Eagle’s Nest Aboriginal Head Start is a multi age care program licensed through BC Interior Health Authority with a capacity of eight children.  We are licensed for three children under the age of three and five children of various ages including school age. We are currently accepting registration from the public with children from ages 0 – 5 years at this time. ‘Multi-age’ means we can care for children in one room rather than splitting them into groups according to their age. Sibling and family groups can remain together and children of all ages benefit from the opportunity to learn from and share with children both older and younger than themselves. Our license is displayed by our program door.

At Eagle’s Nest AHS we know that all children and families are made differently, and we see the strengths and good things in each person. No child or family will be turned away because of challenges they may face.

Eagle’s Nest AHS is a setting where we view the life and education of children in a holistic way. To bring meaningful content to our program we honour and respect cultural traditions and values and encourage the participation of family and Elders.

Eagle’s Nest is funded by the federal government through Aboriginal Head Start. We are so grateful for the opportunity to be part of AHS and especially thankful that the program is free to all Indigenous children. There is no parent fee to participate at all.
