A HUGE THANK YOU to the Blackfoot Lions Club for moving and repairing our back yeard fence. Adding in 4 additional feet has made a WORLD of difference in this play yard. We now use the play yard on a daily basis and could not be happier!
The cabin got a much needed refresh! The exterior was pressure washed and stained thanks to volunteers and the ED. The stain was donated by Cloverdale Paint in Lloydminster. The before and after photos are amazing!
Every month each child is assigned a day where they are the special person; they can bring in a toy, a fave stuffy and sometimes even their pet! Rosie, a 17 hh horse was the pet of the day!
Stage 2 of the expansion; planning is currently underway. We are working hard on grant funding applications, obtaining architectural drawings, and collaborating with Buffalo Trail Public School Division. This part of the expansion focuses on the daycare and adding to our current location. We are looking to fund an expansion that will include 36 new full-time daycare spaces, but also improve staff working conditions by adding actual admin offices (2), a staff breakroom, and a janitorial closet. If you have seen our current space, you know that the staff are taking their breaks in their vehicles, the Executive Director and the admin team share a kitchen (which is used for sanitization and as the storage room) as an office and, we don't have a janitorial space - supplies are shoved wherever we can find room. UPDATE: This plan is on hold due to lack of qualified staff in the area, lack of adequate housing for staff and families moving to the area and the unknown future of federal and provincial funding.
As the Cabin moves forward with our future expansion, the first stage of moving the Out of School Program into the Kitscoty Elementary School and our collaboration with Buffalo Trail Public Schools has been a tremendous success. We thank Buffalo Trail Public School Division for their support in our program.
The Cabin is excited to announce that we are part of #ENBFuelingFutures program. Enbridge has awarded the Cabin $2500 towards STEM activities for both our Daycare and Out of School Care programs. This funding will support summer programming this year. Watch our website and facebook for updates on what the little creators discover.

Why do you like coming to daycare?
"Because it's fun!" ~ Aubrey, Age 5
"Because I can do the monkey bars and hang out with my friends!" ~ Payton, Age 6
"We play and I love class!" ~ Maren, Age 3
“In just a short time at the cabin, we have witnessed continued growth within our kids. They love daycare and always look forward to going there to see all their friends. Our youngest gets especially excited as he feels like he is “going to school” just like his sisters. The cabin staff always provides an upbeat, inviting, safe, interactive, and inclusive space for our kids to engage in age appropriate activities both indoors and outdoors. We also love the daily reports and pictures at the end of the day. We are so grateful to be a part of the Cabin 4 Kids crew.”
-The MacKinnon Family
