Welcome to Regina Early Learning Centre
Get a head start on their learning journey!
Founded in 1977, the Regina Early Learning Centre is a family and child development centre working with families to foster the healthy development of children, from prenatal to five years of age. The first five years of life are incredibly important and can have a profound impact on physical and mental health, educational success, and the ability to become a contributing member of our community. Investments in young children lead to healthier children, stronger families, and more vibrant communities.
“In all actions concerning children, the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration.” — Article 3, UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
Since opening in 1977, the Centre has earned a solid reputation for the quality of its programs. We have received local, national and international recognition (see what the OECD has to say). Central to this success is the Centre’s emphasis on ensuring all our programs are strength-based, culturally sensitive, reflective of the values of our families, and firmly rooted in evidence-based early childhood and family support practice.
The Regina Early Learning Centre supports the healthy development of young children by providing a range of education and support services for young children and their families. These programs help create brighter futures for children, families, and our community as a whole.
The Centre was created to work in partnership with low-income families to enable their children to achieve their full potential. This partnership with parents is central: parents are involved in a variety of meaningful ways. These include governance, home visits, an open-door policy, and programming for parents.
We also saw the teachers encouraging the children to take initiative and to collaborate with each other. The children were not cosseted but given genuine freedom to choose. These choices are transformed into purposeful activities through dialogue with their teachers.
We take great pride in the governance of the Regina Early Learning Centre, and are pleased to share our Annual Report for the 2021/22 fiscal year, as presented at our AGM.
