XaXe STELITKEL Headstart Program
About
XaXe SŦELIṮḴEL ̵ Childcare Centre, which means “sacred children” in the Sencoten language, recognizes that children are gifts from the Creator and these youngsters will be our future leaders. XaXe SŦELIṮḴEL ̵Childcare Centre programs provide a culturally appropriate space for children of all Nations to grow and identify with their Indigenous roots.
Our centre offers a “hands on” approach to learning and the program is designed to enhance children’s creativity, interdependence, independence, and to expand self-expression. The XaXe SŦELIṮḴEL Childcare staff encourages children to think for themselves, make decisions, and work towards positive outcomes. They also acknowledge that each child is unique and works with the child’s own patterns of social, emotional, spiritual, and physical development, giving them the opportunity for success in the academic world.
Waitlist open at this time.

Headstart Program Overview
When XaXe SŦELIṮḴEL Childcare Centre is at full capacity, we will run an active waitlist of a total of 35 children. We will cap our waitlist at 20 applications. Before you mail or drop off your application, please check our website to ensure we are accepting new registrations.
If you are on our waitlist, it is the caregiver’s responsibility to keep in contact with the centre to ensure the application is “active.” We ask caregivers to do a periodic check in via email (daycare@vnfc.ca) and if we have not heard from you within a year of applying, we will consider the file “inactive.”
When a spot comes available the applicants will be contacted on a first come, first serve basis. The applicant will have 2 business days to respond before the centre moves on to the next applicant and the initial applicant will be placed at the bottom of the list.
XaXe STELITKEL does give priority to childcare staff, VNFC staff and siblings who are already attending the centre and people of Indigenous ancestry.
Our Fees
If you are of Indigenous ancestry there is no fee for the XaXe STELITKEL Headstart Program.
Non-Indigenous participants pay $200/month.
