Hi All,

My family and I are potentially looking to move from Richmond to Vancouver. I have a couple of questions;

1) Supported Childcare – my son currently has an aide in his Richmond preschool funded by Supported Child/Richmond Society For Community Living. If we move to the Vancouver District, what do I need to do to secure the funding for an aide in an Vancouver preschool? Do I have to reapply?

2) SW Marine Drive – we are looking into living in the SW Marine Dr area…approx. 64th and Granville Street. Does anyone know of any good preschools in South Vancouver that supports ABA teaching methods?

If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. My phone # is (604)484-7810. My email is micky.so@maxxium.com cheers, Micky
