Featured Community Group: ECDI

The Carnival proudly supports local community groups, programs, and initiatives by providing free advertising and publicity, and encouraging them to engage with our 1000+ guests.  Today's featured initiative is the Early Childhood Development Initiative: Sturgeon Region (ECDI).

"A child's brain is shaped dramatically in the first five years of life. What is learned early sets the foundation for all learning to follow, including desire and capacity for learning itself. The whole child - social, emotional, physical and identity - is largely shaped in these younger years. Early Childhood Development (ECD) opportunities support children's overall growth, development and learning. High quality care, programs and services best prepare our children for future school and life success.

The Early Childhood Development Initiative - Sturgeon Region (ECDI) is a region-wide program serving residents of Sturgeon County, including Bon Accord, Gibbons, Morinville, Redwater, Legal and the Edmonton Garrison, that assists eligible families with children 0 to 6 years to access early childhood development programs. Subsidies are available for eligible families experiencing financial barriers.

If you have questions or want to access the ECDI programs for your child, please contact Susan Evans, Coordinator, Early Childhood Development Initiative - Sturgeon Region at 780-939-4321 ext. 206 or toll free at 1-866-939-9303."
