Campbell River Young Parents’ Program (CRYPP)
The Campbell River Young Parents' program (CRYPP) consists of four components: education, child care, health and support, and is designed to assist parenting students achieve high school graduation while meeting the needs of their infant and toddlers. We believe that a strong partnership between each of the four components and the parents of the CRYPP is essential. This partnership creates an environment in which parents can meet the demands of day-to-day life while working towards their educational goals and brightening the future for themselves and their families.
Programs Offered
Quality licensed group care at Cari's Infant and Toddler Centre for up to 24 children aged newborn to 36 months, including snacks, lunch and a cloth diaper service. There are also snacks and some meals for parents. Fees for children of qualifying young parents are paid in full by the MCFD Child Care Subsidy Program.
