Best Places To Study Early Childhood Education In Calgary Near Me

4worldlovers: We know you want the best for your child, that’s why it is our mission to create a community where all children can grow and develop in a healthy and safe environment. Our early learning and child care programs are supported by educated professionals that promote our philosophy by:

Responding to children in ways that respect their rights and dignity

We care about you and your child. It is our goal to provide quality care by following children’s interests, best practices, employing educated staff, and following Alberta’s Flight curriculum.

We work hard to incorporate many features into our facility to help enrich the children’s experiences. Our centre currently has:

A large outdoor courtyard equipped with a dedicated working children’s garden, large custom sandbox, tricycles, wagons, and scooters.

Access to Mount Royal’s campus including the library, learning spaces, and gymnasiums

As children develop and grow, so do we. Even with a robust centre, we continually seek opportunities to enhance our facility.

We are proud to offer many evidence-based programs in our centre:

Before & After School Care at St. James and St. Augustine schools

All of our programs are built on a practice of relationships, collaboration, and an image of a strong and capable child.

Our programs may stay the same, but our learning doesn’t. Our unique relationship with Mount Royal University allows us to continually share and learn progressive knowledge and best practices with specialists from their Bachelor of Child Studies Degree Program, and the Child Development Lab. This exchange gives us the resources to encourage your child’s growth and development in the best way possible. By setting the bar high, it allows us to become a leader in the childcare profession.

We are a provincially licensed, non-profit child care centre governed by a board of directors. We operate closely with Mount Royal University and serve the families of Mount Royal students, faculty/staff, and the general public.

We currently have about 20 educators, a full-time cook, administrators and an executive director at our centre, with the majority being long-term staff.

Investing in and retaining highly skilled employees is one of our commitments to fostering a safe and caring environment for our families and children

Taking care of our employees plays a critical role in offering excellence in child care at our centre. We value the contributions of each employee. We offer above-average wages, health and wellness benefits, and professional development opportunities.

4worldlovers: At the University Child Care Centre (UCCC), we believe that play is imperative during the early years of a child's life. The need to imagine, create, explore and discover is at the core of a child and teaches them to relate to others and the world around them. Our goal is to provide an exemplary, inclusive program that supports and encourages the unique potential within each child. We do this by promoting the natural process of play in an enriched setting that provides optimal conditions for each child to grow, develop, and learn at his or her individual pace.

Our vision is to be the leaders in early learning and care and provide an environment that is dynamic for children, empowering for staff and values the partnership with our families.
