The Westlock Community Daycare is excited to have been named one of 22 Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) Centres across Alberta.

 

What we offer

 

To be selected as an Early Learning and Child Care Centre, we were tasked with making improvements that go above and beyond other child care programs. Our program uses an evidence-based *child care curriculum framework. This program was developed by early learning and child care educators, early childhood academics, government, and professionals working in related fields. It is designed to foster improved early childhood development outcomes so your child can get the best possible start to life.

​

Starting May 1, 2017, we will also offer:

• More child care spaces,

• Capped parent fees at $25/day care,

• Inclusive supports for children with diverse needs,

• Flexible child care hours for parents who work shift work or attend school;

​
