Mission Statement
Committed to Excellence in Family Child Care and Early Learning
Philosophy
We provide support services to providers and parents that enable children to experience childhood in a safe, healthy, loving and stimulating environment where they can become happy, caring, capable, responsible and resilient.
Our mission is accomplished when each child is accepted, respected, listened
to, allowed developmentally appropriate choices and given opportunities to learn.
We believe family child care providers deserve recognition and support as they offer
a valuable service for our community. We believe the standards of care we have developed,
which includes those provided by the Government of Alberta’s Child and Family Services,
are basic to quality care. The Agency will do whatever is useful and possible to
promote child care which allows for each child’s optimum growth and development
and supports the parents in their family responsibilities.
