About Inquiring Little Minds (ILM Education Centre, Edith McDermott Elementary site)


On Edith McDermott Elementary grounds.

Inquiring Little Minds runs its before and after school program right on the grounds of Edith McDermott Elementary at 12178 Bonson Road, in the South Bonson end of Pitt Meadows. That location matters for families: kids stay on familiar school property for drop-off and pick-up instead of being shuttled across town, and the program slots in around the regular school day rather than competing with it.

The centre operates under the ILM Education Centre name, and its offering is built around the practical needs of working parents: supervised care before the bell rings and again once the school day ends, along with activities to fill that time. Details on specific hours, age groups, and enrolment can shift from term to term, so anyone planning around it should call (250) 585-7898 directly to confirm current availability and whether space is open for new registrations. For South Bonson households already sending kids to Edith McDermott, having care built into the same site removes one of the bigger daily logistics headaches, no second address to manage, no separate bus or car trip. It is a narrow, specific service: on site, tied to one elementary school, aimed at the stretch of hours around the school day rather than full day care. Families outside that catchment or looking for infant or toddler spots will want a different kind of provider, but for parents already in the Edith McDermott system, this is about as convenient as before and after school care gets in Pitt Meadows.
