We
learn through play
BELA is an Alberta Education Approved Early Childhood Site, making it possible for us to provide services and programming for children with early intervention and special needs as well as for children who are learning to speak English as a second language.
Students may qualify for funding to access these services. If you have concerns about your child that are developmental in nature or you have been referred to us regarding PUF Funding, please contact us to discuss your options.
BELA is also licensed through the Southeastern Alberta Children Services Authority.
Ages
Programming for 3 and 4 year olds
At BELA, a child’s individual developmental stage is combined with realistic expectations, balancing support and challenge, to produce learning. Foundational to our programming, through play, we provide developmentally appropriate learning opportunities designed to support and encourage children as they discover, create, and learn. We believe that the Early Childhood Professional’s role is to support families in maximizing the potential of each child. Therefore, the emergent character development of each child is supported, as character education is embedded in our programming, with positive character traits modeled and explicitly taught, in order to support children in becoming positive, contributing members or our community. Every aspect of our program is supported by early childhood education research and best practices. We strive to provide our students with the best possible support to ensure their success as life long learners.
