Children's Programs

Children’s programming is a very large part of what we do at South Vancouver Neighbourhood House. Not only do we have programs that are on-going throughout the year such as our out-of-school care and Poppins Preschool (September – June), but we operate several shorter term programs at various times during the year and a summer daycamp as well. For specific information on our children’s programming see the information below.
