N.I.C.C.'s offers a 2.5 hour and 4 hour Preschool Program as well as a Full Day Daycare for your child to enjoy. Our program supports language development, early learning, kindergarten readiness and "making friends" in a fun, enriching environment that welcomes all children.
We are a nonprofit organization that operates Malaspina Child Care Centre and Preschool as a public service. We have a volunteer Board of Directors who aid us in policy and decision making and act as a support group.
Welcome to our childcare center, where every day is a busy day filled with activities that will foster individual, social, physical, emotional & cognitive growth in a nurturing, fun atmosphere. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to discover their own individuality through both adult guided activities and through free play. Happy Campers Child Care started as a small family licensed in-home child care center and has grown to a company where our 40 loving, nurturing educators care for an average of 400 children in 11 centers every day. We are very much a family business; the owner, Lucy-Ann Smith, started the daycare in 1992 when her son was a month old. Now, her sons and her husband all work alongside Lucy-Ann to help your children's day be a happy & successful day.
