Licensed Preschool in Morden, MB

Preschool in Morden

Pembina Valley Child Care runs two of Morden's six licensed listings, its Discovery and Westview sites, and both are licensed for infants and preschoolers. Two sites, one operator. Morden Community Child Care Centre is the third centre here with infant places. None of the six carries a rating. That is normal across rural Manitoba, where our records hold Google ratings for 238 providers out of 1,115 province-wide, and it means the comparison below rests on licensing data and on what you see when you visit. There is no shortcut.

What to know about childcare in Morden

Five of the six are centres and one, Shelly Simoens, is a licensed family home. Home-based care carries more of the load in Manitoba than in most provinces, at just under 29 percent of all licensed providers, so a single dayhome in a town of 9,000 is on the low side and the centre waiting lists end up absorbing demand that would spread across several homes elsewhere in the province. Small Wonders Community Nursery School and Hive Site round out the list.

Manitoba capped parent fees at $10 a day in April 2023 for children under school age, and the cap applies at every licensed centre and every licensed home on this page. Price is off the table. What remains is location, opening hours, infant capacity and how long the waiting list runs, and on that last question Morden is like the rest of the Pembina Valley in that the honest answer is long.

Our records show infant places at five of the six and preschool at all six. The toddler band is not populated for Manitoba providers in our data, so its absence here carries no meaning at all and should not be read as a gap in service. Ignore the blank. Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning publishes licensed capacity by age group, and that is the source to use.
