The Children’s Centre

Non Profit Society

The Children’s Centre was established as a Non-Profit Society on March 03, 1992. 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 Homestart/Headstart Framework for practice, focuses on strengthening and supporting families in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo to assist the families 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.

Vision Statement

The Children’s Centre

To continue to provide quality sustainable programs and services under the umbrella of The Children’s Centre. To continue to evaluate, monitor and modify the quality and effectiveness of existing programs.

The health and well-being of parents has the potential to influence child functioning. Encouraging parents to participate and become actively involved in their child’s education and development is essential for a healthy family and healthy community. At an early childhood level, Headstart program assists parents to buy into their children’s education so that they will continue their participation thoughout their child’s school years.
