Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House - Nootka Children's Centre

Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House

Frog Hollow empowers local residents in Hastings-Sunrise to improve our community together. We do this by providing ongoing programs and services and by supporting various community development initiatives. We hope to see you soon!

Our childcare team is passionate and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and philosophy. We offer exciting and stimulating opportunities for children and their families to grow in an environment that values full participation, self-determination and a belief in the unlimited potential of the child. We apply the principles and values of the Reggio Emilia approach in concert with the values of Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House.

At Frog Hollow we believe that childcare plays an important role in a child’s development, family dynamics and is an essential support in our society.

NootKa Children's Centre

The Nootka Children’s Centre offers an encouraging and healthy place to begin and end each school day.

A positive start to each day is an important aspect to success at school. After school children are welcome to build, create and play in a warm, fun environment inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Our educators explore learning opportunities with the children and guide them to achieve their highest potentials through play and natural discoveries. Located at Nootka Elementary School our spaces offer natural and open-ended material to explore through creative play.

Children at our program are offered:
