Unlock a universe of care & growth.
Licensed group childcare for ages 2.5 through 12. We run two centres in Nanaimo: a smaller daycare for our youngest and a larger school-age space for kids in elementary years. Camps run through every break — spring, summer, winter, and Pro-D days.
Every classroom is led by a credentialed Early Childhood Educator. Hot meals are prepared on-site. Outdoor blocks happen rain or shine. We hold ourselves to the standard you wish every program met — and parents who tour us tell us it shows.
Whether your child is two-and-a-half or just turned twelve, there's a place for them at In Space. Our programs share educators, values, and the same commitment to making every day matter.
Full-day group care for preschool-aged children. Reggio-inspired environments, child-led inquiry, and educators who genuinely know your child. Every day balances quiet work, big play, hot meals, and outdoor time. We're not babysitting — we're your child's first teachers.
Before-and-after-school care for kids in elementary years. We pick up from local schools, supervise homework if asked, and run the kind of afternoon programming most parents wish their elementary school offered. Snacks, projects, and outdoor time daily.
Day camps every school break. Themed weeks — forest school, art studio, marine biology, science lab — for kids 5 to 12. Drop-in friendly when space allows. Camps fill fast; registration opens six weeks ahead of each break.
Quiet entry, free play, settle in. Coffee for parents who need it.
Hot family-style breakfast prepared on-site.
Circle time, then a long outdoor block — rain or shine.
Hot meal, then quiet time for younger children.
Art, music, project work, sensory play.
Fresh fruit, baked goods, conversation.
Free choice — outdoor when weather allows.
Soft hand-off, with a daily note for every family.
A place where children are taken seriously and play is the work.
To raise the bar for what early-years care and learning can be — for every family who walks through our door.
Children who leave us curious, kind, and certain that they belong.
Your child is treated as our own. Every drop-off, every pickup, every day in between.
Childcare spaces fill quickly, but we're actively enrolling in both centres. The fastest path is a tour — bring your child, meet the educators, see the spaces. We can usually offer a place within two weeks of a confirmed application.
