Connecting parents to resources in their communities

Alberta Children’s Services continues to lead the way in giving parents flexibility to choose the early childhood development and child care services that meet the specific needs of their children.

A Parent Link Centre provides parents and their children with supports to ensure that the children come to school ready to learn and ensure that parents have the supports needed to help their children develop and fulfill their potential. Parents will be able to access information about community services, obtain referrals, and meet other parents, children, and families, while taking part in quality early learning activities at a Parent Link Centre.

Every centre is uniquely designed to meet the needs of families living in each community.

All offer:

Parent education programs;
Programs for young children to learn and play;
Family support services such as nutrition programs, support groups, clothing exchange; and
Information and referrals to other parenting support and child development programs in your community.
