FAQs
We’re a licensed, non-profit childcare and family centre run by a board of parent volunteers. We’ve cared for South Edmonton families for over 40 years, and many of our staff have been with us for more than 10 years. Every dollar goes back into caring for your child. Our qualified and experienced early childhood educators lead play-based programs designed around each child’s interests.

Our new Lendrum location has spaces available now! Our Lansdowne location has a waitlist. To get started, book a tour at either centre by calling 780-437-5654, emailing ed@lansdownecc.ca, or fill out our inquiry form here.
Our rooms are led by qualified early childhood educators, nearly all certified at Level 3, Alberta’s highest certification level. Many of our educators have been with us for years, so children build lasting relationships with familiar, caring adults, who love to see them grow and change. We follow Alberta’s licensing standards for staff-to-child ratios in every room.
