Nobel Park Child Care Centre Opens in Wesbrook Place

The new Nobel Park Child Care Centre in UBC’s Wesbrook Place Neighbourhood opened on April 15, adding much-needed licensed child care spaces for UBC’s residential community.

The project is supported in part by the ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund, which is jointly supported by provincial and federal investments under the Canada-British Columbia Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.  The new centre delivers 37 licensed spaces for children aged 0–5, including infant/toddler and preschool care.

Operated by the University Neighbourhoods Association (UNA) in partnership with YMCA BC, the centre builds on a strong, community-based model that prioritizes high-quality, inclusive, and affordable child care.

With the addition of the Nobel Park centre, UBC continues to expand its neighbourhood child care network, helping meet demand and advancing long-term targets to increase child care capacity across campus.

The new centre is part of UBC’s Child Care Expansion Plan, which integrates child care into neighbourhood and campus growth to support a growing population.

Located within a residential development in the UBC neighbourhoods, the Nobel Park centre reflects a coordinated approach to delivering child care through partnerships between UBC, the UNA, UBC Properties Trust, and YMCA BC.
