flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework
An early learning and child care curriculum framework is different than a traditional curriculum
The curriculum is focused on holistic goals rather than specific outcomes for each subject area.
Makovichuk, L., Hewes, J., Lirette, P., & Thomas, N. (2014). Flight: Alberta’s early learning and care framework. Retrieved from flightframework.ca
The curriculum framework will inspire, provoke, and guide educators in their work with children and their families - a framework of possibilities
for nurturing each child’s identity as a mighty learner and citizen
for valuing play in the lives of young children
for making children’s play, learning, and development visible for children, families, and educators
for respecting family, social, and cultural practices and traditions in local communities
for reflecting on the everyday experiences of children that are the basis of curriculum meaning making in early childhood communities
The vision is for Flight to be a living document and that educators will use it to question, discuss, and reflect on curriculum meaning making
The Curriculum Framework has 5 Core Concepts:
The image of the Child: A Mighty Learner and Citizen
A Practice of Relationships: Your Role as an Early Learning and Child Care Educator
Mighty Learners: Nurturing Children’s Dispositions to Learn
Responsive Environments: Time, Space, Material, and Participation
Transitions and Continuities: Supporting Children and Families Through Change
The 4 Holistic Play-based Goals:
Well-Being
Play and Playfulness
Communication and Literacies
Diversity and Social Responsibility
5 Childrens Dispositions to Learn:
Playing and Playful
Seeking
Participating
Persisting
Caring
Educators Roles as:
Co-Learner
Co-Researcher
Co-imaginers of Possibilities

Parent Testimonials
Over the past 11 years, all three of our children have attended the Taber Child Care Centre, starting at just 12 months old and staying until they aged out. We have been incredibly grateful for the care, support, and nurturing environment provided by the staff. Our children have always been happy and excited to go each day, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they receive.
The daycare has played a huge role in fostering our children's independence in an age-appropriate way, helping them build strong peer relationships, and offering a variety of exploratory learning opportunities. The healthy, home-cooked meals provided daily ensure they are well-nourished. We also appreciate that each age group has their own indoor and outdoor space, creating a wonderful sense of community and family within these smaller groups.
As our middle child transitioned out of the daycare, we were pleased to move him into the Out of School Care (OSC) centre. The continuity of familiar staff and friendships made the transition seamless. The OSC provides a comfortable, home-like environment where children can unwind after a busy school day. It also supports school transitions and offers engaging activities on non-school days, including visits to nearby parks and the library.
We truly love the staff at both the daycare and OSC centres and feel incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive and enriching environment in our small community. They have been an invaluable partner in helping us raise our children through these important early years, and we are so thankful for the positive impact they've had on our family.

This is our 19 month old daughters first daycare, she has been attending the center for 5 months. Staff are great, and she absolutely loves going . We love that she spends so much time outside. Meals and snacks are healthy. We notice a difference in her mannerisms ; such as sitting when eating or sitting to put on her shoes. She is a much happier girl all around; the center has given her a positive outlet to become social and independent. We would definitely recommend TCCC.
Naomi
I can remember going to the Centre when I was a child & have now had the pleasure of having both of my boys at the center. Due to a large age gap between my children we have been able to be at the Centre since 2009. I can not express the amount of gratitude we have for the teachers. The love and support they have shown to my boys is absolutely amazing. Such a wonderful group of people who have become like our second family. Cheers to another 40 years ladies, you are doing an incredible job looking after our littles.

“Wonderful staff who are wholeheartedly committed to teaching and loving all of the children!”
— Amanda Joy
We are so happy that we chose Taber Child Care Centre Society. Our little girl love being there and interacting with the children and staff. We appreciate the yummy healthy food which is offered to her that allows her to eat foods that she might not get from us. My husband and i love the fact we get picture updates about her daily activities that allow us to stay connected with her. Additionally it is so nice that they have their own outdoor space where the kids can play in a safe well kept area. I definitely have and will continue to recommend them to anyone needing child care.
-Crystal
My children have been attending the Taber Child Care Centre for over a year now. I have been consistently impressed with the professionalism and skill of the staff. My kids are happy to arrive at daycare and still have smiles when I pick them up. The staff seem genuinely happy which I believe is a sign of a well-run organization. I love the developmental crafts, activities, and programming, as well as the spacious outdoor play area. I also really appreciate the healthy, home-cooked meals on site. I would absolutely recommend this daycare to anyone!"
Thanks so much, it has been a great year!
