Services : Child Care Centre *

The CFIS Child Care Centre is an accredited, licensed, non-profit facility, serving families at Calgary French & International School since 1990.

Full-time care is available for children ages 3-6. We also provide modified days for children that attend classes in the school. Teachers and Child Care staff are accountable to bring children to/from the Child Care Centre.

The Child Care Centre is in full day operation summers for ages 3-5 years. During the summer we are planning to have field trips once a week to a variety of locations. Transportation is provided by the CFIS community-based bus service.

We also accommodate children with a Before\After School program (geared toward students attending the Calgary French & International School).

Licensing and Staff Background

The Child Care Centre and the Before and After School program are licensed under the ‘Social Care Facilities Licensing Act’. All staff have some type of post-secondary education in Child Care and are encouraged to continue to upgrade their training. Most staff are bilingual in French and everyone is required to go through a security clearance process and have a current Child Care First Aid and CPR certificate.

We now have our accreditation for the Child Care Centre through Alberta Association for the Accreditation of Early
Learning and Care Services (AELCS). Accreditation is a voluntary program which aims to improve quality of care. For more information, please read the AELCS brochure.

The Director has her diploma in Early Childhood Education and carries 13 years of experience in Child Care. Under the direction of the Director, every caregiver is responsible for meeting each child’s developmental needs (i.e. social, emotional, physical, cognitive and creative development) through appropriate daily programming that includes a variety of arts and crafts, group games, outdoor play opportunities as well as engaging in positive interaction during free play.

Facility

Our Child Care Centre facilities were specifically constructed to conform to the Alberta Day Care rules and regulations. To meet the expected hygiene and comfort levels required to meet the 80 children capacity, the facilities are fully equipped with laundry area, self-contained washrooms, and separate kitchen.

There are two connected spaces within the Child Care Centre that can be used to run separate activity programs for younger and older children.

Located on the main floor of the school, the Child Care Centre has a close-at-hand entrance for parents to drop off children in a safe environment to ensure security.
