BC CHRISTIAN Academy (BCAA), a faith-based K-12 school in Port Coquitlam, has reopened its preschool and daycare programs.

The school was forced to change locations when its lease expired in summer 2008. It is renting the former Lincoln Elementary School site in Port Coquitlam, and its new facilities are in some ways an improvement over its former site.

This is the first time the school has had a building all to itself, and the facilities are large enough to allow the school to grow.

However, the move meant the school had to reapply for permits for its daycare. Infrastructure, from water and electricity to fire lanes, all had to be inspected, upgraded and approved. The process took a year, but the school is now back in the swing of things.

They are ready for admissions in all three of their programs: a Group Daycare for children 2.5 to 5 years old; a Preschool Program for children aged 3 to 5, which includes more structured learning; and an Out of School program, which cares for children before and after school, and on professional development days.

BCCA is also licensed to run an Infant and Toddler program for children up to 36 months old, and is currently looking for suitable licensed staff who will be able to provide the level of care that goes with this position.

Once the infant and toddler program is in place, BCCA will be able to provide students a complete education – from infancy to graduation.
