Creō Kids is an enriching, licensed child care program through the Fraser Health Authority, offering an artistic, creative, and safe space for children ages 5-12. Located at 1253 Johnston Rd, adjacent to White Rock Elementary, our program serves the South Surrey/White Rock community, with a maximum capacity of 19 children per day. We strive to keep child care affordable by accepting ACCB (Affordable Child Care Benefit) and participating in the BC CCFRI (Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative).

Program Overview: Our art-focused camps are designed to spark creativity and imagination in children while providing a balanced mix of studio time and outdoor activities. Each day presents a new artistic adventure, with children exploring a variety of art mediums and techniques over the course of two weeks. Our daily schedule also includes free playtime, where kids can enjoy arts and crafts, building with Lego, reading, playing games, and working on puzzles.

Facilities & Environment: Our 1200 square foot studio is a vibrant space for children to explore their creative potential, and we take advantage of the playgrounds and fields across the street at White Rock Elementary for outdoor activities. Whether indoors or outdoors, children are encouraged to express themselves while staying active and engaged.

Safety & Care: Each day a minimum of two supervisors will be on duty, with all having completed criminal record checks, as well as the Responsible Adult and Emergency Child Care First Aid & CPR courses, as required by Fraser Health. We ensure that each child receives the care and attention they need, with supervised lunch and snack breaks throughout the day.

At Creō Kids, every day is an opportunity for your child to discover, create, and play in a nurturing and supportive environment.

***Before registering, familiarize yourself with our policies as stated below thoroughly to ensure our camp will be the right fit for your family

POLICIES

THE RIGHT FIT

As our camp is centered around arts and crafts, it's essential that your child has an interest in these activities to fully enjoy the experience. Children who are not engaged in or excited about art may not find the camp enjoyable, and we want to ensure every child has a positive, fulfilling time with us. If your child has a passion for creativity and hands-on activities, they’ll love our camp! However, if arts and crafts aren’t a fit for their interests, this may not be the best experience for them.

Our camps are designed to focus primarily on creativity and artistic expression, and may not be the best fit for children who are highly energetic or in need of intense physical activity. While we do offer outdoor play sessions 2 to 3 times a day, our program is not structured around sports or vigorous physical activity. Children who thrive in environments with more physical engagement might find our camps less fulfilling, and their high energy could inadvertently disrupt the experience for others. If your child is looking for a more active, sports-focused environment, another camp might be a better match

Our camps are designed for children who are physically and mentally able to engage in age-appropriate activities both in the studio and outdoors. Children must also be able to use the washroom independently and do not require one-on-one supervision.

PAYMENT & FEES

Payment in full is due at the time of registration. Base fees are based on a 6 hour day, early drop off and late pick up is by the hour. All art supplies used during camp/class is included in our fees.

ACCB (Affordable Child Care Benefit)

If you are eligible and will be applying for ACCB (Affordable Child Care Benefit) it is the parent/guardians responsibility to acquire and submit to us the appropriate forms to complete on our end. The parent/guardian is responsible for submitting the completed documents to the government for approval. Once approved and we have received confirmation and funds we will issue a reimbursement for the approved amount.

AGE REQUIREMENT

All children must be of the appropriate age according to the class/camp title on the first day of class/camp - No exceptions. Children must be between the ages of 5-12 years and be enrolled in Kindergarten to grade 5.

SAFETY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & AGREEMENT

The safety of your child, as well as that of others, is our top priority. By enrolling your child in Creō Art Studio & Creō Kids programs, you confirm that your child does not have any physical, emotional, or social conditions that would make participation unsafe.

Additionally, to ensure a safe environment for everyone, we ask that your child refrain from running while in the art studio or while traveling to and from the playground. Running in these areas poses a risk to both your child and others. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.

BEHAVIOUR

At our camp, we expect all children to treat others with kindness and respect, and to handle our studio environment and materials with care. We strive to create a positive, supportive atmosphere for all campers.

In the event of behavioral issues, we reserve the right to contact parents for immediate pick-up. Please note that no refunds or credits will be issued for children sent home due to behavior-related concerns.

SNACKS & LUNCH

We encourage all families to send their children along with healthy snacks and water bottles. For full day care please provide a nutritious lunch and adequate snacks. We do not provide meals and we are a NUT FREE facility.

CLOTHING

Students are asked to dress informally with casual, loose, and comfortable clothing. Appropriate outdoor attire based on the weather must be brought to camp as we spend time on the playground and outdoors daily. We provide aprons to protect clothing and we also love to have fun and get messy! Ensure your child is properly dressed for Creō – this means wearing shoes and clothing that is ok to get dirty.
