Support the Vernon

Sunflower Childcare Centre

The critical shortage of childcare spaces in the North Okanagan, and the lack of affordability of care can prevent parents from pursuing higher education.


To address these issues, Okanagan College is building the Sunflower Childcare Centre / smúkwaʔxn̓ scəcəmalla itskn snmaʔmayaʔtn on our Vernon Campus. The new 44-seat Centre, operated by non-profit Maven Lane, will offer affordable childcare through programs like the $10-a-Day childcare initiative or the Child Care Fee Reduction initiative.


Okanagan College Foundation has already raised over $2 million for the Centre and is now inviting the community to help raise the remaining $750,000 required to equip this beautiful centre with furnishings, supplies, and a creative outdoor space where the kids can play and learn.
