McLeod Community Early Learning and Child Care Centre in Edmonton daycare openings, reviews and ratings

Daycare description / philosophy

McLeod Community Early Learning and Child Care Centre is a program of Steele Heights Baptist Church that was founded to meet a gap in services for families in the McLeod Community. In 2007, the need for safe, affordable, and quality OSC was identified and in 2018 the need for Early Learning and child care was identified in the McLeod Community. The result is McLeod Community Early Learning and Care center; based on five components:

Inspiring learning, growth and healthy development (SPICES)
Developing self-help and life skills
Building healthy relationships
Exploring our environment, our community and creative arts
Nurturing Young Faith
Children learn through play, they need to explore materials, their environment and space to make sense of their world. Play is work to a child. The program is Reggio inspired, therefore the environment is the third teacher. As Educators collaborate with the families and the community, the children will enjoy a richer and fuller experience. As a part of the journey with the children the curriculum framework will be incorporated into the program: play, participation and possibilities. The educators play an important role as they are learners and researchers alongside the children.

Our programs are licensed by Alberta Children’s and Family Services and our Out of School Care program is accredited by the Alberta Association for the Accreditation of Early Learning and Care Services.

We are located in the Steele Heights Baptist Church building. Across the street from the center is McLeod School’s playground! Your children will enjoy plenty of outdoor play and activities. They will also learn more about the culture and enjoy the attractions of Edmonton on our regular field trips throughout the city when school is not in session.
