Edmonton Catholic Schools is excited to offer a new, innovative program designed to create positive learning experiences for children and parents outside of an Early Learning classroom.

The EMU – Early learning Mobile Unit, being introduced this fall will offer a distinctive play area in a cozy and unique environment.  The EMU will offer family-friendly, fun and stimulating activities for both children (aged two and one half to five) and their parents. Take-home ideas from each session will be provided to assist parents in creating a positive learning environment at home.

Children will have the opportunity to engage in developmentally appropriate learning and parents will be able to connect with other families and resources in their community.  Our interactive 1.5 hour program will include circle and story time, play centers and physical activities.

Families visiting the EMU will have access to:             

• Reggio inspired learning approach
• Literacy rich environment
• Inclusive Programming
• Services of a multi-disciplinary team including: Speech-Language Pathologist, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Behaviour Specialist, Adapted Physical Education Specialist, Family School Liaison Workers
