"Kids@ Churchill Park is a non-profit Calgary child care and family support agency providing quality child care and early learning opportunities to children of Calgary families. We have been both pioneers and leaders in this field for 50 years.
Our programs include community-, corporate- and school-based child care centres plus several dozen Calgary family day homes. We care for children from young infants to school age.
As a non-profit charitable agency, our mandate is to provide help over profiting. We support family life, healthy child development, and early learning, offering a broad program of care and rich, play-based learning opportunities to help working parents with the challenges of raising healthy children."
Our educational curriculum includes: Science, Math, Language Arts, Art, Monthly Virtues program, Monthly Environmental Awareness program, Spanish, sensorial experiences, Social skills, Drama, Dance, Music and Physical Education. The goal of the curriculum is to provide understanding and engagement in the joy of learning. The Edelweiss team use their knowledge of child development and the philosophy of the school as guiding principles in developing curriculum. The Edelweiss classroom is designed to stimulate the child’s cognitive, creative, and social development. Each child is encouraged to develop a healthy attitude toward living and learning. This is accomplished through creative activities and self-directed exploration of materials within a caring environment.
