**About Inquiring Little Minds**:
Inquiring Little Minds has been providing childcare services in British Columbia for the past 13 years, since 2011. We are hoping to expand by opening more centres in other parts of our community and province. Our centres provide a warm and nurturing environment, with a focus on providing reliable, trustworthy, and respectful services to meet the needs of the families and children in our communities that require childcare.

ILM facilities are dedicated to the provision of safe, well-managed childcare services for children that are provided by full-time and part-time, qualified staff. ILM's goal is to stimulate emotional growth, independent growth, intellectual growth, physical growth, and social growth amongst its charges. We follow curriculum-based programs exposing children to age appropriate developmental practice.

Our centres have beautiful outdoor spaces and nearby parks where the children are able to explore nature and learn through play. We offer great wages, paid educational upgrades, a great team to work with, medical and dental benefits, and having so many centres, there are lots of opportunities to advance in the company.
