Bowen Children’s Centre celebrates 40 years

Can you believe it? Forty years ago, in Gail Taylor's basement, Bowen Island Preschool was born out of a need for children to play and learn together.

Can you believe it? Forty years ago, in Gail Taylor's basement, Bowen Island Preschool was born out of a need for children to play and learn together. We have grown into multiple programs serving many, many families but our original vision has not changed - children have a thirst for playing and learning and we, at the children's centre, are dedicated to fulfilling that need. And during all those years, Bowen Island, you have endorsed and supported us.

Now, at 40 years old, we would like you to help us again - help us to celebrate . To all of the families and children who have attended the children's centre, volunteered, sat on the boards, built the building, and taught the children - it's time to party! Join us on June 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. for dancing and dessert. Come celebrate in our fabulous space at 650 Carter Road with Buff Allen, John Stiver, Tuen Schut, and many other musicians who have been associated with the preschool and the children's centre over the years.

We are creating a memory book and If you have a memory - be it funny, wonderful, dramatic, or profound - of your time at the preschool, the daycare, or the after school club, we have placed books for you to record it at Cocoa West, the Snug, Artisan Eats, Docs, the library, Phoenix, and the Building Centre or you could email your memory to info@bowenchildrenscentre.ca and we will add it for you.

Thank you,

The Board and Staff of Bowen Children's Centre
