Between their growing Daycare and Grooming businesses, we found our cottage quickly bursting at the seams, and in November, 2000 they moved into a state-of-the-art 2400 sq. ft. facility a couple of hundred yards from the house. Their facility was designed specifically for doggie daycare by The Doggie Den owner, Susan LaDue, and was built by Northboro Commons, during the summer of 2000.They ‘re in the dog business becausethey love it. Susan was successful in more than one career before starting The Doggie Den, but dogs have always been her first love. Except for in The Grooming Salon, their doggie guests are always free to play, nap, chew, and observe their puppy pals. There are lots of beds, toys, chews, and open crates in the play areas.

It’s more work this way, since they don’t crate dogs involuntarily, but that’s the point! It’s the work that they love. Part of everyone’s job at The Doggie Den is playing with the dogs. We hang out with them – sometimes under piles of them – on the play area couches.The Doggie Den, they ‘re committed to enhancing the quality of your relationship with your dog. Exhausted when you come home from work? And your dog wants to play, play, play? Then doggie daycare was invented for you! At The Doggie Den, we make sure your dog gets a practiced balance of exercise, socialization, relaxation and enthusiastic cuddles. Their Dog Care Assistants will supervise your pup at all times.

Boat Daycare is a parent run childcare centre, located between Trout Lake Park and 12th Ave., in east Vancouver, BC Canada – four short blocks from the Commercial Skytrain Station.They currently offer Licensed Child Care for 3 to 5 year olds. Note that they can only accept applications from families living within our catchment area: west of Nanaimo St., east of Clark Ave., north of 18th St. and south of 1st Ave.Through an initiative offered by the provincial goverment in the 1970s a group of families put together a proposal for a parent-run group daycare. The proposal was accepted. Boat Daycare opened its doors in spring 1974, and was licensed by the City of Vancouver in 1976.

Because a large number of the families involved in the startup of our daycare were working on and around the docks of Vancouver, and because the first play structure we had was a boat donated to the centre, it became known as Boat Daycare. The boat is long gone, but the promise of a parent-run daycare is still alive and kicking.The original administration and operation of the daycare was divided between the board, the parents and three full-time staff.
