HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE ABC CENTRE
It is with many mixed emotions that we announce the closure of the ABC Centre playrooms. These walls have seen so many smiles and laughs over the years so it is hard to close this chapter.
BUT…we also have so much excitement as we make way for a whole new use of the rooms.
After two years of anticipation, the moment has arrived!
We're thrilled to share that the Early Learning Centre is opening a new location in Abbey SK, just 20 minutes from Cabri. With 40 spaces, this marks a significant milestone in providing accessible childcare to the community. Thank you for your patience and support over the past two years – we can't wait to embark on this new journey together! Registration forms for both centres in the comments.
