About Us

Raising a child is a wonderful, yet emotional experience. When a child has special needs, new and different challenges can arise. That's when families need a place that will provide expertise, understanding and specialized education and therapy for their child to develop to his or her full potential.

In Calgary, that place is Providence Children's Centre.

We have a history of success in helping children that goes back to 1943. Our experience covers a full range of disabling conditions whose severity can vary as well. We make a positive difference in young lives that have been touched by difficulties at birth, illness, childhood accidents, genetic conditions or prenatal problems.

We work with children at an early age to help them grow and to prepare for their next steps in life. We help to improve their communication skills, motor skills and learning abilities. Our carefully selected staff of professional teachers and therapists, together with child development practitioners and educational and therapeutic assistants, follow the best practices to meet your child's ongoing needs. Our high ratio of staff to children ensures lots of individual attention for your child.

Our extensive experience working with children with all types of needs has taught us that parent involvement is essential for success. We work closely with you to plan the activities that your child needs and to ensure that your child receives the right challenges at the right time.
