To provide licensed, quality childcare to the children of Rivers and surrounding areas.  The staff provide a nurturing, stimulating and social environment that allows children to question, explore and interact with their peers and their world.

We also strive to promote and maintain positive relationships with the staff and students of Rivers Collegiate and Elementary Schools, and offer opportunities for student involvement in our programs through work placement programs and employment opportunities.  Staff will work with elementary school teachers to create consistent routines and expectations between the Centre and classroom to ease the transition from one to the other.
