African Caribbean Centre of Central Alberta
Building Bright Futures:
ACCoCA Child Care Centre Fundraiser
African Caribbean Centre of Central Alberta (ACCoCA) | Red Deer, Alberta
Our Goal: $75,000 by December 2026
Why Child Care Matters
Every child deserves a safe, caring place to learn and grow. Many families in Red Deer and Central Alberta, especially newcomer and African Caribbean families, struggle to find affordable, culturally welcoming child care. Long waitlists and high costs keep parents from working, studying or settling into their new community.
Our Plan
ACCoCA is working to start a child care centre that supports children and families with a warm, inclusive and culturally affirming environment where every child belongs.
