FRCDN is a non-profit, licensed centre that has been a part of Manitoba Early Learning and Childcare since 1975.  We run as a co-operative and in order to run effectively we require parent involvement; this can be at whatever capacity you are able.

Our preschool site is licensed for a total of 36 spaces; from 18 months to six years. In September 2017, FRCDN opened a school-age site which is located in Gladstone School. This program is licensed for up to 30 spaces.

FRCDN prides ourselves on building positive relationships within our community. We provide a safe, warm, loving environment where the children develop a strong foundation where they learn to feel confident and secure to explore their environment, indoors and outdoors in our beautiful play space.

We would like to gratefully acknowledge the generous contributions of The Winnipeg Foundation towards our outdoor learning environment, as well as supporting our ongoing programming and nutrition initiatives for the children in our community.

The Winnipeg Foundation connects donors from all walks of life with local charitable organizations that help our city flourish, for all. The Foundation is an endowment-based organization which means gifts received are pooled and invested. The income generated provides a stable source of support for our community For Good. Forever.

The Foundation makes community grants to charitable organizations in support of the following Cause areas: Arts, Culture & Heritage, Children, Youth & Families, Environment & Animal Welfare, Health, Wellness & Recreation, Literacy, Education & Employment. In 2022, it distributed $85 million to the community.

Established in 1921, The Winnipeg Foundation is Canada’s first community foundation. Today, it is a leader in what has become an international philanthropic movement.
