Their before-and-after-school program is helping Terrace parents in need of childcare
Accessible and affordable child care is a priority for parents in Terrace, which is why the City of Terrace offers several programs for children of school age and younger.
In a council meeting on July 22, the City of Terrace shared that their before-and-after-school program is seeing an increase in enrolment. "The group is primarily of kids in Kindergarten to Grade 3, with some older kids," said Sarah Artis, communications advisor for the City of Terrace.The 1,480 square-foot space includes a food area, play space for active, dramatic, quiet, and construction play, science exploration, music, art and a quiet zone. There is also a storage area for children’s belongings and equipment storage, and accessible bathrooms.
"The inclusion of all these interest areas provide a functional and stimulating environment that allows all children to engage in meaningful ways," said Linda Stevens, social development program coordinator for the City of Terrace, in a news release last year.
