School Age Care

Kings Kids School Age Care offers a bright, spacious and cheerful classroom as well as a full size gymnasium and kitchen which we use in our daily programming. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum encourages exploration and learning through free play, art, gym, story time, science, math and literacy activities and much more!

By providing children a safe and healthy environment we are able to watch as each child grows and develops in all areas (socially, physically, cognitively and spiritually) Our centre is set up to encourage the children to explore each of these different areas of development. At Kings Kids we want the children to be involved in the daily planning of activities and have implemented a Leadership Club to help aid in this process.

Kings Kids is accredited by the Alberta Association for the Accreditation of Early Learning and Care Services. Accreditation is a voluntary program which aims to improve quality of care. It involves a number of rigorous steps which include a self-study which can take up to 12 months, a site visit and on going monitoring.

We’re Accredited!
