Family Child Care Tours
Are you tired of your child care space? Are you looking for new ideas on how to set up your family child care? Do you just want to see what others are doing? If so, then join us for our child care tours. We will be visiting three different family child care homes. Space is limited so sign up now!

The tours will be held in North Delta.  More details to follow.

OPTIONS: Services to Communities Society and Surrey Community Services Society have merged effective April 1, 2009. Our new name is OPTIONS Surrey Community Services Society. The name is an interim one and will be changed at a later time. The new merged agency is in the process of
reviewing the Mission, Vision, and Values statements and are working with a communications group to assist with development of the new branding, logo, colours and key messages.
In the meantime you can access the program information through the original OPTIONS website and Surrey Community Services at their web site.

We've opened a new satellite office in Ladner.  Staff will be on hand to assist you with child care subsidy and referrals to child care.  Our staff are available on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

We also offer child care provider drop-in sessions on the last Tuesday of each month from 9:30 to 11:00 am.

Our new office is co-located with Deltassist and the Boys & Girls Club Community Services of Delta/Richmond.

We are located at:
Harbour Centre
#205-5000 Bridge Street
Ladner, BC

We are currently offering drop-in sessions for family child care providers.  These drop-in sessions are provided in the communities of Ladner and Newton.  These sessions give you the opportunity to network with other caregivers; the children in your care can interact with other children their age and play with educational puzzles and toys. We will supply arts, crafts, story time and snacks.

The Ladner drop-ins will be held on the last Tuesday of the month at Harbour Centre, #205-5000 Bridge Street, Ladner from 9:30-11:00 am. For more information please contact Michelle 604-572-8032 extension 230.

The Newton drop-ins will be held on the first Wednesday and the third Friday of the month at the Early Years Centre, 6878 King George Highway, Surrey from 9:30-11:00 am. For more information please contact Mary 604-572-8032 extension 228.
