What We Do
Our Childcare Services
Supporting Your Family with Licensed, Inclusive, and Play-Based Early Childhood Education
At Fledglings Educare Centre, great childcare means more than supervision. It means nourishing meals, inspiring environments, qualified educators, and a curriculum built on play — all wrapped in a community where every child truly belongs.
For All Ages
Care you can trust, every single day.
Quality care at Fledglings means your child is safe, seen, and supported from the moment they walk through the door. Our low educator-to-child ratios ensure that every child receives genuine, individualized attention — not just supervision.
We maintain consistent routines that give children the security and predictability they need to feel confident and explore freely. Families receive daily updates so you always know how your child’s day unfolded — the milestones, the laughter, and the little moments in between.
As a fully licensed childcare centre under Alberta regulations, every aspect of our care — from safety protocols to educator qualifications — meets or exceeds the standards required to keep your child in good hands.
Spaces designed for childhood.
The Environment
Our environments are thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity, support independence, and make every child feel at home. We believe the space itself teaches — so we fill it with natural materials, open-ended possibilities, and warmth.
Each room is organized to encourage children to make choices, take initiative, and explore freely. Age-appropriate furnishings, accessible materials, and cozy corners signal to children: this space is yours.
Outdoors, our secure play areas offer daily opportunities for movement, gardening, nature walks, and the kind of unstructured play that research shows is essential for healthy development.
Nourishing little bodies and big curiosity.
Balanced Meals
Good food matters. At Fledglings, snack and meal times are more than just refuelling — they’re social moments, cultural celebrations, and opportunities for children to explore new flavours, textures, and traditions from around the world.
We provide nutritious snacks that support children’s energy and focus throughout the day. Our menus reflect the diverse backgrounds of our families, introducing children to foods from different cultures in a warm, inclusive setting.
Sitting together, sharing food, and enjoying a meal as a community — it’s one of the simplest and most powerful things we do each day.
A framework built on how children actually learn.
Alberta’s Flight Curriculum
🎮 Play as Learning
Play is not a break from learning — it is how children learn. Every activity, every mess, every moment of discovery is intentional and meaningful.
🌿 Outdoor Exploration
Children need fresh air, open space, and nature. Daily outdoor experiences build physical health, problem-solving, and a lifelong love of the natural world.
🧪 Sensory Discovery
Rice bins, water tables, sand, and loose parts aren’t just fun — they’re building the neural pathways that support creativity, focus, and early math and science.
🤝 Social-Emotional Growth
Learning to share, manage feelings, and build friendships is just as important as ABCs. We nurture the whole child — heart, mind, and body.
🗣️ Language & Literacy
Through stories, songs, conversation, and the languages children bring from home, we lay rich foundations for communication and a love of reading
💡 Inquiry & Curiosity
When children wonder, we help them find out. Inquiry-based learning follows children’s questions and makes every day a genuine adventure.
The right people make all the difference.
Great Educators
Our educators are the heart of everything we do. They are qualified, caring, and deeply committed to each child’s growth — not because it’s their job, but because they genuinely love it.
Our team comes from around the world, bringing with them diverse languages, cultural traditions, and early childhood expertise that you won’t find anywhere else in Calgary. This diversity is not incidental — it’s intentional. We built our team this way because we believe children deserve educators who reflect the world they live in.
Every educator at Fledglings meets Alberta’s professional requirements, and many exceed them. We invest in ongoing professional development to ensure our team is always growing — just like the children in their care.
A summer your child will talk about all year.
Summer Camps
School’s out — but the learning never stops. Our summer childcare program turns the break into an adventure, with weekly themes, outdoor excursions, splash days, science experiments, and multicultural celebrations that keep children active, curious, and connected.
Every week brings something new. From splash parks and bike rides to picnics and community walks, summer at Fledglings is anything but ordinary. Groups stay small so every child gets individual attention and the care they deserve.
Summer camps are available to school-age children and are a favourite for families who want enriching, reliable care during the school break.
