“Choosing a child care provider is a big decision.”
That’s why the Child Care Resource & Referral (CCRR) program exists. For more than 20 years, we’ve provided families with free child care information and referrals to local facilities. From explaining your options to assisting with child care subsidy processes, we’re here to help.

City school district partnership to create new child care centres
In 2014, the City and Burnaby School District signed an agreement to build up to 12 child care centres on school sites throughout Burnaby. Under the agreement, the City will provide capital funding through its community benefit bonus funds, the School District will provide land, and locally-based non-profit organizations will operate the centres.
So far, these 7 child care centres have opened or are about to open. These centres will be operated by non-profit societies.
Please contact the child care operators at the new centres directly
