3 Corners Childcare

When we have a space available it will be advertised above

How to Register for an available space:

• • Visit www.mountpleasantcc.ca 3 Corners page and click on the link to add your child to the list for the lottery draw. 
  • Ensure that your information provided is correct.
  • Once the link has closed, a lottery (random draw) will determine the child that is offered the space. Your child must fit the age range and you must be able to commit to the terms of the contract.
  • These spaces are now determined by a lottery draw.

Age Ranges: In order to qualify for available spaces, children must be born within the age range posted.  Age ranges are determined by MPCCA in conjunction with BC Child Care Licensing Regulations to ensure that we can provide ongoing, uninterrupted care.  If age ranges were not so specific, it is likely that care would be interrupted or cancelled when transitioning from one room to the next. If your child does not fit the age range, we will not be able to consider them for the space.

Contract Spaces: To better serve our community, families must be able to fulfill the contract term as specified above.

Extension of Care: Temporary spaces are available as posted and unfortunately not flexible for change.  Our hope is to be able to extend care beyond the temporary contract or offer a permanent space if available. If the opportunity comes up to extend a contract space we inform families as soon as possible but cannot predict or confirm this at this time.

What Happens after adding your child’s name to the list for a space?

• We will contact the successful families by the following business day after the lottery (random draw).  At this time, we will ask that you confirm your child’s age and set up an In Person or Zoom tour of 3 Corners to meet the staff and learn about our program.  After your tour, you will have 24 hours to accept the space and pay a 1-month security deposit and $50 non-refundable registration fee.
• Should your child not be the right age or you decline the space, we will do another random draw until the space is successfully filled.
• All other families will be notified when spaces are filled and ALL LOTTERY LISTS WILL BE DISCARDED at that time.
• If your child did not fit the age range posted or you did not meet the other requirements for the space listed, you will not be added to the lottery list.
• Please note we do not hold an ongoing waitlist.
• We have recently changed our registration process from a first come first served registration to a random lottery draw. Your patience while we navigate this new system and your feedback is appreciated.

Vision: Every child and family is unique and should have access to an inclusive and respectful child care experience.

Policy: MPCCA childcare programs embrace diversity and celebrate environments of acceptance, respect, understanding and inclusion. We commit to learn, understand and appreciate each person’s unique attributes. We value all the differences that make us individuals including race, ethnicity, culture, gender, neurodiversity, socioeconomic levels, range of abilities and physical and/or health care needs. We strongly believe inclusion is a fundamental human right for all and to create an inclusive space this requires nurturing educators with a background in inclusivity. Our educators support the unique abilities of each child to ensure they reach their highest potential. MPCCA works with BC Centre for Ability, PACE and other community partners to enhance our ability to support children of all abilities through training and consultation.​
