Our Child Care Philosophy

Summit Community Services Society (formerly the Child Care Society for the East Kootenay) has been offering care programs for children for many years and is committed to providing the very best quality care for your child. We believe that each child is special and has unique, individual needs and that all children are entitled to an environment that provides them with safe, healthy, and loving care, and promotes trust, respect, and self-worth. We believe in providing holistic programs and activities that foster all areas of development.
