Early Learning and Child Care

Early Learning and Child Care

At School District No. 73 (Kamloops-Thompson) we are committed to supporting early learning opportunities and environments which inspire children to thrive.

We strive to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable child care that is essential to the well-being of children, their families, and the broader community.

Furthermore, it is now widely recognized that child care plays a critical role in economic development, poverty reduction, gender equality, social inclusion, and healthy child development.

In recognition of this, the Kamloops-Thompson School District Early Learning and Child Care team, alongside its many community partners, are committed to interconnected opportunities to address child care needs that exist at our regional level.

The District acknowledges the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Education and Child Care. This funding allows us to offer a wide range of early learning and childcare programs.
