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.

“I’d like to shout out to Amna, she’s been so helpful and flexible throughout our transition period! Not to mention accommodating her for our hours needed and what great things she does with my son. She is very kind and caring,and puts education first. She has been a huge reason Finn’s transition was as smooth as it had been!”

“Uchenna is an absolute saint. She made me feel so confident with the transition from staying home with my son to full time care. Uchenna takes the time and plans out activities and teaches our son something new everyday. I know my son feels safe and loved when he goes to see Uchenna. It is very rare when he’s upset to go in, and he’s usually jumping into her arms with a big smile. We’re so lucky to have Uchenna in our lives!”

“My son attends the Little Heart Dayhome with Bhashini Vithanage. Here is a short appreciation note. Little Heart Dayhome has become a second home for my son. Bhashini's dedication to creating a safe and nurturing environment does not go unnoticed. Thank you so much, Bhashini, for creating such a nurturing environment where Owen can learn and grow. Your passion for what you do shines through, and we are so thankful to have you”.

“I cannot praise Ruth enough. She is truly amazing, and I believe everything she does for the kids she does from the bottom of her heart… Whether it’s throwing parties, taking them on field trips or just creating fun activities she always goes above and beyond. Not only is she extremely fun, but she is also extremely caring, neutering and loving. We could not ask for a better provider for our son ❤ Thanks”

Our Rates
Our educators set their own hours and rates. If your family’s annual income is below $180,000, you can qualify for childcare subsidy. In addition, all families of children 0 to Kindergarten age, regardless of income, can qualify for government affordability grants.
The monthly fee is calculated the following way:
Parent Fee = Educator’s Rate – Subsidy – Government Grant
