About us
Rossland Child Care Society - Golden Bear Children's Centre
At Golden Bear Children’s Centre, we believe that families are entitled to be involved in a meaningful way in their child’s experience at the centre. We strongly feel families deserve assurance of quality early learning and care for their children. This provides them with peace of mind while they are involved in work commitments, educational and/or personal fulfillment, in knowing their child’s whole development is being positively nurtured. This is done in a caring and supportive environment that celebrates family diversity.
Our purpose is to guide children in their daily activities, fostering independence by allowing children extensive opportunities to explore, discover and manipulate objects in their environment. The teachers support, encourage and assist children in all the developmental areas of growth including emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development. We believe that children need the freedom and opportunity to develop at their own pace and we respect the unique temperament and abilities of individual children.
Golden Bear Children’s Centre is a daycare located in the heart of Rossland, a beautiful ski town that offers a variety of outdoor lifestyle activities in British Columbia. Our Centre was established in 1998 and our mission is to provide quality, play-based child care in a respectful, nurturing environment.
