We've moved
We are now seeing children and families at the Copper Ridge Place continuing care facility, located at 60 Lazulite Drive in the Copper Ridge subdivision. Please note our entrance is not at the front of the building. Our entrance is located around back, and can be a bit tricky to find. Follow our Child Development Centre signs or give us a call at 456-8182 if you have trouble finding us!
Our therapeutic preschool remains at 509 Alexander Street.
