West Point Grey Daycare Society

The daycare is operated by West Point Grey Daycare Society, a non-profit society formed in 1972 by a group of parents who recognized the need for accessible childcare for the ages of 18-36 months of age, becoming one of the first toddler childcare programs in Vancouver. Originally housed at West Point Grey United Church, hence our name, the daycare found a new home at Fairview Baptist Church in 1981. The Society is run by a volunteer board of directors.

In April 2013 West Point Grey Daycare received the Childcare Legacy Award in recognition of 40 years of outstanding childcare service from the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

Hours of Operation

West Point Grey Daycare is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Late arrivals often disrupt the flow of the program for the other children, so please call the centre if you plan to arrive after 9:45 a.m., or if your child will be absent for any reason. All families should arrive before 5:00 p.m. to pick up their children at the end of the day.

Daycare Closures

The daycare is closed on all statutory holidays and Easter Monday. We also close from mid-December and re-open on the first business day after New Year’s. 

In the event of a snow storm, the daycare will be closed all day if the snow storm is predicted to start before 12pm. We will close at 12pm if the snow storm is predicted to be in the afternoon. We appreciate your understanding, as our priority is to ensure everyone’s safety.

Parent Involvement

Families of children enrolled in the daycare become involved by volunteering their time and skills to help improve the daycare. Volunteering duties include: washing toys, gardening, taking paper recycling home, assembling toys, etc.
