ProducKIDvity Acquires Building Blocks Educare

Locally owned and operated, ProducKIDvity has acquired the Sutherland Avenue location of Building Blocks Educare and will begin operations on April 1, 2023.

Building Blocks Educare will close its doors on February 28, 2023 after nearly 15 years in business. Building Blocks explored options including lease renewal and new locations but determined that losing the Gordon Drive location meant starting over, which was not feasible for the organization. Families with children currently at the Sutherland Avenue location have first right of refusal to receive childcare from ProducKIDvity. There will be no interruption in care for those families that choose ProducKIDvity for childcare. 

"At ProducKIDvity, quality childcare is at the heart of our business and we are thrilled to expand in the Kelowna market to continue to serve even more families." - says Alex Carnio, Founder and CEO of ProducKIDvity.

"Given the trust and relationships ProducKIDvity fosters with families, we have full confidence that the expansion will increase quality childcare in the local market and offer more choice to Kelowna families."

ProducKIDvity says they are actively working to secure space for the Building Blocks families who will be without care, as well as many of the families in Kelowna who are desperately searching for quality childcare.

"Although it is sad to see Building Blocks Educare close their doors, we are pleased to be able to provide an option of continuity for the families of the Sutherland Avenue location through this acquisition."
