We collectively bring 40 years plus experience in our Not for Profit Early Learning and Child Care Centre both in the Field and in Leadership.
Our Centre had successfully provided affordable childcare under the Non Profit $25 a day for over 3 years for families in High River and now we are under the NEW Alberta/Federal ELCC agreement that reduces fees for parents and will be in place for next 4 years and beyond.
We provide culturally diverse professional trained staff who are supported and well compensated for the work in relationship building and encouraging children in all aspects of Early Learning and Flight curriculum.
We have six board members at Daydreams ELC, comprised of people with business knowledge, Early Learning Professionals and Parents; together we have strong direction and knowledge base that enhances all our programs.

We are excited to announce we are expanding our 3 to 6 year old program to a wonderful new bright building in the same familiar location just across the parking lot from Daydreams ELCC Ltd.
This new space will be called Daydreams Play Academy and will focus on the Alberta's FLIGHT Curriculum and Learning through Play Philosophies. The environment will be carefully designed to focus on the concepts that the Environment is the 3rd teacher.
This move will allow us to add Infant and Toddler spaces reducing the waiting lists we presently have.
Keep tuned in to this site for pictures and updates.
Expected opening March/April 20223
