At Mckernan Child Development Centre (MCDC), we understand the importance of community, families, and educators working together to provide optimal learning opportunities for the children in our care. Our mission is children, families, and educators learning and growing together.
We have the privilege of operating as a ministry of McKernan Baptist Church. Our vision is to share God's love in a practical way to families through a team of professionals that excels in the field of Early Learning and childcare. We will showcase the contribution of our profession to the community while taking all opportunities to learn alongside the children in our care.
Our program is licensed to care for children 0 - 5 years old who are not enrolled in kindergarten. Our program is based on a "Learning through Play" philosophy and Emergent curriculum model. We believe that all children have a natural capacity for learning and will progress optimally, through play experiences that engage their interests and offer exciting opportunities for them to build on their current knowledge and skills.
Our Full-time Childcare program is licensed to care for children 0-5 who are not enrolled in kindergarten. We offer priority to siblings of children currently enrolled. As a University of Alberta affiliated program, we also offer priority to University of Alberta families.
