A parent co-operative, since 1977.

Take the tour

Our daily routine, the indoor space and the program, in a few minutes.

How we are run

Parents and community volunteers, with professional administration behind them.

As a society we operate with a Board of Directors made up of four mandatory positions (Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer) plus Members at Large, of which there is no limit. The Board is made up of parent and community volunteers.

The Board is responsible to Little Mountain Neighbourhood House, a larger society that has administrated us since May 1998. They manage our finances and provide administrative support, and their wider set of programs, which include another daycare centre and many family and community events, makes them a real resource for our families.

You can see the current board on our contact page.

Who looks after the children

Qualifications are not optional here.

• Every teacher holds a licence in Early Childhood Education, and at least one carries a licence in Special Needs.
• First aid certificates are kept current, and staff attend regular workshops and seminars to meet their licensing requirements.
• We integrate children who require extra support. Inclusion is part of how the centre runs, not an exception to it.
• Many of our educators have been here for decades. Meet them.

What we are for

Sunset is dedicated to providing a safe, secure and supportive environment for everyone involved. The staff are responsible for the health, safety and well-being of all the children, and the program is designed around their physical, social, emotional, creative and cognitive development.

Great programs, good indoor learning and outdoor play space, dedicated staff, and great kids. That is the whole of it.
