‘Let’s get them on the right path:’ construction complete on unique Nanaimo daycare
NANAIMO — Construction has wrapped and the doors will soon open for a one-of-a-kind program bringing badly needed childcare spaces to Nanaimo.
A community celebration was held at the Tillicum Lelum Aboriginal Friendship Centre’s (TLAFC) new childcare facility on Tenth St. Friday afternoon.
Children and Family Development minister Katrine Conroy told NanaimoNewsNOW these are the kinds of programs the province wants to see for children since they learn the most up until the age of five-years-old.
“Those are the most important years for kids’ learning,” Conroy said. “To have a head-start program for them to come to is just an incredible opportunity to get them ready for school.”
