Every mother deserves a safe space to begin.
Cherub's Inn provides residential support, quality childcare, and a community that shows up — right here in Mission, BC.
A hand up, not just a hand out. Since opening our doors, Cherub's Inn has been a place where vulnerable mothers find more than shelter.
Families that come through our programs find community, guidance, and the tools to move toward independence.
Our three programs — the Maternity House, our licensed Daycare, and a growing Infant Care nursery — work together to support families at every stage.
Giving moms and babies the best start possible through our three branches of support.
Maternity House
A safe, supportive home for young and vulnerable mothers — before and after baby arrives. We provide housing, meals, prenatal support, life skills, and a caring community during one of life's most challenging seasons.
Registered Daycare
We offer nurturing, play-based learning for children from infants through Pre-K in a warm, faith-informed environment. Monday to Friday, 7am–6pm. Accepting registrations now.
Infant Care
We're expanding to serve even more families in the Fraser Valley. Our new Infant Care nursery will provide dedicated, expert care for our youngest community members.
Corine's Story
I was 18, he was 36. It started out as a carefree relationship. A few short months after dating, I found out I was pregnant.
I was terrified. I was 18 and moved out and my parents didn't even know I was dating let alone being intimate with someone.bFear gripped me, as I looked to him for help with this decision. He would play devil's advocate but really he was only advocating for not going through with this pregnancy.
In a moment all the morals that were instilled in me since I was little came flooding in. I couldn't believe I was even considering terminating my pregnancy. I have never felt so alone in my life as I did in that moment. During the procedure I remember thinking, I wish my mom was here.
A few months later, I was in the same predicament. Positive again. How did I get here again?
One night I was watching Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman. There was a scene where the mother tells the daughter "You will survive this; look at all that you survived before." In that moment I knew I was going to keep the baby. After the movie ended I prayed. I said, "Lord I am going to keep this baby, but I have 10 cents in the bank right now. So you need to provide for this baby. I need you."
Looking back, that moment in time when I was able to go back to my parents house, it really got me on solid ground. It's the reason I am the person I am today and the reason why the story ends differently than it could have.
Without that option, I would have stayed in a relationship out of necessity and not love. And no one should have to make that choice.
What I had, a safe place to land in a troubled time, shouldn't be a lucky thing or a privileged thing. Everyone deserves a place where they can get love and support for themselves and their little one as they figure out what's next.
I love encouraging moms that they are enough.
I love seeing them be all that they can be, including someone who can dream their dreams and attain them.
Cherub's Inn has been one of my dreams and it came out of a place of gratitude; I want every woman who finds herself in an unplanned pregnancy to have one of her options be a safe place to gather herself and get as prepared as possible for the journey ahead.
