Welcome to Beausejour Kids Centre

We are a non-profit provincially licensed child care centre which was established on November 26, 1980. We are located in the Beausejour Early Years School at 900 James Avenue in Beausejour, MB. The Centre provides care for children aged 12 weeks to 12 years. Beausejour Kids Centre accepts children of all abilities and provides a caring, warm, and nurturing environment.

We are open year round, Monday to Friday from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm. The Centre is composed of three separate classrooms, which meet the needs of specific age groups. We have an infant/toddler, preschool, and Pre-K/school age classroom. BKC strives to maintain quality programming by following the Best Practices Licensing Manual for Early Learning & Child Care Centres. We are also a member of the Manitoba Child Care Association

We are committed to providing an ‘open door’ policy where we encourage communication between parents/guardians, teachers in the school, and the Centre. Please feel free to come and discuss any ideas, concerns, or compliments you may have. Beausejour Kids Centre takes great pride in caring for your children and giving them a place where they feel safe, cared for, and have fun.
