Childcare


Lots of homeschooling families juggle both parents working and homeschooling.    Its nice having child care by other parents with similar values that want to welcome your child into their lives.
Here's a list of other HS-Van members that provide childcare to homelearning families.


Ty's Day Home Care
East Vancouver, Britannia

I am happy to announce that I am opening my home to other children in our community. If you have an appointment, class, want to go shopping or maybe you just need a break, my family and I are happy to help. My home is located in East Van, Britannia area. It has a large child’s play area and outdoor space. My children are Homeschoolers / Life Learners. I believe in the power of learning through play. We have a ton of toys, arts and craft supplies, books, puzzles, costumes, musical instruments and puppets. I will be offering childminding Monday to Friday 8am-6pm at an hourly or daily rate, for children of any age, but must be walking. Discounts given for siblings. . Please contact me at kristinaardron@gmail.com to arrange a meeting..



Belinda White
East Vancouver, Fraser and King Edward

I have recently closed my LNR Bumble Bee Home Daycare which I ran for almost five years as providing full time childcare no longer meets my family's needs.
I am presently looking for families to help on a part-time basis in childcare, tutoring, and home schooling.
I have over 15 years experience in education and childcare, am active,
passionate about nurturing and educating children, and well versed in
alternative forms of education, attachment parenting, working with children who need to move a lot.....
I'd say I excel in making everyday experience meaningful and 'learning-ful', love music, dance, theatre, story-telling, living math and science, am not afraid to experiment, make a mess, try something totally new...
Also, I can be of help finding ways to add more life learning to your children's days, looking for their passions, where they excel, how they perceive, process, where they struggle, perhaps revitalize your home learning, add a fresh twist or just give you a break.
I would also be interested in getting a small group of like minded youngster's together to facilitate a group learning experience in either writing, story-building, art, science, or a combination.....
something like understanding heroes and myths and why we need them......

Plase contact me for further information and availability, I'd love to hear from you.

Karen Bronsan
East Vancouver (Collingwood)

Looking for an AP style caregiver/homeschooler to care for your homeschool child/ren? Need a break from teaching? We are an outdoor loving family that believe in active play, no screen time and lots of messy exploration! I was a teacher (K-9) for over 10 years. My son is 6 and has a heart of gold and loves meeting new kids. My 19 month old daughter also loves meeting new kids and does her best to keep up. Our days are filled with adventures, inside and out and lots of learning opportunites. We are a short walk to Collingwood Park and have a nice sized yard ourselves. Contact me with any questions you may have! Collingwood location.

Sarah Eakins
Commercial Drive area, Vancouver

I am a fun-loving mama to two and a Licenced Early Childhood Educator providing professional and nurturing LNR child care from my home off The Drive for over four years now.

With two of my long-term daycare children graduating into kindergarten this year, I have the rare opportunity to offer two spaces beginning this September (possibly sooner if needed).  

My own parenting style is rooted deeply in respectful communication, compassionate guidance and attachment with appreciation for each child as a unique individual. Combined with my gentle and playful nature, the children and I create an atmosphere of joyful learning and growth.  

I am passionate about child-led learning and create a fluid environment in which children are free to develop their individual interests and skills, with quality art supplies and thoughtfully arranged outings, field trips and activities in the community.  Our main floor looks out onto a fully gated play area shared with the other families of our co-op, enhancing our sense of community and friendships
