North Cowichan is excited to announce that a new child care facility is being developed on municipally owned property adjacent to Maple Bay Elementary at the intersection of Donnay Drive and Kingsview Road. This facility will serve as a permanent home for an established child care operator, ensuring continued access to quality early learning and care for local families.
You are invited to learn more about the project through an open house event and online engagement opportunities.
- Open house (drop-in): Tuesday, April 8, 3:30-6:30pm, Maple Bay Elementary library

In 2023 North Cowichan received an $18,047,176 grant provided by the federal and provincial governments through the Canada-British Columbia Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement and the ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund to support a new 158-space child care facility. The new facility will replace the one operated by Parkside Academy Society at the former Somenos school site on Sprott Road.
