A Place Where
Children Thrive
and Families Belong.

KMB Child Care Centre was founded by KMB & WMB Churches to provide faith based child care to the Kitchener community. We aim to show Jesus to our community by providing quality child care, cultivating a foundation of faith, kindness and curiosity.

About Us

KMB Child Care Centre is being established as a ministry of KMB Church in Kitchener, in partnership with WMB Church. We are building a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment where the youngest members of our community can learn, grow, and flourish.

Our centre will operate from a foundation of care, intentionality, and community. We believe every child deserves high-quality early learning in a place that honours their whole self — mind, body, and spirit.

As a licensed child care centre registered with Region of Waterloo's One List, we are committed to transparency, accessibility, and the highest standards in early childhood education.

Rooted in community, built for families
