About Us

The Society of Richmond Children's Centres was founded in 1995 by a small group of community volunteers. The Society opened its first children's centre in Terra Nova in 1996. Since that date, the Society has opened the Cook Road and the Bowling Green Road Children's Centres.

A dedicated group of community and family members make up our board of directors and oversee the operation of the Society.

The Society hires well-qualified Early Childhood Professionals who are committed to providing programs for children that meet or exceed the standards of the Child Care Regulations and that:

  • Value children’s play
  • Are developmentally appropriate to the age of each child;
  • Are inclusive and free of cultural bias;
  • Are developed in consideration of families needs;
  • Challenge and encourage each child to meet his/her own potential in all areas of physical, social and emotional development.
