We are committed to making it easy for our participants to access and request information. As the designated Family Resource Network Hub for West Edmonton, we provide a variety of programs under two main categories: ‘Parent and Caregiver Education’ for parent support, and ‘Play Learn Connect’ for early childhood development.
Most of our programs are now drop-in! Only a few online sessions and workshops with limited capacity require registration.
You can view or download our Program Guide here:
Ages & Stages Questionnaire: Screening young children is an effective, efficient way to check a child’s development. You can celebrate your child’s milestones and know what to look for next. It’s also an essential first step toward identifying children with delays or disorders in the critical early years.
Baby and You: Parenting or expecting a baby can bring some challenges as well as joys! Come share your journey at our virtual or in-person group. This is a time for meeting other families, sharing of community resources, early learning activities, and topics relating to raising infants. Guest speakers are invited to join us for most sessions to share information about different topics…let us know about any topics that are of interest to you! Best suited for: pregnant and newly parenting caregivers of infants
Circle of Security: The Circle of Security is a visual model that helps caregivers understand and respond to children’s attachment needs, fostering secure relationships that support emotional regulation, social competence, and resilience. It emphasizes the importance of caregivers reflecting on their relationship capacities rather than focusing solely on behavior management.
Infant Massage: We invite you and your infant to join us to learn about infant massage. Infant massage is incredibly beneficial to both baby and caregiver as it encourages bonding, body awareness, promotes relaxation and sleep, and so much more. Participants will have the opportunity to slow down and connect with their infant in a calm setting and try their hand at massage. There will also be the chance for discussion and connection with other caregivers who are also parenting an infant. Best suited for: parents/caregivers & Infants from 1 – 12 months
Bonding Together- Parent and Baby: Bonding Together: Parent and Baby is for parents who are on the journey of breast/chestfeeding and/or supplementing. We recognize that this looks different for everyone and there are rewards and challenges along the way. This program provides a nurturing, engaging environment with opportunities for parents to share their knowledge, experiences, challenges and joys with breast/chestfeeding. Parents are encouraged to provide support to one another and naturally build social connections along the way. The facilitators welcome any questions and will share relevant information and resources each week. This group is facilitated by: an accredited La Leche League Canada Leader, a non-profit organization that provides breast/chestfeeding support, as well as a certified lactation counselor and educator. Best suited for: Pregnant and parenting caregivers of infants/toddlers who are looking for knowledge, support and encouragement with breast/chestfeeding
