Inquiring Little Minds

We have been busy going into Summer, so I thought I would do some center updates.

Wildwood (Prince George) - there is a meeting with the city next week as we are preparing to start taking a few children.

Vernon, Kelowna, and Summerland are deep into renovations.

Silver Creek and Kent -still need some furniture to be built and things unboxed. We are waiting on an initial licensing inspection.

We have started working on our September enrollments.

Congratulations to our ILM 3rd Ave location in Ladysmith for winning Platinum in the Daycare category of the 2026 CommunityVotes Cowichan Valley awards! 🎉🏅

Our Waitlist:

I know that people say if you haven't heard anything about a spot email, email, email.

That's 100% not how our list works.

Our list isn't some big list and you are next on it.

Rather ours is a calendar. You get slotted into the month that you want. If you are 3rd you aren't third on the whole list. You are 3rd for that particular month!

We only work a few months out at a time. For most spots we are going to work on July's list in the next week. Max we tell anyone of a spot is 8 weeks out if we even have one.

For out of school care we are continuing to work on the summer list and September's for all spots K and up this week.

If your asking for a spot 6 months out we couldn't even give you a guess.

Its been a while! New center Updates:

Prince George- Wildwood: Waiting on a code analysis so that fire can sign off. Its been 30 days.

Vernon- Just need the architects plans.

Kelowna- At the mechanical engineer.

Summerland- is getting a new roof and we are doing set up.

Kent and Silver Creek- We are setting up and waiting on the last bit of the shipment to arrive.

Abbotsford- Doing a Structural Engineer walk through.

We are always busy doing something.

Stay Tuned!
