our story and values
Radiance Childcare Centre was created by and operates within the John Knox Christian School Association.
We seek to serve Christian families from the Lower Mainland and to service the families living in neighbourhoods throughout New Westminster. Radiance is a Christian faith-based centre that prepares children for a life of transformation and service through excellent Christ-centred care and learning. The centre is currently situated at Olivet Baptist Church at 613 Queens Ave, New Westminster, BC.
Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver high-quality childcare services that meet the current and emerging needs of individuals, families, and the community in all its diversity. We facilitate and empower collaborative community solutions to enable all children to reach their full potential. We lay the groundwork for children to learn how to serve and care for others. We cultivate a culture of trusting in the God of the Bible and loving our neighbours as ourselves.
