With two locations—Banff Child Care Centre and Puzzles Child Care—our dedicated educators provide a warm, inclusive space where children learn through play and exploration. Since 1975, we’ve offered community-focused care rooted in creativity, respect, and nature, supporting the long-term wellbeing of children, families, and our team. Inspired by Banff National Park, outdoor adventures, and peer connections, we make learning an adventure that builds confidence, curiosity, and joy.
Made up of parents and community members, our Board is dedicated to supporting high-quality child care. They guide our vision, shape our programs, and help make a real difference for children and families in our community.
Puzzles Child Care provides a cozy, nurturing environment for up to 24 children, with full- and part-time care available. Open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., our single classroom ensures each child gets the attention and support they need to explore, play, and grow every day.
Serving the community since 1975, Banff Child Care Centre offers full-time care for up to 82 children and is open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. With six age-based classrooms, we nurture and support children in a play-based environment where they can explore, learn, and grow.
We are thrilled to share that The Day Care Society of Banff has officially signed a lease with St. George in the Pines. Through this new partnership, Elements Child Care will open in 2026, creating more much-needed child care spaces for the residents of Banff.
Elements Child Care will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the large hall of 400 Buffalo Street, helping to better meet the needs of working families in our community.
This marks an exciting step forward in supporting local families and strengthening Banff with accessible, high-quality early learning and care.
