Richmond Child Care Resource & Referral

* Rain or Shine

Richmond Family Place is a Family Resource program that offers Drop in Programs for families with children ages 0-12 years old. The mission is to ‘Ensure Every Child in Richmond Reaches Their Full Potential’. They empower and strengthen children and families through innovative prevention and support programs.

The Family Support Workers help support and guide care givers and children as they play together and are also able to help you navigate any of your parenting questions. They are knowledgeable about community resources and can direct you to information and services within the greater Richmond Community. If you would like to talk to a family support worker you can call them at 604.278.4336 ext. 105 or email them at fsw@richmondfamilyplace.ca they would be happy to chat or meet with you to answer any of your questions.

You can also find out all about them at www.richmondfamilyplace.ca and follow them on Facebook and Instagram where they post regular updates and news.

Richmond Family Place is a membership based organization. They ask all families to become members (talk to the staff when you first visit). Membership fees help them to pay for the building costs and keep the playrooms stocked with great quality resources. Membership costs $25 a year per family (or Pay-What-You-Can). They 
don’t want membership costs to be a barrier for anyone, so talk to staff if you need a little help!

The playrooms will look a little different than before the pandemic. Adhering to their Health & Safety protocols has caused them to adapt and change their environment. They appreciate your patience and adaptability as they navigate the ongoing challenges. A portion of every program will include outdoor activities and so it is still really important to make sure that all family members are dressed for outdoor play.

Here is what you need to know before joining them indoors:

• Adults will no longer be required to wear a face mask while in programs. However, wearing a mask is strongly recommended
• Families will continue to enter the programs through the side gate before entering the playrooms. You will find a doorbell located outside the fence. Ring the bell and a staff will come and assist you with sign in & hand sanitizing.
• There will be a 40-person maximum capacity in the playrooms (children & adults combined). When the program is full a **STOP** sign will be posted outside the garden gate and in front of the main doors to let families know the program is full.
• There will be no access to other areas inside the main building, except the washrooms.
• Please dress for the weather. All programs will include outdoor time.
