Ages: 3 to 5 years
Our licensed Playschool program is eligible for grants and subsidies which allows children to attend at little to no cost. Families will automatically save $75/month/child, and if your family income is under $180,000/year you can apply for additional subsidies up to $125/month through the Government of Alberta child care affordability grant and subsidy program (detail below).
Our program strives to create a “learning through play” environment that stimulates children’s natural curiosity, growth and development. Programming will include art, music, story time, field trips and physical activity. Placement priority is given to CAF families; however, we welcome all families when space is available. Children must be 3 years of age and toilet trained to enroll. *NOTE* A $10.00 non-refundable administrative fee is required to secure a spot.
Registration opens May 6 for the 2024/25 school year! If you are interested in securing a spot for your child please register at the MFRC front desk or call 780-973-4011 ext. 528-6300.

“My husband and I have seen tremendous growth in our child since attending playschool with Britta. [AR1] [AG2] In my career as a social worker, I have seldom met someone with Britta’s passion, heart and skill for working with children and families. She is truly a gift to the MFRC, the military community and early childhood education at large”.
- Megan, Playschool Parent
"The teachers at the MFRC playschool have managed to create a caring environment where the kids feel so welcomed and safe to play and explore. It really doesn’t stop there, they seem to always go above and beyond what you would expect from a playschool program…I think it is safe to say the MFRC playschool has exceeded every expectation I had for preparing my children for kindergarten and their future education."
- Anita, Playschool Parent
