- Open 7:30am
Rosedale sits east of our Greendale centre, and for families there the drive is refreshingly simple: Highway 1 west to Exit 116 at Lickman Rd, then Yale Rd West to Sumas Prairie Rd. It’s a highway nearly the whole way, with no stop-and-go through the middle of Chilliwack, which often makes it quicker and calmer than it looks on a map. Many Rosedale parents are heading west on the #1 in the morning anyway, so we’re barely a detour.
Why Rosedale families choose us
That clean route matters day to day. A predictable highway drive is far easier to build a morning around than a crawl through town traffic, and it means pickup at the end of the day is just as straightforward. Doors open at 7:30, so families with early commutes or longer drives further west still have plenty of room in their morning.
What Rosedale families find at the end of the drive is a small, calm, consistent centre: a group of up to sixteen, the same educators every day, and a morning preschool block built into full-day care. That combination of genuine early education and dependable full-day care, reached by an easy highway run, is exactly what many families are looking for.
