The Halfmoon Bay Childcare Centre is open year-round, Tuesday – Friday from 8:00am – 3:30pm
We provide high quality care for children by offering a safe, creative, developmentally challenging, and nurturing environment, to facilitate the physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth of each child.
