Our mission is to offer stress‑free, casual childcare that fits the rhythm of military life. Whether you’re heading to an appointment, running errands, or simply need a moment to recharge, we provide a warm, engaging space where your child can learn, play, and feel supported.

Our trained caregivers understand the needs of military families — from frequent relocations to changing routines — and create an environment where children feel secure, confident, and connected.

What We Offer

Military‑Family‑Focused Environment — Staff experienced with military and veteran community needs.

Play‑Based Learning — Crafts, sensory play, outdoor time, and social development.

Safe, Trauma‑Informed Care — A calm, predictable space for children navigating transitions.

Affordable Options — Pay only for the days you use.

We have an important update to share regarding the Youth Centre!

The Centre’s current location has been slotted to return to RHUs, a much needed asset in our community. But have no fear, the confirmed new address is located right around the corner.

Because of this move, our Youth Centre will not be opening next week as planned and our regular schedule is temporarily on hold while we transition.

We know how much families and youth rely on this space, and we regret any disruption this delay causes. While change on short notice is never easy, we are genuinely excited about this new chapter! Moving gives us a fresh opportunity to create a space tailored to our youth.

We are finalizing details for our new location and will post updates, opening dates, and new address details to this page as soon as we are able.

Thank you so much for your continued support and flexibility as we make this exciting move!

For questions or concerns, please contact Dandelion ELCC at [email protected]

School is starting back up again.. that means our Casual Childcare program will be back in business!

Have an appointment? Need a nap? Have questions? Give us a call!

Casual Care is designed to give parents a break during the week if access to a full time spot is not needed or has yet to be acquired.

Please note, our Casual Care program is run by our amazing Before & Afterschool educators, and so cannot operate on days that school aged children require full day care at DELCC, such as snow days, march break and scheduled PD days. Please see the attached schedule of all known ASD-W and Francophone Sud closures.

We can't wait to see you!

Such a great show of support from our Base Commander! 🪖🌼

What a wonderful community to be a part of. 💛🌼💛

Unfortunately, at 7:25 this morning our centre lost power.

Due to provincial regulations, we are unable to remain open past the 1 hour mark without power.

Phone calls are being made currently. Please note we will not be open for after school care.

The Youth Centre will also be closed.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes!

Hope to see you all tomorrow.
