Childcare at British Properties, West Vancouver

We care for infant and toddler age children at our British Properties daycare located at 1525 Taylor Way, West Vancouver. Our Reggio Emilia inspired program encourages growth and learning through the principles of exploration, community, and nature. Specialty programs include: gardening, baking, music, yoga, swimming for preschoolers, and integration with senior citizens.

We believe every child is wholly competent and has an inherent ability to learn about the world in their own unique way. As caregivers at Olive Grove Childcare, it is our role to listen and follow in the child’s pathways of discovery.
