Edmonton Northwest Early Learning & Child Care Centre
Our Centre is located in the heart of the Inglewood community and provides quality care for children aged 12 months to 6 years old. Our Centre's philosophy is founded on the idea that all children are active citizens with the right to engage and explore their environment in meaningful ways.
Our staff are highly trained and participate in continued professional development to stay current on trends and best practices in the Early Learning field. Our Centre partners with many other agencies in the Inglewood Community to provide Family and Community Support.
Childcare Programming & Philosophy
Our learning environments are thoughtfully designed to inspire inquiry and socialization among our children. There are many opportunities for our children to learn and to explore various indoor and outdoor settings. Our inclusive practices honour children of all abilities, respecting them all as strong and capable members of our program and society.
Our Centre provides 2 healthy snacks and lunch based on current recommendations of the Canadian Food Guide. Active living and a healthy lifestyle are promoted both with our educators and the children they nurture through play and physical activity.
We have staff who have won awards and continue to contribute to the childcare profession, including a winner of the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Early Childhood Education.
Family Involvement & Community Partnerships
We believe and foster the philosophy that families are the most informed educator in a child's life. Family involvement creates a seamless network of care that supports a child’s growth and learning at home and at our Centre.
Our Centre supports the family unit with regular programming and celebrations. These events engage not only the child but also the family in building a strong community as we discover and explore together.
Partnerships with families are supported by regular communication through daily conversations, newsletters, parent committees, and volunteer opportunities.
