At the Day Care Society of Edson, we are dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children can grow, learn, and explore. Our goal is to support the development of children in our community by offering high-quality care, early education, and a place where both children and parents feel welcome.

​

Our Mission

Our mission is to create an inclusive space that supports the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development of every child. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and community while encouraging each child to thrive in their own unique way. We are committed to partnering with families and providing a foundation for lifelong learning.

​

Our Vision

We envision a community where children are empowered to reach their full potential, guided by caring and qualified educators. By offering early childhood care programs that focus on play-based learning, creativity, and exploration, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of children and their families.

​

What We Offer

​

• Safe and supportive environment: We ensure every child feels loved, respected, and valued. We actively seek support from specialized services, such as the Kids Included Program (formally GRIT), when working with children with exceptionalities. This helps ensure we are providing the best and safest environment possible for all children.

​

• Engaging programs based on The Flight Framework: Our educational philosophy is grounded in the Flight Curriculum, a play-based approach that emphasizes children’s natural curiosity and learning through exploration. We are proud to incorporate the principles of this framework into our daily programs, ensuring that our children are not only cared for but also actively engaged in rich, meaningful learning experiences.

​

• Certified, experienced and caring staff: Our dedicated team of early childhood educators is certified and trained to meet the needs of children at every developmental stage. We continuously support our educators' growth by offering additional training through resources like The Alberta Resource Centre for Quality Enhancement (ARCQE), which provides a wealth of professional development opportunities to enhance the skills and knowledge of our team.​​​​​
