Choosing quality child care for your family is a very important decision, but locating high-quality child care might be easier said than done these days. The key is knowing what to look for, as you want to find a safe, healthy environment that supports the social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional development of your child.
When researching child care centres, it may be helpful to ask for a copy of their Parent or Childcare Handbook so that you can review the policies and procedures that the centre follows and be aware of any guidelines that families and children are asked to follow. This way you can make a more informed decision about the child care centres that are a fit for your family.
A good staring point in your journey to finding quality, accessible child care is the Child Care Resource and Referral Centre located at the John Tod Y Centre in Kamloops. The CCRR can provide a list of local child care centres and information on what centres may have availability for your child depending on their age. Call them at 250-376-4771 or visit the CCRR website at https://www.kamloopsy.org/eycccrr.htm. *Please note: most child care centres in the Kamloops area have waitlists for open spaces, especially for infant/toddler spaces.

We received physiotherapy for our daughter who was being considered for a helmet for plagiocephaly. From our first appointment to our last, we received wonderful care. The staff at CTFRC were always very friendly, welcoming, and had a great spirit. The Physiotherapist was very kind, gentle and provided us with so much knowledge!
The outlet to have a professional available for help and advice and direction was key in our success, along with the tips, tools and education I received. They are so great at checking in and making sure I know there are supports, if necessary.
Having someone to talk me through the stages and calm my nerves about [my child's] development is what helped me the most. the sessions were always super informative and gave great advice on what to work on with [my child]. Just having the peace of mind that we were on the right track. I appreciate the service so much and I would recommend to any concerned parent!
