TOWN OF PINCHER CREEK DAYCARE
PROPOSAL - FINAL DRAFT
SEPTEMBER 2017
TOWN OF PINCHER CREEK DAYCARE
PROPOSAL
JUNE 2017
1
THE BEGINNING
To better understand the needs of the community related to child care supports and options, the Town
of Pincher Creek engaged in a partnership to gather information, review existing child care options and
explore space possibilities. This strategy is reinforced with localized research that identified only 50% of
children in Pincher Creek and area are entering school (kindergarten) growing appropriately in all
developmental domains. (ECMAP, 2014) In addition, this research is reinforced by the Alberta
Benchmark Survey results that identified “Over 85% of respondents agreed that child care providers
have as much influence on child development as elementary school teachers and should be trained. It
also identified that approximately 60% of respondents indicated that the responsibility for children is
both a family and a social responsibility.” (2013).
The most recent strategic plan for the Town of Pincher Creek aims to address economic development,
sustainability as well as community and social needs. The following information will provide a snapshot
of the current influences that have a direct bearing on the council’s ability to make informed decisions
related to the community’s need for quality and affordable child care which is directly related to
building strong thriving community.
GATHERING DATA
The Town of Picher Creek secured the services of Motivention to provide the residents of Pincher Creek
and area a chance to express their views, concerns and opportunities related to child care needs in the
community.
Three different on-line surveys were created to help build a broad understanding of perspective related
to the child care needs in the community.
1. General Survey – targeted all residents 2. Child Care Professional Survey – targeted community members that work directly in child care
(licensed and unlicensed caregivers were sent the survey) 3. Employer Survey – targeted local business to share their experiences related to child care needs
within the community (majority of responses came for phone interviews)
The methods used to gather information from the community included Online/Facebook, Online/Email,
Interview, Public Meetings and Self-Selected Interviews.
2
In summary, below are some of the answers to key questions that the community was asked.
In general, do you think that families in our community have access to adequate child care?
Yes – 18% No - 70% Don’t Know – 12%
How satisfied are you with your current child care arrangements
Very Satisfied – 34% Not Satisfied – 22% Somewhat Satisfied – 44%
Do you currently access provincial child care subsidy with your child care arrangements

$90, 000 and over – 40% $60,000 – 90, 000 – 30% $0.00 - $60, 000 – 30%

Above numbers are projections based on Children’s World Daycare St. Michael’s location and Town Hall Location.
Using the declining population numbers and the current number of children currently in daycare the calculations show a drop in children
requiring daycare. However, there are children utilizing private day homes in the Pincher Creek area that may change to the new location thus
stabilizing the number.
Right now, the model that we created makes some assumptions, mostly assuming consistent breakdown of demographics in the Town. For example, assuming the "share" of the population between 0-4 is always consistent, assuming the "share" of those that use care and assuming the breakdown of ages in the 0-4 year old category remains consistent in the more specific age groups. The model allows manual entry if these assumptions do not seem to hold true and/or if the user has specific numbers (vs. estimates and projections).

Utility/Mudroom off foyer with hangers for each child, space for boots shoes, drawers
or baskets for mittens, hats etc. By creating a mudroom with built in storage, it would
eliminate the cubby’s shown on the equipment list.
Main Office located off the foyer with filing cabinets, desk and storage.
Large foyer with front desk for parent pickup and drop off (bottlenecked space during
busy times). This space will be used for the Office Manager as shown on the
organizational chart.
Powder rooms large enough for wheelchair access as well change table
Half walls to divide off play spaces between the children of different age groups
Motivention can work with home builders to design the layout and flow that the house would
function the best with. Below are some questions that need to be considered in the new space:
Will the new daycare be responsible for feeding the children? If yes, then the kitchen
and panty should stay the size listed. If no, those 2 spaces could be reduced.
.
DESIGN SUGGESTIONS AND QUESTIONS

Custom Built Manufactured Home Approximate cost per square foot – $145.00 Mandala Custom Homes Cost per square foot - $90.00 - $160.00 depending on package choice This cost ONLY includes the “Structural Weathertight Shell” Portable Buildings Cost per square foot - $140.00 - $200.00 Pricing will be determined through the RFP process based on the manufacturer, building chosen and finishes. The equipment lists as well as the sample layouts show having individual spaces for each age group. Due to the space being utilized for multiple age groups you can create one space that will cater to each group. For example: The mudroom with built-in cubby’s for shoes, coats, mitts etc. would eliminate having cubby’s in the room.

Currently there are a number of research reports that highlight the essential need to focus on quality
when adding additional spaces for child care. The elements to consider when focusing on quality
include the needs of the family (community), staff qualification, and accreditation standards. In many
cases high quality child care can alleviate social pressures and outcomes by the early preventive
opportunities that can exist in the early years.
Strengthening Families Protective/Promotive Factors (Centre for the Study of Social Policy) http://www.cssp.org/reform/strengtheningfamilies The Centre for Social Policy (CSSP) works to create new ideas and promote public policies that produce equal opportunities and better futures for all children and families, especially those most often left behind. The foundational work is a child, family and community well-being framework that includes a focus on protective and promotive factors Protective factors are conditions or attributes of individual, families, communities or the larger society that mitigate or eliminate risk. Promotive factors are conditions or attributes of individual, families, communities or the larger society that actively enhance well-being.
