Our Vision: Where Igniting Children’s Potential is Our Passion

Kids@ Churchill Park is a non-profit child care and family support agency providing quality child care and early learning opportunities to Calgary families. We have been both pioneers and leaders in this field for 50 years. Our 7 programs include 6 group child care centres, 1 out of school child care centres, and approximately 40 family day homes. We serve the child care needs of children from young infants to school age. As a non-profit charitable agency it is our mandate to support family life, healthy child development, and early learning. Within each licensed centre and approved Day Home, Kids@ Churchill Park works hard to exceed provincial standards in all areas. We invest in quality programs and services that enhance a child’s development, and promote a child’s well-being through program services and an emergent curriculum that builds upon the imagination and potential of each child. Kids@ Churchill Park teams are deeply committed to their own professional learning so that they can continue to offer the best in child care.
