About Us

About Us - Who We Are

Canada Bear was founded with one simple mission: to give children a strong, joyful foundation for lifelong learning. We believe early childhood and school-age years are filled with curiosity, imagination, and growth.

Our out-of-school care program welcomes children from Kindergarten to Grade 6, including students from FFCA and CBE schools, and provides age-appropriate experiences that support learning, independence, and social connection.

We are especially focused on families around Acadia SE and Calgary SE, including nearby FFCA, FFCS, and CBE school communities.
