Mission Statement
Glengarry Child Care Society ensures high quality care for children and support for families and the community by facilitating educational programs and services that enhance the development of each individual.
About This Cause
Glengarry Child Care Society has been providing high quality childcare to families since 1969. Originally operated by the City of Edmonton, Glengarry served as a demonstration centre for Early Childhood Development students from Grant MacEwan College. In 1984, the City of Edmonton made the decision to no longer operate the centre. At that time, a group of committed parents and community members formed the first volunteer Board of Directors and on July 4, 1984, the new non-profit Glengarry Child Care Society opened its doors to children and families. We employ a group of dedicated Educators that are committed to providing the highest quality care for your children. Weekly programming is based on the needs and interests of the children and provides activities that are fun, creative and help with the development of the whole child. Educators take on the role of Co-Learners, Co-Researchers and Co-Imaginer of Possibilities. Rather than “teaching” the children, Educators get involved in the children’s play, allow the children to take the lead in activities and explore and learn together. We are proud that we have an extremely low employee turnover with many of our Educators being employed more than 5 years and 4 have been employed 15 years or longer!
