The Corporation of the Town of Cochrane operates two child care facilities:
Cochrane Child Care Centre; located at 435 Tenth Avenue. Garde D’Enfants de Cochrane; a Francophone child care centre located at 399 8th Street in the Nouveau Regard School.
We provide a child-centered, safe, caring and nurturing environment that encourages, stimulates and fosters a child's self-esteem and growth. We believe that child care facilities should provide the highest quality of child care programs. Please browse our Parent Handbook or come in for a tour!

The Centre is a licensed integrated child care centre with a qualified resources teacher on staff. This resource teacher helps to develop and implement strategies and programs to assist children with special needs.
