At Kootenay Kids, we believe that

Strong Families Support Strong Communities

Our vision

Every child in the communities we serve thrives through access to holistic, community-based, education, information, and care.

 Our mission

We support the holistic wellbeing of children and the people who care for them through high-quality early learning and child care, family support, pediatric therapy services, and strong community partnerships — so every child can thrive.

 Our values

Community: We build trusting, reciprocal relationships that reflect belonging, collaboration, humility

Curiosity: We inspire, support, and celebrate the joy of life- long learning in clients, staff, and partners.

Integrity: We make thoughtful, transparent decisions and take care of the resources entrusted to us, ensuring our work reflects the needs and voices of the people we serve and work alongside.

Respect: We cultivate dignity and respect for everyone engaging with our organization, including tangible actions of decolonization and reconciliation.
