Horizon / For parents / French Daycare Centres

The Réseau des garderies francophones de l’Alberta has been created following a disappointing conclusion. Indeed, a significant number of Francophone parents are unable to find a place in a Francophone day care center for their child in Alberta. Following this observation, the FPFA decided to do a study on the subject that was funded by the Secretariat francophone de l’Alberta.

Study : Increasing the number of places in Francophone Daycare

Réseau des garderies francophones : summary of the situation

It is generally not easy for francophone parents to find institutions that their young children can attend (preschools, day care centres, specialized centres, etc.), since we live in an overwhelmingly English-speaking environment. With this reality in mind, FPFA provides its members with lists that allow parents to easier access to community resources without having to conduct time consuming and inefficient research.

Before and After School Program

Those programs provide more opportunities for children to learn and thrive in French. These programs are delivered through child care services and are intended for K-6 students. These programs are available from 7 am to 8:30 am and 3:30 pm to 6 pm – but the exact time may vary by school. These programs generally offer day care during school holidays and PD days.
