Fun Learning Programs For Your Children

The Children’s Centre Non Profit Society

Established March 3, 1992

The Children’s Centre has been serving the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo for the past 33 years. The Children’s Centre evolved when gaps in existing services for children 0 to 5 years of age and their families, were identified within our community. The Children’s Centre, using a Headstart Framework for practice, focuses on strengthening and supporting families to assist in becoming independent in order to access services for their children. We provide a continuum of services for children 0 to 5 years of age. Existing services and programs are integrated into this continuum, with an emphasis on prevention, empowerment, advocacy, and community support.
