In 1993, the Recreation Society and our Society collaboarted to begin construction of a playground in Blenkin Park adjacent to the daycare - as a resource for the whole community.

Over the years, Quadra Daycare has grown in its capacity to serve the families and children of Quadra Island through pre-school, school age and summer recreation programs, as well as parent support and resources. Many people and organizations have contributed time funds, and specialized skills - enabling us to fulfill our dream of a model rural childcare centre.

For simplicity we most often refer to our service as Quadra Daycare but our official name is the Phil Thompson Memorial Society. Phil was a gracious old character who loved flowers and people, especially children. Phil passed away the year the daycare was opened so his name was entwined with the daycare's. His name will always remind us of our shared love for children.
