Seaside Children’s Centre is a private childcare facility in the qathet region (Powell River, BC) on BC’s Sunshine Coast. While part of the Sunshine Coast Health Centre and Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic operations, Seaside Children’s Centre operates as its own separate entity with collaborations from certain SCHC/GSWC departments such as the kitchen, administration, and finance teams.
Seaside Children’s Centre was originally formed in response to a lack of early childcare options available to staff of Sunshine Coast Health Centre and Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic during COVID-19. Our vision is to continue to provide sustainable and accessible childcare options to the SCHC/GSWC staff families and broader qathet region parent community.
