P.L.A.Y. Community Child Development Centre

PLAY is a licensed, not-for-profit daycare located in the Kensington area of Calgary. Our daycare accommodates 64 children, ranging in age from 6 months to 6 years.

At PLAY, families and community are the key to our program’s success- the centre operates as a partnership between a the leadership team and volunteer-based board of directors, and has been for more than 40 years!

We believe that children thrive when they grow in a community of caring and nurturing relationships. We emphasize learning through PLAY and have adopted FLIGHT: Alberta’s Early Learning Curriculum Framework to shape our work with the children both inside and outside of the classroom.

We see children as competent, capable citizens who deserve the opportunity to interact with the world around them with wonder, curiosity and imagination. We aim to develop a love for learning and support children to engage with the world around them with a sense of expansiveness and openness. We believe that what happens in childhood creates a ripple effect of possibilities for a bright future for all.

The P.L.A.Y. Core Values:
Belonging - We are a second home for children, teachers and families. Our relationships are formed based on love, care and nurturing connections.

Connection - We are better together. We foster strong partnerships with children, teachers, families and the community.

Play - We embrace the inspiration that comes from imagination. We choose to be joyful, happy, spontaneous and fun.

Legacy - We are creating a legacy in more ways than one. What we do now matters today and tomorrow.
