What Is Our Mission?
Our mission is to introduce children to new ideas and challenges, allowing creativity and self-expression. We try to address each child’s individual interests through a wide variety of activities and play, appropriate to their developmental needs, in a loving and nurturing environment.
We also strive to create a sense of “family” or “belonging” for children, parents and our early childhood educators (staff) alike.
What’s special about Kidz In The Park?
We provide a safe and nurturing environment for children. Each class is set up to assist children with their individual needs, based on their skill level and age. We plan and implement fun-filled learning activities that enhance a child’s will to learn and explore different developmental areas.
Kidz In The Park believes in creative learning. We believe that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress; we would be forever repeating the same pattern. Kidz In The Park helps children set the foundation for creativity by encouraging all different types of play. Come and check us out today!
Looking for the best licensed daycare in Sherwood Park? Kidz In The Park provides a safe, nurturing environment where children thrive. Our early childhood education program blends structured and unstructured learning to build a strong academic and social foundation. We ensure your child not only meets but surpasses their developmental milestones. From infant care to out-of-school programs, we provide peace of mind for parents by filling their cups with love and care every single day.
Prepare your child for all of life’s milestones
What gives our centre the quality you feel the moment you enter are the “pillars” of belief that support us. There are four core beliefs on which everything centres at our centre.
We help children connect with their surroundings in new ways, so they discover what is meaningful to them in the moment and in the future.
A child’s success in large part depends on families, educators, peers and relevant members of the community.
Sharing new experiences and solving problems with others leads to a greater sense of connectedness – as well as meaningful learning experiences.
We believe all that a child needs to learn can be taught through play! Our staff create activities that are fun and educational.

Director
I’m thrilled to welcome you to KITP, where my dedication to childhood education comes to life. I am a graduate of Grant MacEwan University’s Early Learning and Child Care program. I’ve proudly served as the director at KITP since April 2022, with over five years of dedicated experience in the childcare field. Working with children is my passion as I’m fascinated by their unique shine and their ability to extract meaning from every experience. Committed to the Emergent Curriculum Approach, I strongly advocate for children’s learning through play, fostering an environment where their potential is not only recognized but also nurtured and celebrated. I practice pedagogical documentation, as it allows me to see my own image of the child, how I represent the children I work with, how I represent myself, my educator partners and my own learning within the community and the families we serve.
Owner
The commitment we have towards the care of your child is reflected in every aspect of our daycare centre. The programs and the selection of staff have been approached with enthusiasm, expertise and great care. The result is a modern, progressive facility designed to meet the needs of our children, parents and community.

Offering two years of dedicated service in nurturing and guiding children of all ages, I’ve proudly contributed to the KITP team since March 2022.

Working with children is not just a profession but a source of immense joy. I find fulfillment in encouraging children to achieve their developmental milestones. This journey of assisting children and their families is the most rewarding and meaningful career path I could envision. I look forward to continuing this impactful work at KITP.
Panda Room - Kinder and Pre-kinder
After completing my BSc in Biotechnology in 2015, I moved to Canada from India and found my true interest in Early Childhood Education. With my ELCC Level 1 and 2 certifications complete, I am currently advancing towards a Level 3 Supervisor Diploma. Since joining Kidz In The Park in 2022, I’ve been continually inspired by the nurturing environment and professionalism that surround us. As a passionate kindergarten educator and a mother to a beautiful daughter, with another child on the way, I bring love, care, and a dedication to fostering young minds to our community each day.
Panthers - Out of School Care
I realized early in life that I love working with children and that there wasn’t anything else I could imagine doing. After graduating high school I then chose to pursue a Diploma as a Child Development Supervisor. I graduated college with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I am very grateful to be a member of Kidz in the Park, so I can be a part of moulding a good foundation in children’s lives. To add to my joy (and parenting experience), I have two children, who are the light of my life.
Ladybugs - Preschool
I have been working in childcare for over 10 years, and possess a level 1 certificate in child care. I really enjoy the energy young children bring into your life, keeping you constantly on your toes and making you stay creative. I can’t imagine anything better than being able to provide children with a safe and exciting beginning, and I plan on doing it for quite some time. I have two boys of my own and enjoy helping out with my son’s football league.
Cook
I am the daycare cook. I do have my level 1 child care certificate. I have lived in Sherwood Park for 17 years. Since moving here my family has been involved in competitive swimming as all three of my children swim. My hobbies are reading and gardening. I enjoy camping and watching sports. I look forward to getting to know all the kids.
