We operate Daycare Centres in Oliver and (Soon to be) Okanagan Falls in the beautiful Okanagan Valley for kids from 6 months to 5 years old, preparing them for a long, beautiful life ahead!
All of our educators are Caring, Licensed ECE Professionals in BC
At Little Red Childcare Centre, our values guide everything we do. We believe that children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and inspired to explore. Our educators create an environment where curiosity is encouraged, individuality is celebrated, and families are true partners in the journey. With every activity, story, and smile, we’re dedicated to helping your child grow with confidence and joy.
At both the Little Red Childcare Centre in Oliver, BC, as well as Little Blue Childcare Centre in Okanagan Falls, every teacher is a fully ECE-Certified educator licensed in British Columbia. This means your child is guided by professionals who are not only passionate about early learning, but also trained in child development, safety, and age-appropriate teaching practices.
ECE certification ensures that our educators can recognize and support each stage of growth — from building language skills and motor development to nurturing social confidence. With certified teachers in every classroom, you can feel confident knowing your child is in capable, caring hands each day.
In our childcare centres, our passion is nurturing every child’s growth into a confident, independent, and well-rounded individual. From infants as young as 6 months to preschoolers ready for kindergarten, we provide caring, play-based programs that spark curiosity, build strong foundations, and prepare your little one for both school and life beyond.
Our Infant–Toddler program provides both full-time and part-time care for children ages 6 to 36 months. At this stage, our focus is on helping little ones feel safe, secure, and confident as they adjust to a group setting and begin exploring the world beyond their immediate family.
Each day is enriched with experiences in artistic expression, music, movement, science, exploration, and language development. As infants grow, they are guided toward important milestones such as self-feeding, improved coordination, and early language comprehension.
To support this growth, we use age-appropriate equipment, toys, and materials that encourage sensory exploration through textures, sounds, and interactive play. Our play-based approach ensures that every area of development—physical, social, emotional, and cognitive—is nurtured in a fun and engaging way.
Our Early Learners program is designed for children ages 4 to 5 as they prepare for the transition to kindergarten. At this stage, self-directed play becomes a key part of learning, allowing children to build independence while developing essential skills.
Learning outcomes include language development, socialization, self-help abilities, and fine motor skills. Language growth is encouraged through labeling the environment, repeating new vocabulary, and working toward individualized goals—helping children become confident and effective communicators.
Group activities further strengthen social and cognitive development, fostering teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. Whether it’s finger painting, building with blocks, enjoying music, or listening to stories, our nurturing educators guide children’s curiosity and support them as they grow into confident, eager learners ready for school and beyond.
At Little Red Childcare Centre, every day is a new opportunity for your child to learn, play, and grow alongside friends who may last a lifetime. From exciting activities that spark curiosity to gentle guidance that builds confidence, we create a joyful environment where children feel safe, supported, and celebrated. When you’re ready, we’ll be here to welcome your family into a community of care, growth, and unforgettable early experiences.
We understand that choosing the right childcare is a big decision, and naturally, parents have many questions about our care, programs, and daily practices. At Little Red Childcare Centre, we believe in being open and transparent every step of the way. To help you feel confident and informed, we’ve gathered answers to some of the most common questions we hear from families.
Our ratios follow (and often exceed) BC licensing standards, ensuring each child receives individual attention and support. This means your child is cared for in a safe, nurturing environment where educators can truly focus on their needs.
Yes. All of our educators are ECE Certified in British Columbia, which means they’ve completed specialized training in early childhood education and child development. You can feel confident knowing your child is guided by professionals who understand each stage of growth.
Children enjoy a balance of structured activities and free play. A typical day may include circle time, music, outdoor play, creative arts, story time, and quiet rest periods. This mix provides both consistency and opportunities for exploration.
We use a play-based curriculum that promotes curiosity, problem-solving, language development, and social skills. Activities are tailored to each age group, helping children build confidence while preparing for school and life ahead.
Safety is our top priority. Our centre is fully licensed by BC’s childcare authority, staff are trained in First Aid/CPR, and we follow strict health, hygiene, and security protocols. Parents can trust that their child is cared for in a secure, well-supervised environment.
We welcome children from 6 months to 5 years old across our Infant, Toddler, and Early Learner programs. Each stage is carefully designed to support age-appropriate growth and prepare children for their next milestones.
We offer a quiet, comfortable space where children can rest during the day. Nap and rest schedules are tailored by age group, with infants following individual routines and toddlers/preschoolers having designated rest periods.
We encourage open communication and transparency with families. Parents are welcome to check in or visit when needed, and we provide updates to keep you connected to your child’s day.
Our Early Learners program focuses on socialization, language, problem-solving, and self-help skills. Through play-based learning and group activities, children build confidence and independence, making them well-prepared for kindergarten.
Our primary centre, Little Red Childcare Centre, is located in Oliver, BC, serving families throughout the South Okanagan. We’re also excited to announce that our new “Little Blue” location in Okanagan Falls is scheduled to open around February 2026. This expansion allows us to welcome even more families into our community of care and provide the same high-quality, ECE-certified programs in both locations.
