Little Legacies has proudly served families in Nanaimo for over three years, building on a foundation that began more than 33 years ago. Our original company was founded by Debbie with a strong focus on supporting families and helping meet the growing need for reliable before and after school care.
Recognizing the increasing demand for quality childcare in the early years, owner Erin expanded Little Legacies to include toddler, and full day programs for children aged 3–5. Today, Little Legacies supports families through both school-age care and a centrally located daycare program on Bowen Road. TBD Infant-toddler care will be offered in the future.
At Little Legacies, the nurturing, safety, and wellbeing of every child come first.
Our daycare programs follow the Reggio Emilia approach, which emphasizes:
Educators guide and support each child while allowing them the freedom to explore, make choices, and grow in independence throughout their day. Learning is not about completing tasks — it’s about what children discover along the way.
We are a growing company with fresh ideas, strong values, and a deep commitment to our community.
Our educators are qualified, passionate, and committed to ongoing professional growth.
Little Legacies offers distinctive onsite before and after school programs directly within the schools your children attend, providing convenience and continuity. At Grins and Giggles, our spacious, secure, central location includes its own fenced green space and easy access to local parks. We balance structured activities with flexible, interest-driven learning opportunities, fostering early numeracy, literacy, and creative play.
