1. What ages do you accept at Light Childcare Centre?

Unlike many centers that only focus on preschool years, we are licensed to welcome children from birth (0 months) up to 12 years of age. Our programs are specifically designed to support the developmental milestones of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children.

2. Are you a licensed facility?

Yes. Light Childcare Centre is a fully licensed childcare facility in Chilliwack. This means we meet and exceed all provincial health, safety, and staffing requirements set by the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care.

3. Do you have spaces currently available?

As a newly opened center, we are currently accepting registrations! However, spaces in our Infant/Toddler and Preschool programs fill up quickly. We recommend filling out our inquiry form or calling us at 778-203-4400 to check current availability for your child’s age group.

What is your educational philosophy?

We believe in providing a nurturing, engaging environment where children learn through discovery and play. While we focus on preparing children for their school years, our primary goal is to ensure they feel safe and loved, allowing their natural curiosity to lead their learning.

Monday to Friday: 7 am to 6 pm | Saturday and Sunday: Closed

Do you accept the CCFRI and Affordable Child Care Benefit?

Yes! As a licensed provider in British Columbia, we participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which automatically lowers fees for parents of children in eligible age groups. We also welcome families receiving the Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB).

Is there a "gradual entry" process for new children?

Absolutely. We understand that starting daycare is a big transition. We work with each family to create a gradual entry plan that allows your child to stay for shorter periods initially, slowly building up to a full day as they become comfortable with our teachers and their new environment.

Are uniforms required at Light Childcare?

No, we do not require uniforms. We want children to be comfortable and ready for messy, creative play! We simply ask that children come dressed in weather-appropriate clothing and bring a spare change of clothes and indoor shoes.

How can I schedule a tour of the facility?

We would love to show you around! You can book a tour by visiting our website and submitting an Inquiry Form, or by calling us directly at 778-203-4400. Tours are a great way to meet our educators and see our classrooms in action.
