Helping families navigate early years services in the Alberni Valley and the West Coast

Who we are

Pacific Rim Children and Families is the early learning branch of Pacific Rim School District. It is a team effort of Pacific Rim District staff, Pacific Rim Children and Family staff, community partners, and families working together to create a positive impact through the sharing of time, money, expertise, staff, volunteers and space.  We recognize that every path is the right path for families, and through various onsite and outreach programming we strive to enhance connections, with families, early care and learning professionals, primary educators and community partners. We are breaking down silos to best serve the families in our communities. 

Pacific Rim Children and Families is physically located at The Family Hub at EJ Dunn Elementary School.  The Family Hub is a one stop shop for supports and services.  This is a welcoming second home for families to connect with each other and family supports.
