A huge thank you to the Canadian Child Care Federation for featuring this article written by our very own CEO, Cody Topp!

Thousands of Canadian families hit a wall the moment their child starts school - what happens to affordable, quality care once the early years are over? The kids this system was built for didn't disappear at age five. They went to school. And they still need somewhere to go.

Check out the article below and let the discussion and advocacy continue!

School-Age Care Is Canada’s Missing Middle in Child Care Policy | Canadian Child Care Federation Canada has invested heavily in the early years. The next question is whether it is prepared to support children and families with the same seriousness once school begins.Abstract:

Last Saturday Night Was So Much Fun!

At TOPP KIDS, you are supported by experienced leadership teams, professional development opportunities, mentorship, reflective practice, and a culture deeply rooted in relationship based care and the image of the child. Our programs are inspired by modern pedagogical practices including FLIGHT principles, emergent curriculum, child voice, inclusive environments, and responsive programming.

We are beyond proud to announce that our very own Program Coordinator, Stacy Thorne, has been nominated for the AECEA Association of Early Childhood Educators of Alberta Award of Recognition!

This prestigious award celebrates early childhood educators who are making outstanding contributions to Alberta's early learning and child care community — and Stacy is one of a select few nominees chosen this year. That says it all!

Stacy, your dedication, passion, and heart for our children and families do not go unnoticed. Every day you bring excellence to our program, and this nomination is a true reflection of the impact you make. We are so incredibly proud of you and so lucky to have you on our team!

Happy Early Childhood Education Day!

We believe the best learning happens when we play, grow, laugh, and learn together! And none of that would be possible without the heart and soul of our program: our amazing educators. 💛

Every day, our team gets down on the floor, joins in the laughter, celebrates every little milestone, and walks hand-in-hand with our kids on their journey of discovery. The patience, creativity, and love you bring makes TOPP KIDS a place where children truly flourish.

To every educator at TOPP KIDS and beyond, thank you for making every day an adventure worth remembering. TOPP KIDS are endlessly grateful for YOU.

Today, we celebrate and recognize the incredible work of early childhood educators across Alberta.

ECEs support children’s learning, well-being, belonging, and growth in ways that are both deeply meaningful and often unseen. Through relationships, care, advocacy, creativity, and everyday moments, educators make a lasting impact on children, families, and communities.

Throughout this week, we’ve had the privilege of sharing reflections and stories from educators as part of the "Our Why: Stories of Care, Commitment, and Compassion" series. These stories highlight the heart, skill, and dedication that shape the early learning and child care profession every day. On this ECE day, we invite you to reflect on your own "why".

To all early childhood educators: thank you for the work you do and the care you bring to your communities.

Happy ECE Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mamas out there! 🌸

From the sleepless nights and lullabies, to the school runs, snack time negotiations, and endless rounds of storytime, you do it all with so much love. 💛

Give your mom the biggest hugs and the sweetest kisses, because she deserves every single one!!

Our Team Deserves All the Love!!!

We believe our educators are doing some of the most important work in the world. Every single day, they are shaping the development of children who will grow up to be the heart of our society. That kind of work deserves more than recognition. It deserves to be celebrated, honored, and a little spoiling too!

To all our educators, thank you for showing up every single day with heart, energy, and so much love for the children in your care. You are the reason TOPP KIDS is so special!!

Big KUDOS to our event planning queen, Porsche! We will never stop being amazed by how she sets the vibe for every activity and how wildly beautiful her decorations always are! You are truly one of a kind!

Our Staff Showed up for the Community and We Couldn't Be More Proud!

Okotoks just sold an incredible 10,718 Smile Cookies for Baby It's Cold Outside during Smile Cookie Week at Tim Hortons! A huge shoutout to our amazing team who had gave up their time, rolled up their sleeves, and put so much love into every single cookie.

Another HUGE shoutout to , who bought dozens to the office!!!! We enjoyed every single bite of it!!!

Giving back to the community we call home means everything to us. So to every one of our volunteers and those who support the cookies, seriously, from the bottom of our hearts, we are so unbelievably proud of you all!

Our Kids Took Us Around the World in the Cultural Celebration Event!

We had Cumbia dancing that gave us full Colombian vibes, a Mexican display so detailed it had a real $50 bill on it, and a soccer deep-dive that reminded us Brazil has won the World Cup FIVE times !!

These kids spent three weeks researching, building, and pouring their hearts into sharing where they come from — and honestly we couldn't be more proud!! Every single one of them stepped up with so much confidence and joy. Families and staff packed the room to cheer them on, and the energy was just… infectious and full of Joy!!

This is what TOPP KIDS is really about. Yeah, we do before and after school care — but more than that, we raise kids who are curious, proud of who they are, and know their voice matters.

A Huge Shout Out to Our Educators!!
