Community Focused
At NELCCC, we are committed to providing high quality care for the children and families in the Nakusp and surrounding communities from infancy through to age 12, in a safe and enriching learning environment that fosters positive and supportive relationships and a sense of belonging. We recognize that learning is both an individual and social process and our Centre will provide inclusive programming that will support all children and their families, encouraging children to be unique, strong, and resilient, to grow at their own pace and to develop to their full potential.
The Nakusp Early Learning Childcare Centre is a child-centered, parent-engaged, childcare hub located at Nakusp Elementary School and operated by School District 10 (Arrow Lakes). The Centre opened in Spring 2023. It was designed to operate up to two multi-age programs (0-5 years), 8 spaces each, an infant and toddler program for up to 8 children (0-36 months), and an after/before school childcare program, 24-30 spaces each (5-12 years).
The BC Early Learning Framework, First People’s Principles of Learning and evidence-informed early learning program pedagogies and goals, including a Reggio Emilia inspired approach, will be used to guide our programs to nurture the whole child.
