Child Minding

You play while they play.

We are pleased to provide our members and day pass users with Child Minding services while you use the Centre.

Child Minding services are available for kids ages 2 months to 10 years old and are included in all annual memberships.

We use a pre-booking system for all children, which includes an online booking option.

How to Book

• Book Online: Visit our Online Registration Services page to book your Child Minding time through MyRec. Once your time is booked, an email confirmation will be sent to you.
• Visit: Stop by our Customer Service Desk during business hours

Please note: Child Minding must be booked in the child’s name –i.e. each child in your family/group will need a unique email address and log in separately to complete the booking process. Fortunately, we have a how-to for creating new MyRec accounts if required. View How-To’s

Booking Times

Please note: We have a 1.5 hour max time limit from the start of your booking time, not your arrival time. Child Minding is closed on holidays.
