Child Care in Homalco

Homalco First Nation plans to open a 79 space licensed child care facility.  This program will integrate Homalco First Nation Culture, traditions and language with the Montessori method of education and early childhood education best practices.  We estimate the program will be operational commencing December 2025; however, this depends upon our construction schedule.

The Province has partnered with Homalco First Nation to build this facility which will include 24 infant-toddler spaces, 25 spaces for children aged 30 months to kindergarten, and 30 spaces for school-aged children.

Our child care program will prioritize spaces as follows:

1. Children/families of Homalco First Nation members
2. Children/families of Homalco First Nation employees
3. Children/families from the Campbell River

This project jointly supported by provincial investments and federal funding and is made possible through over $9.5 million from the ChildCareBC New Spaces fund and the federal Early Learning and Child Care Infrastructure Fund.
