Here is what our clients are saying
“It has been an amazing experience with Calgary West Family Resource. My son had a lot of fun with virtual programs like Music Box and had an exceptional wonderful summer break with Kindred. He was so interested in all activities you have been holding and asking me to keep registering for the coming programs.”
“We attend family events as well as weekly programs for my two and three year old kids. They have so much fun and a safe place to learn new stuff and socialize with other families.”
