Snc'c'amala?tn is a combined school and childcare facility.
The teamwork of a number of departments of the Okanagan Indian Band
and support of Chief and Council made this facility possible. The centre
is designed with children in mind and is a beautiful, top rated facility.
The
daycare, Head Start and Preschool programs are built around
play, encouraging the children to begin mastering many fundamental
physical, social, emotional, intellectual and creative skills
and concepts.
The staff understand the importance of supporting the
children’s play through observation, taking advantage of opportune
moments to expand on the children’s play and by encouraging the
children to explore and experiment with new materials with the least
amount of direction.
The Kindergarten adds to the continued growth of
young children’s knowledge and understanding of themselves and
their world. In a stimulating, secure and active environment children
are allowed to experience the joy of learning.
