Nurturing young minds in a safe and loving environment

Your trusted partner in respite care

Supportive Steps is a place where children get the care they need. We think family and community are really important for children to grow and learn. That is why we try to be like a family when we take care of children.

At Supportive Steps we understand that parents and caregivers want complete peace of mind while leaving their children with someone else. This is why we make sure that our place is safe and fun for children. Here they can do things that are good for them.

We want to help children and make sure their families feel okay about leaving them with us. Our services at Supportive Steps are all about taking care of children with kindness and helping families feel safe when they leave their children with us.

Give your child the care they deserve

In-Home Respite

Our In-Home Respite service at Supportive Steps is designed for giving parents and caregivers a break while making sure their children are safely cared for at home. We send a trained caregiver to your house who will look after your children for a scheduled period.

During this time the caregiver focuses on providing attentive supervision, engaging children in activities and providing emotional support in a familiar and comfortable environment for the children.

In-Home Respite at Supportive Steps is about supporting families by making sure their children are receiving reliable compassionate care in the comfort of their home.

Community Respite Program

We at Supportive Steps believe that every child deserves the opportunity to feel included, valued and connected to their community. This is why our Community Respite Program is designed to support children by providing safe and meaningful opportunities for exploring and enjoying activities outside the home.

Children can participate in outings which encourage social interaction, confidence building and personal growth. Through our community-based respite care at Supportive Steps we aim to help children develop friendships, discover new interests and enjoy the many programs and facilities available, throughout Edmonton and the surrounding areas.

Personal Care Services

We give children the kind of care that they really need. Our Personal Care Services are for children of all abilities. We want to make sure they are safe and comfortable. We do this by giving them the attention and support that’s just right for them.

Our caregivers are trained to help children with the things they do every day. This can include helping them get clean, get dressed and eat. We also help them move around if they need it.

We really try to understand what each child needs and what they like. This way we give children the care that’s best for them and that they will really like.

Are you struggling to find a daycare that fits your schedule or meets your child’s needs? At Supportive Steps we offer services and help families by taking care of their children at home.

We give parents the option to have someone watch their children before and after school in their house which is a place that is comfortable and familiar to them. Our caregivers want to make sure that parents who are busy can get some help and that their children are safe and happy.

Our Extraordinary Childcare Services (Before and After School Care) are about giving families a way to get child care that works for them.
