LELUM'UY'LH CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTRE
Lelum’uy’lh Child
Development Centre offers a wide variety of activities and services
to the children of Cowichan Tribes members, ages 0 to
4. Lelum’uy’lh is unique in two
respects: It is an Infant/Toddler Care, Day Care,
Pre-School, and Special Needs service all rolled into one; and
incorporates Cowichan teachings into music, art, storytelling,
taught in both Hul’qumi’num and
English.
Lelum’uy’lh started with eight
children, as a joint project between Malaspina University-College
and Cowic  han Tribes in 1991. In
1994, Cowichan Tribes took over sole responsibility and
participation increased to 35. In 2004, the Centre
provided service for over 140 children.
Lelum’uy’lh Child Development
Centre staff all have Early Childhood Education diplomas, some with
specialization in infant/toddler and special needs.
