safe and nurturing environment. Children participate in a take home reading program and are building a foundation to become active life long learners. Special outings are part of our monthly program. A nutritious snack is provided.
There is a registration fee for all of our childcare and preschool programs. All of our programs also accept Childcare Subsidy. For more information contact the Ministry of Children and Family Development at 4090 8th Avenue. We can provide you with forms to take with you.
