About us

Founded in 1990 in Edmonton, Child Development Dayhomes expanded to Calgary in 1993, followed by Fort McMurray in 2008. We are a family dayhome agency that recruits, approves, trains, supports, and monitors dayhomes. Guided by the Alberta based child education curriculum “Flight”, we focus on child-led play and the well-being of the child. We are passionate about early learning and child development!

Introducing FLIGHT Curriculum Framework

Play, Participation, Possibilities

Child Development Dayhomes prides itself on our dedication to children’s well-being, development, and growth. That is why we incorporate the innovative and unique FLIGHT Framework in our everyday practice; a framework that embraces children’s experience in the world and turns it into meaningful opportunities for development.

FLIGHT stands out from other childcare curriculums in that it is flexible and adaptive. This allows the Dayhome Educator to align with the child’s natural experience of the world. Everyday activities are transformed into and viewed as meaningful moments for development and growth.
