UNBC Childcare Society is located on the campus of the University
of Northern British Columbia. This million dollar facility is open to
children of students, staff/faculty, and members of the Prince George
community.
The Childcare Centre, in partnership with families,provides a warm, nurturing and safe environment
where children will learn to respect themselves, respect others, and
respect their environment. The environment is set up for co-operative
play, providing a balance between active and quiet times. Activities
are "hands on" so the children can create, explore and discover the
world around them.

We strongly recommend that you apply for childcare as early as possible as we have limited number of spaces and a long waiting list for those spaces.
Free play is an integral part of the program. As stated by Dr Neville Scarfe, "play is vital to childhood and adulthood, it is the most complete of all educational activities". Free play will provide opportunities for art and science activities, dramatic play, water and sand play, as well as construction, manipulative toys and woodworking.
UNBC Childcare recognizes the importance of the early years in brain development and advocates the importance of quality early childhood experiences.
The staff are all licensed early childhood educators, trained to enhance children's learning, while encouraging social skills and fostering children's self-esteem.
