Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes, all families attending our programs must have an active Richmond Family Place Membership. Our membership costs $25 per year per family and runs from April to March. A family’s financial position is never a barrier to our programs and services, so a pay-what-you-can option is available for families who have spoken with a Family Support Worker. All families are required to become members so we can continue to provide low-cost or free programs, pay for our building costs, and provide high quality materials for our programs.

At Richmond Family Place, we host drop-in Play & Learn for caregivers to attend with their children aged 0-6 years old. Our drop-in programs happen at a variety of locations across Richmond.  While all our programs are drop-in based, meaning you do not need to pre-register, we do require all families to have an active Richmond Family Place Membership.

All our programs are facilitated in English, except for our Toddler Time for Chinese Speaking Families Program, which is facilitated in Mandarin or Cantonese. Our staff team can support you in a variety of languages including French, Arabic, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Tagalog.
