The Courtyard Child Care is a licensed child care facility. Operated by Interior Community Services, the center is located within the Spencer Court housing complex in Kamloops,British Columbia. A staff team of 3 full-time licensed Early Childhood Educators provides exceptional care to children aged 30 months to school age. The program operates year-round and is open Monday to Friday from 7:45 am to 5:15 pm. All of the food is provided, as well as a kindergarten pick-up/drop-off service at South Sahali school. We serve families within Spencer Court as well as community spaces. The Courtyard Child Care recognizes that play is an essential component to every child’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development.
The children are provided with a stimulating indoor and outdoor environment where they have large blocks of time to freely discover, create, pretend, explore, build, and learn through play. Natural materials are provided that allow opportunities for incidental learning and demonstrate how things live, die, grow, change, and evolve through the cycles of life and the seasons. Independence is encouraged by allowing children to choose their own activities, access their own materials, and participate in both problem solving and program planning. We recognize that building a strong relationship with the family is essential to providing the best possible care for the child and we strive to provide opportunities for children to interact with the people, places, and events that shape their community and our world.
