Spring Clean of Outdoor Area & Gardens!

Volunteers will engage in a spring cleaning of the outdoor area & gardens of  Citygate Early Learning and Child Care. Citygate is a $10 a day child care program. 

We deliver a play-based curriculum and our staff are licensed Early Childhood Educators, registered to practice in the province of British Columbia with the ECE registry. Our educators also have specialized certificates in infant-toddler and special needs training, as well as first aid, CPR and Food Safe.

YWCA BC operates multiple licensed child cares in Metro Vancouver, all of which are committed to $10 a day or free services. We recognize that affordable child care is essential to the economic stability of single mothers. We prioritize single mothers and YWCA program participants in all of our child cares. Two very special programs within our child cares are at Emma’s, where we provide supportive programming for teen parents who are working towards completing high school, and at Crabtree Corner, where we provide free child care for mothers in the downtown eastside, to allow them to attend medical appointments, legal appointments, parenting programming and job interviews.  

As you know, YWCA BC serves individuals with intersecting barriers, who may struggle with homelessness, unemployment, institutionalized racism, substance use disorder and intimate partner violence.
