Our Mission

The Regina Early Learning Centre (RELC) brings families with young children together, to nurture skills and development through parenting programs, high quality early childhood experiences, and culturally affirming practices.

Programs:

Preschool

Each year 96 children from low-income homes receive a high-quality, play-based, culturally sensitive program that fosters holistic development and builds foundations for language and learning skills. The program is supported by low staff-to-child ratios. Children leave the program more prepared for kindergarten and success in school but also with greater self-confidence, social skills and a love of learning.

Parents as Teachers

A home visiting program supports parents in their role as their child’s first and most important teacher. Families receive regular visits from a qualified parent educator to learn about child development through a variety of literacy and play activities.

KidsFirst

A home visiting program that assists vulnerable families to become the best parents they can be through home visits, support, education and building on family strengths.

Parents as Teachers and KidsFirst serve low-income and vulnerable families with children from prenatal through three years of age. Over 130 families participate in these programs each year.

Family Outreach

We offer a wide range of group parenting programs and one-to-one support to a small number of families facing very significant challenges.

Triple P

The Positive Parenting Program is a flexible, practical program that helps parents develop skills and strategies to build their confidence in handling any parenting situation.

Early Years Family Resource Centre - The EYFRC is a one-stop point of access, offering a variety of parenting and child development information as well as opportunities for parents and caregivers to play and learn with their children from prenatal to age 5. For more info. 

The Regina Perinatal Health Network (RPHN)  - The RPHN aims to be a single point of referral that provides support services to perinatal families with a special focus on mental health.
