About Us:

Atira Women's Resource Society, an award-winning nonprofit organization known for its inclusionary hiring practices and where a job is more than a pay cheque.

We believe child care should foster the development of the whole child – socially, physically, intellectually, creatively and emotionally and it is with these principles in mind that we designed Willow Early Care & Learning Centre, our inclusive licensed child care centre in Richmond, BC.
