REACH Early Learning Centre in Ladner, South Delta  – Full Day Childcare, Age 3-5

Welcome to REACH Early Learning Centres (ELC) South Delta, a non-profit  Centre of Excellence in early learning, offering a high-quality program designed to give children the strongest possible start in life. Our full-day childcare centre is open 7 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday.  The monthly fee is $530 and families have flexibility to attend according to their schedules. Our program is for children 3-5 years and located within Ladner Memorial Park and our centre connects children to both nature and community in meaningful ways.

REACH Early Learning Centre is more than childcare—it is a preschool-like experience where we create a foundation for lifelong learning, confidence, and well-being. Give your child the best possible start. Children are nurtured in a warm, inclusive, and engaging environment where they are encouraged to explore, discover, and build strong relationships.

Children learn best through play, connection, and exploration. Our approach is rooted in:

• Respect for each child as capable, curious, and full of potential
• A balance of structured learning and child-led discovery
• Inclusive practice, where every child and family belong
• Family-centred practice, where families’ voices are valued and respected

Your child will:

• Build strong friendships and social skills
• Develop confidence and independence
• Build a strong foundation in early literacy
• Strengthen emotional regulation and resilience and
• Grow across all areas of development
