May is Childcare month in BC . My name is Mariti Mellow and I own and operate Lil Amigos Daycare in Port Hardy. I am proud to say that I have the longest running Licenced Family Childcare Center in Port Hardy and we just celebrated 34 years in business. My goal is to provide high quality care for young children and to enhance their learning and development. While most parents would like to be home with their children enjoying their new experiences, today’s society increases the need for childcare. This is the reason when you trust someone else to care and teach your child, you want to be sure it is the right place. Lil Amigos Daycare is a secure place where your child will develop and have fun when you can’t be there. It’s a difficult decision. Quality care can be achieved through a combination of experience, commitment and devotion to children and their parents, education and a love for children. It is important for me as a care provider, that what I teach your child today will have a lasting effect on tomorrow.

At Lil Amigos, building close relationships with the children and families is very important to me. Inclusion is vital. I value each child’s unique strengths and provide the necessary accommodations. Children of all abilities , backgrounds and needs (including disabilities) are fully supported , collaborating and working with community resources and families to access early intervention and support services. Helping children meet their needs , respecting their individuality and building good relationships is essential!

I am grateful for my community , your trust in me as a care provider, I provide a nurturing, caring environment for your child. Smaller group size allows me to offer more personalized attention. My goal is to have a positive impact on children’s social, emotional and cognitive development . Quality child care can offer children a strong foundation. Thank you to all you wonderful child care providers and professionals working with children in our community. Thank you to all my families past and present ❤️
