About the Daycare
Franklin Children’s Centre is an accredited, not-for-profit child care centre managed by a board comprised of parents and the managing director. Conveniently located just off Deerfoot Trail. Franklin Children’s Centre provides children with a warm and welcoming environment designed to cultivate the emotional, physical and intellectual development of each child.
Children learn in mixed-age, family-style groups led by certified early childhood professionals, most of whom have been with the Centre for many years. Our open-door policy means you are welcome to spend time at the Centre with your child any time, so you can see a normal day rather than a staged one.
