We operate three Family Learning and Play Centres, in the NE/NW/SE communities of Calgary. We offer programs in our centres, outdoors, and online that support families. Our Centres are a space where parents, caregivers, and their children can come play, learn and connect with staff as well as other parents.

They also assist with families connecting to other services & supports, such as other early childhood supports, basic needs programs, and more.
