Norwood Child & Family Resource Centre

Absolutely love it here awesome environment for respite or full time care I would always trust this agency over and over with my children, All 4 of my girls have gone here and they're always having so much fun and alwaye getting lots of attention, the staff are sooooo amazing and are very compassion and understanding, recommend this place to everyone who needs help with their tiny people, This place has a heart of gold

This is a fantastic place with wonderful staff that puts on great events for kids and families here and at other facilities. I appreciate all they do for our community, the support I’ve had as a new parent, and the joy the small human gets every time we go.

It's been a life-changing experience being connected with the amazing people at Norwood. You feel like part of the family, safe, appreciated, respected. Their staff is phenomenal, kind, nurturing, understanding. Everyone with children should be connected to this amazing place. They offer so many free services: Free parent workshops with childminding, respite with delicious nutritious hot meals, counseling, parent coaching, child play groups, so much here is phenomenal I don't know how they do it all. Because of Norwood, I know my children can face kindergarten and preschool with confidence.

Thank you to our team of wonderful people. You have been the village, family, and support network weour family was missing. You have given me strength, safety, and opportunity. You have given my children an incredible boost, I cannot begin to express my gratitude but you have all done so much for my family and I will never forget the incredible generosity and encouragement of our Norwood family

If you have a special needs child or an autistic child I’m pretty sure this place is not for you. I sent my child here multiple times his diaper never got changed. I can recall one time I pick him up and it was not full I was told they specialize in special needs children that they have help for it. I got to the point where I didn’t wanna take my son to daycare. And then they have the nerve to call me when I’m clearly having issues with her to tell me he’s not working out for them anymore? Like what the f the options are suppose to be “ nutritious “ but my child didn’t wanna eat any of it even if it was his favourite food 2/10 don’t recommend

Fantastic! I've been taking my daughter who's 2 now for almost a year for respite childcare, home visitations, and soon potty training in my house. They have classes and many activities for little ones too! The workers are so pleasant and kind and they have a kitchen for homemade meals! This Centre made a positive impact and changed our lives! With no family/friends in Edmonton and trouble finding reasonably priced childcare, Norwood's Respite Temporary Daycare saved my sanity giving me a much needed break! The daycare also gives Violet socialization with other children preparing her for preschool years. Not to mention the staff who make this place as bright and wonderful for the little ones! All the social workers I've met are so great with kids and treat the parents with respect no matter your background.

I've taken an "exploring emotions" course here and use their child respite program here. The staff is amazingly helpful and they also provide free child-minding, coffee and snacks while you attend a course. Shout outs to Maven and Victoria for taking good care of my baby while I was in class. A lovely place with lots of programs and resources for families - and their ceiling of lights Christmas decorations are so beautiful. I'd visit just to see them.

Lina is young yet has great techniques to teach us, desperate parents, to help our children regulate their emotions.
I look forward to learn more from her.
Also their drop in programs are awesome. I do not have family or have a "village" so it helps to have somewhere to take our children to play and be socially active. Thank you Norwood for organizing these activities
