Your Trusted Child Care Partner in Winnipeg
Since 1981, James Child Care has dedicated itself to providing high-quality child care services in Winnipeg's Fort Garry area. Originally established as a school-aged program at 1226 Waller Avenue, we expanded to include a preschool location at 3 Marshall Crescent to better serve our growing community. Our play-based approach recognizes that a child's work is play, fostering essential social skills that serve as building blocks for lifelong success. We maintain a diverse and inclusive program environment that encourages daily growth, learning, and creativity for both staff and children. Our preschool center accommodates 32 children aged 2-5, while our school-aged location serves 40 children attending Ralph Maybank, Ecole Crane, and Viscount Alexander Elementary Schools.Both locations currently operate at full capacity with active waitlists, reflecting our strong community demand. Families interested in enrollment can submit applications via email to joanna@jameschildcare.com for consideration as spaces become available. Our leadership team includes Acting Director Joanna Veroukis and dedicated supervisors for both program locations. We maintain transparent operational policies detailed in our Parent Policy Handbook and participate in Manitoba's Child Care Subsidy Program to enhance accessibility. Through community partnerships and fundraising initiatives, we supplement regulated funding to maintain our high standards of care.

It's a great little space for the kids, and I like how the playground ia fenced. Everyone is very friendly and seem willing and eager to help.
