At Providence, we take pride in making special education accessible to all families. There is a non-refundable annual registration fee of $50. Families are still required to cover the cost for your child to attend their child care centre.

Providence does not provide one-on-one therapy. The program is facilitated by a certified Teacher with support from our therapists and Teaching/Therapeutic Assistants in collaboration with the child care centre.

Providence does not provide Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) programming but will communicate with your child’s FSCD team to share information as required.

Providence works in numerous child care centres across Calgary that meet eligibility. Please contact us at 403-255-5577 or learn@providencechildren.com for a list of eligible child care centres.

The LEARN program manager will send out a schedule to parents/guardians in advance so you know when to expect our team.

Alberta Education states that children can only be enrolled in one Program Unit Funded (PUF) program at a time. As LEARN is a PUF program, we cannot support children in their childcare centre who are already enrolled in a PUF program with a different agency.

In our School program, your child comes to us, and in the LEARN program, we visit your child in their child care centre. The LEARN program provides educational and therapeutic support, just as we offer in our School program.

Our team works collaboratively with the educators at your child’s child care centre.  We bring activities and resources for use when we are on site and when we are not, as well as providing strategies and professional development opportunities for the child care team.
