Pemberton Childrens Centre

🌿 Housing Needed for New Educators

We are excited to share that we are in the process of welcoming new staff members to both our community and our Centre as we continue working toward fully opening our new programming. As we grow, we are actively seeking additional qualified educators to join our team so that we can fully staff and open our new program spaces.

Supporting new educators as they transition into our community is an important part of building strong, consistent care for children and families.

As part of this, we are assisting one of our new educators, who will be relocating to Pemberton in early July to join our team. We are helping spread the word in hopes of finding accommodation for her and her husband as they make the move to our community. They are currently seeking a long-term rental and would greatly appreciate any leads or support from the community.

🏡 Housing details:

• Looking for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment, studio, or basement suite
• Must be a private, self-contained unit (no shared accommodations)
• Preferably with natural light
• Long-term rental (minimum one year)
• Budget: $1,500–$1,750 per month
• Non-smoking, quiet, respectful couple in their early 30s who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.

If you know of any suitable housing options or upcoming availability, please DM/PM this post and we will connect you directly.

We truly appreciate the support of our community as we continue to grow our team and strengthen our programs for children and families.

The Pemberton Child Care Society would like to provide a further update to the community regarding the status of the daycare expansion project.

Since our last update, our management team and Board have continued working closely with the Province regarding the inclusion of the new expansion spaces in the $10 a Day ChildCareBC program. We have been in active discussions and negotiations with the program since December and are currently awaiting a final decision.

This decision represents a critical step for the Society, as it will allow us to finalize the funding model needed to hire additional staff and fully open the new licensed childcare spaces. As previously shared, we are navigating a process that is somewhat uncharted. The $10 a Day program was originally designed for centres already in operation and does not yet have clearly established pathways for incorporating new centres or expansion spaces that have not yet begun operating.

In the meantime, the new centre space has been opened with a small cohort of children who have aged out of our toddler program and needed to be moved into an age-appropriate room, in accordance with licensing regulations. This movement has allowed the Society to keep the facility active under its childcare licence while we continue working toward securing the funding required to operate the full expansion programming. No new children have been onboarded into the expansion. Once funding is confirmed, we will move forward with hiring the additional educators required to operate the expanded programs and fully utilize the licensed capacity of the spaces.

While we had hoped to have more definitive news to share by now, we want to remain transparent with the community about where things currently stand. Our team continues to stay in regular contact with provincial representatives and program administrators as we work toward a resolution.

We also understand the eagerness within the Pemberton community to see this much-needed expansion of childcare services open. To ensure consistent and accurate communication, we kindly ask that any questions regarding the expansion be directed to the PCCS Board ([email protected]) or PCC management. Our educators are not involved in the administration of the expansion project and are not able to provide updates on its status.

We remain committed to opening the expansion and increasing access to high-quality licensed childcare spaces for families in Pemberton. We sincerely appreciate the community’s continued patience and support while we work through these final steps.

We will provide another update as soon as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your patience and support as we work towards opening these much needed childcare spaces.
