About Us
We are a Registered Not-For-Profit organization to promote young children’s healthy growth and development, and to enhance family wellness.
The Jasper Place Child and Family Resource Society has been in operation since 1972. Over the years, we have grown from a small child care centre to an organization that in addition to comprehensive children’s programs, offers a wide range of parent-related services at multiple locations in West Edmonton.
Jasper Place Family Resource Centre also operates 2 Early Learning and Child Care Programs, a Kindergarten Program, and an Inclusive Program for children with special needs.
As the newly designated Family Resource Network Hub for West Edmonton, our Service Coordinators ensure: – Caregivers are connected to services that support children and families to thrive. Service providers are connected with one another creating a web of supports.
Our Centre follows Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework for Alberta as a guiding document for our work with children and families. The information contained in this video describes the work educators do and how important FLIGHT is in articulating it. Hear from educators putting the framework into practice.
Our ELCC program is grounded in the following five, evidence-based beliefs:
- Learning through play
