Our HistoryThe Vancouver Life Skills Society began operating South Vancouver Family Place in the Victoria-Fraserview area of Southeast Vancouver in 1977. Since 1991 this area has undergone rapid growth and continues to develop as a multicultural, multilingual community, with a large number of immigrant families. In 1992, the City of Vancouver decided that it would construct a childcare unit in this neighbourhood. The sponsored unit was leased to the Vancouver Life Skills Society which was responsible for setting up and administering this childcare facility - KidsCare Centre. In November 1995, after a few years of planning and construction, KidsCare opened to serve the community with a preschool program and kindercare program. The kindercare program was terminated in 1998.In 1999, due to the growing demand of Chinese immigrants, a Bilingual Program (Chinese & English) was set up to compliment the existing English Program – KidsCare Preschool. |
