Stepping Out Saturdays (Renfrew Educational Services)

Stepping out on Saturdays is a respite program for children ages 5-12, running throughout September to June. Children attend the program from 9:30am to 2:30pm on alternating Saturdays from our Janice McTighe Centre in North Calgary, and our Thomas W. Buchanan Centre in South Calgary.

Children spend their day playing in our Early Childhood Services (ECS) classrooms and having some time outside on the playground and in our specialty rooms. Parents send in lunch and snacks; and our staff support the children with self-help skills and socializing with their friends.

The program focuses on making friends, sharing, and taking turns, while providing parents some personal time knowing their child is being cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

Parents can contact Jana Maynes at 430 291 5038 ext. 1214 or email janamaynes@renfreweducation.org for more information about the program.
