Early Learning at MacEwan (ELM) strives to be a centre of innovation in our community for early learning and child care knowledge, theory and practice. ELM is an inclusive environment for children aged 18 months to six years. We exist to lead the way in early childhood education and care. Qualified early childhood educators work closely with, and alongside, families to ensure a safe, nurturing environment for play, care, learning, and development. We work closely with MacEwan's Early Learning and Child Care program as a centre of allied research and education, incorporating and shaping the latest theories and practices in the early learning field.
