Are you breathing easier yet?

At Bright Lights Childcare Centre we understand that childcare is on the highest list of priorities for working families. We know, because we are working parents too. It's tough trying to decide on the best facility for your children and balance the ever shrinking budget.

One local business recognized that the issue of childcare needed attention, and decided to do something about it.

That is why in order to provide the highest quality care, ENMAX has partnered with the YWCA of Calgary, a trusted caregiver in the community, to open a childcare facility in the heart of 'working Calgary'. The 4,000 square foot facility, located in the southeast corner of the ENMAX building on 50th Ave in Calgary, includes a dedicated outdoor play area, meal service and fully accredited childcare programming of the highest quality.

Bright Lights Child Care Centre is currently accepting applications for childcare. If you are looking for a great place for your child while you are at work, look no further!

What are the staff qualifications and training?

The Bright Lights Child Care Centre caregivers have Provincial Day Care Staff Qualification Certificates Levels 1, 2 or 3. The caregivers' certificates will be posted in the child care supervisor’s office for you to review. The caregivers are skilled in child observation, planning developmentally appropriate activities, and implementing child-oriented activities. They have current first aid and CPR training (including training with infants/toddlers) and have passed a security clearance check.

Are meals provided?

Yes, lunch and 2 snacks a day are provided.

How are parents involved in the child care centre?

The centre will maintain an open door policy. The child care staff will have regular nightly communication with parents in order to handle parent’s concerns and keep them up to date on their child’s development and progress. There will also be staff/parent meetings twice per year.

It is important that parents/guardians participate in the following:
• Volunteer at the centre or field trips
• Phone calls
• Observation of child while in program
• Parent Advisory Committee
• Family Conferences
In addition to this, parents and other family members are encouraged to share their special skills and talents such as playing a musical instrument, storytelling, cooking a cultural specialty, or bringing in some specific clothing to be used in the dramatic play area.

What do parents need to supply?

Parents will need to supply diapers, creams, extra clothing, sippy cups/bottles and, if needed, a comfort item for nap time.

What security and safety measures are in place?

There will be first aid kits, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in every room. A first aid kit is brought on all field trips. Fire drills will occur once a month. Cribs and high chairs meet Canadian Safety guidelines.
Parents will have an access card to the child care centre. Doors are kept locked at all times. During outdoor play, gates will be locked.

Can I bring my child to the child care centre if he/she is sick?

A child who has a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or over; Diarrhoea; any form of contagious/communicable disease; or been prescribed any kind of medication in the last 24 hours, must not attend the Childcare Centre for a minimum of 24 hours. Once the child's temperature is normal and the medication has taken effect, the child may return to the centre.

If a child cannot take part in an activity because of illness, the child should not come to the centre that day. If a child comes to the centre ill, parents will be asked to find alternate care for that day.

The YWCA requires a doctor's note when a child returns to the centre after having a contagious disease. Parents can call the centre to find out whether their child will need a note after an illness.
