ABOUT JELIBEAN

A Home Away From Home for Red Deer Families

Licensed, play-based childcare rooted in curiosity, community, and a little bit of mess.

Our Story

The premier choice for quality childcare in Red Deer

At Jelibean Daycare, we understand how much a nurturing, engaging environment matters to a child's ability to learn, grow, and thrive. Our dedicated team of caregivers creates a safe, supportive atmosphere where every child feels valued and encouraged to explore their interests.

We believe every child is special and deserves individualized attention, so our programs are shaped around each child's needs and curiosities — whether that's science, art or outdoor play. Choosing Jelibean means choosing a trusted partner in your child's journey: a home away from home where your little one feels loved and supported.

Our philosophy

We embrace the beauty of messiness

Getting messy isn't just a byproduct of play — it's a powerful avenue for
exploration, creativity and self-expression. Through hands-on activities children develop fine motor skills, cognitive abilities and social connections with their peers.

Every splatter of paint, pile of sand and doughy creation is a stepping stone toward understanding the world. We celebrate the joy of discovery and the lessons that come from the delightful chaos of play.

OUR TEAM

Educators Who Know Your Child by Name

Qualified & Certified

All lead educators hold recognized early childhood education certifications.

Background-Checked

Every staff member completes a full background check before working with children.

CPR & First Aid Trained

Our team is trained and current on child-specific CPR and first aid.

Low Turnover, Real Relationships

Many of our educators have been with Jelibean for years — consistency matters.

Meals & Snacks

Jelibean does not currently offer a daily meal program — parents pack lunches and snacks so you know exactly what your child eats. Our meal policy is designed to put your child's health and your peace of mind first. As a fun bonus, we treat the kids to a special hot lunch once a month.
