Bragg Creek Education Services Association (BCESA) partners with preschools, daycares and dayhomes to administer Alberta Education funding for children who have been identified with a variety of learning needs. The BCESA currently provides services in Calgary, Springbank, Bragg Creek, Cochrane and Banff/Canmore.

Program Unit Funding (PUF)

 

Program Unit Funding is available to children who have been identified with severe delays and require support within their learning environment. PUF is available for a maximum of three years. The child must be registered in and be attending a kindergarten, preschool, daycare or community program that offers a minimum of 475 hours for Kindergarten children, 400 hours for 4-year-olds and 300 hours for 3-year-olds.  PUF children have three parent meetings each school year to review the Individualized Program Plan (IPP) document with the child's specialized goals.

​

Mild/Moderate (MM) Funding

​

This level of funding provides services for children with mild to moderate delays in one area such as speech or motor development. This funding is available for a maximum of two years, one of which must be the child’s kindergarten year.  The child must be registered in and be attending a kindergarten, preschool, daycare or community program that offers a minimum of 475 hours for the school year.  MM children do not have parent meetings but parents are encouraged to reach out to the team if they have any questions or concerns regarding their child's specialized services. An Individualized Program Plan (IPP) document with the child's specialized goals will be sent to the parent at the beginning of the year and an updated IPP the end of the year.

​

​Children receive a multi-disciplinary team who will work in the classroom on developmentally appropriate learning goals, in consultation with teachers, parents and teaching assistants.
