The concept of play is at the very core of Wendy’s House. The connections between make-believe play and early language and literacy development are well supported in research.
Additionally, children exercise both social and emotional self-regulation when they have to wait their turn or share toys. In fact, children often show greater self-regulation during play than at other times. When visiting please bring your child’s ID (birth certificate, status card, BC ID, or passport) with you when you come to play.

Wendy’s House is named in memory of Wendy Erickson, who was an early learning advocate and coordinator for the school district. It was her dream to develop a play centre in the Cowichan Valley that was modeled after Munchkinland in Parksville. Look for her picture inside the centre.
