Family Style Care

Each independent dayhome under our agency offers a warm, home-based, family style child care option in a small group setting. Our dedicated staff members will work with you to determine your family’s needs and match you with a provider for your child’s “home away from home”.

Our educators strive to follow FLIGHT: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework, fostering curiosity, play, and meaningful learning experiences every day.

Childcare Funding

Licensed dayhome care through KP² provides access to provincial childcare affordability supports. Families may qualify for funding through the Affordability Grant and/or Subsidy, helping reduce the cost of care.

Our educators also benefit from monthly wage top-ups and access to professional development funding, ensuring they’re supported, valued, and fairly compensated for the essential work they do in our community.
