About Us

At Woodlands Kids Co Family Dayhome Agency, we are more than a child care agency—we are a community of caregivers, dreamers, educators, and families committed to raising kind, confident, and curious children.

Founded with a deep respect for childhood and a passion for meaningful learning, we support both parents in finding high-quality, home-based child care, and educators in opening and running successful, approved family day homes throughout Alberta.

Whether you're a parent looking for peace of mind or an educator seeking purpose and independence, Woodlands Kids Co is here to walk beside you—every step of the way.

Our Inspiration

Woodlands Kids Co was inspired by the quiet strength of the forest and the freedom of children at play. Just like trees, children grow best when their roots are strong, their environment is nurturing, and their curiosity is encouraged.

We embrace a Montessori and Reggio Emilia approach—where learning is hands-on, child-led, and embedded in real-life experiences. We believe in raising wild and free kids—confident explorers who are nurtured by love, play, and the natural world around them.

Let's Grow Together

Whether you're a parent looking for the perfect day home or an educator ready to open your doors, we’re here to support you with heart and professionalism.
