We believe in creating a harmonious learning community where children thrive.
We do this by applying the research on early childhood development to provide enriched experiences in a fun, healthy and holistic learning environment. The children become part of a community with their peers, educators and other EduCentre families.
Competent, warm, accepting, genuine, knowledgeable and respectful educators support the children’s motivation to learn. A cozy, home-like environment helps children feel safe and at ease.
Outdoor play is vital to learning, and the natural world is an intrinsic part of an inspired childhood. We spend time outside daily as much as possible.
Why Choose EduCentre?
Love, Belonging, Community
Connecting to the children with love, understanding and positive attention is the best way to support their developmental growth. That is done by the people that interact with your child everyday. They are long term, educated and committed.
The people are the difference.
Educated, Long Term Staff
Our Educators specialize in Early Childhood Learning and Child Care and are certified at the highest levels, as Early Childhood Educator 3’s. We exceed regulations and uphold a minimum requirement for all educators to participate in continuing education annually. We are passionate about learning and it shows.
Quality Programs
We have been recognized in excellence for a higher level of quality programming, staff qualifications and policy development by the Accreditation of Early Learning and Childcare Services. We were voted Calgary’s Favourite Daycare for 2019 in Metro News Community Choice Awards.
Low Ratios
We have many educators available to provide the optimal care for your child. Our team is supported by two educated, experienced Directors, a Developmental Assistant and additional support staff. Our classroom sizes are smaller, which means your child gets more one on one attention.
Specialized Curriculums
We follow the Early Learning and Child Care Curriculum framework for Alberta, with influence from the Reggio, Learning through Play and Emergent Curriculum Models. We are constantly learning about new models of curriculum and are applying what we learn to ensure your child receives the best education possible.
Local, Community Links
We have community connections going back over 30 years. We are proud to work with programs such as Supported Childcare, The Alberta Children’s Hospital, Providence Childcare, The Calgary Public Library and many more. We invite family members (grandparents, aunts, special vistors) to come join us to read to the children in our Reading Buddies program.
Our Programs
Learning through play is the foundation of the curriculum at EduCentre.
Learning through play has been a leading model for early education for many generations. The program builds on play activities through guidance and interactions with educators.
Each program varies slightly with the age and capabilities of the children.
