Child Care Centre

Swan River First Nation Daycare

Welcome Message

The Swan River Apisis Acahkos Child Care Center offers an enriched environment in which children can grow, focusing on their social, emotional, physical, cultural, and cognitive development.

Our program strives to be an extension of the family, working toward the same goals and objectives of child-rearing. We believe in nurturing strong cultural identity, curiosity, and community connection from an early age.

Swan River First Nation Daycare is a safe, nurturing, and culturally grounded environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Our program supports early childhood development through play-based learning, Indigenous teachings, and a focus on emotional, social, and cognitive growth.
