Licensed by the Ministry of Education – Early Learning and Child Care Branch, the Circle Project Children’s Centre and the Infant & Toddler Centre are operated under the umbrella of Circle Project. The Children’s Centre is among a very few Indigenous child care centres in Regina that provide quality and culturally based childcare for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old. We are licensed for a combined total of 106 spaces.
The children in our care are provided with a variety of daily activities including circle time, arts and crafts and chances to explore through play. Our activities are planned with the children’s interests in mind and all from an Indigenous world view. Throughout both centres, children of all ages are exposed to cultural imagery, music and language. Our Preschool children are provided with additional enhanced culturally immersive programming, through the Cultural Connection for Kids (CCK), at no additional cost.
Meal and snacks are provided everyday. All of the meals and snacks follow the the Canada Food Guide. The children are provided with nutritious, high-quality food including an abundance of fruit and vegetables. We exceed the recommended daily amounts and provide over 70% of a child’s daily nutritional needs.
We have been successful in receiving additional grants from the Ministry that assists licensed daycares to cover repairs and maintenance costs. The Children’s Centre repaired the crawl space, completed some exterior stucco repairs and replaced one of the three roof top heating/AC units. These repairs/renovations help us to provide safe and comfortable spaces for children to explore and play.
76% of the families who accessed our childcare programs this year self-identified as Indigenous.

“I’ve always appreciated the warmth and understanding of the staff, who can relate and empathize with parents, especially single parents who are trying their very best to provide their children with the best care. Knowing this as a parent allows us to be productive and allows us to continue to work at our goals.” — TP

“The Staff at the Children’s Centre is a second family for my child. The amount of love and caring they have for the children has exceeded my expectations. It is easy to see that providing care for the children is not just a job for them, it’s their investment in the future of our community.” —NW
