Alberta ACE Chapter
Advocating for Quality Childcare in Alberta
The Alberta chapter of the Association of Childcare Entrepreneurs, is ensuring equitable treatment of childcare facilities and licensed day homes/agencies in Alberta.
High quality child care across Alberta is currently in jeopardy. Proposed government policy is threatening the financial viability of child care across the country. We need your help to ensure we can continue to offer our services to our communities.
