Welcome to A Bright Beginning Child Care Society

From the Prairie Plaza in 2019, A Bright Beginning relocated inside the Avondale School on the west side. The Alberta Government ELCC pilot project and the CFEP funding allowed the renovations and move to be possible providing the Centre with additional 22 spaces and a School Age Program. HWD Construction of Grande Prairie completed the renovations that included a beautiful kitchen for nutritional meals/snacks for the children. Currently we have a partnership with the Grande Prairie Public School Division. The move was necessary for the longevity of the Centre to continue providing affordable spaces now the pilot project is over. The Affordability grant in its place, along with low lease fees, keeps the Centre viable. Thank you to the Alberta Government ELCC pilot project, the CREP Funding, HWD construction and GPPSD. As of September 2023, the Society expanded and opened 2 new School Age programs; A Bright Beginning Roy Bickell and A Bright Beginning Ecole Montrose.

Proud to be named an Alberta Early Learning and Child Care Centre
