ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING REPORT | 10
Community Preschool Education
Respectfully Submitted by Marjorie Cooper
We are driven by learning in an inclusive environment.
The children we provide services for benefit greatly
with the early intervention we provide. Each child
is Program Unit Funded by the Government of
Alberta. This funding affords us the oppor- tunity to
provide the best multi-disciplinary team possible.
Each child, depending on need, can have an SLP,
SLPA, OT, OTA, PT, Family Support Liaison, an
Educational Assistant, and a certi- fied Coordinating
Teacher to create an Individualized Program Plan
on site (daycare, preschool, or kindergarten) and in
the home. We are a family first program for children
between 2.5 and 6 years old (before September
1st) with developmental delays and/or disabilities.
Our multi-disciplinary team works as a unit to give
each child the opportunity to learn in an inclusive
environment with typically-developing children of the
same age. We service the Edmonton and surrounding
area to include Beaumont, St. Albert, Sherwood Park,
Fort Saskatchewan, Spruce Grove, Devon, and Leduc.
Each child’s team works together targeting various
goals in a fun and interesting manner. Abilities
are challenged through encouraging discovery in
learning by building on their strengths and nourishing
their self-esteem.
