Warm, inclusive childcare in Old Strathcona and the University area — thoughtfully designed for children of all abilities.
Edmonton Quality Childcare has been caring for Edmonton families since 2013. We are committed to inclusive childcare and work alongside FSCD to help include and support children of all abilities. We believe every child thrives with nutritious food, adequate rest, meaningful play and warm, knowledgeable caregivers.
We partner closely with families: our program is built on the Pyramid Model, an evidence-based framework that supports healthy social and emotional development for every child, at every stage.
Every family receives the same nurturing, inclusive approach to care — whichever location is closer to home.
From their first days with us through the transition to kindergarten, each program is built around what children at that stage genuinely need.
Close attention and low ratios during the most delicate stage of development, with routines shaped around each baby's own observations and cues.
