A message from Carol O’Connor,
ELCCO Chair

As an Early Childhood Educator, I am honored to support the vision of the BC Government and Ministry of Education and Child Care for a publicly funded, $10aDay childcare system.  

As Chair of the Early Learning Childcare Council for Oceanside (ELCCO) it is my privilege to work alongside local government and childcare advocates to build a childcare friendly community that enriches the lives of our children and their families.

We would like to gratefully recognize and acknowledge that we live,
learn and work on the traditional unceded territory of the Qualicum
First Nations and Snaw’naw’as people.
