Welcome to ABC Head Start!

Our Family Handbook 2023-2024 provides information on what to expect from our early learning program. Please read through the handbook before your child enters the Head Start program in September and use it as a guide throughout the school year.

If you have any questions regarding the contents of the handbook please call our Family Engagement Team at 780.461.5353.

Important Contact Information

Transportation Contact

If you have any questions about your child’s bus please contact the transportation company directly.


You would call the transportation provider if:
- the bus is late
- your child will be absent
- for pick up and drop off times


We will be using two different companies this year so make sure to contact the one servicing your child’s site:

Cunningham Transport Ltd: 780.458.3255
Serving our North Campus at Delwood School and Millwoods Campus at Millbourne Mall.

Tiffin Transportation: 780.222.5738
Serving our Aleda Patterson Site at Aleda Patterson School and Westmount Campus.

ABC Head Start Contact

Each ABC Head Start Site has a Site Assistant, sort of like the school secretary. They would be happy to support your family to answer any questions you may have about your child’s site or direct the questions to the appropriate person.


You would call a Site Assistant if:
- your child will be absent
- if you are moving and need to update your address or any contact information (please provide at least 2-weeks notice so there are no interruptions to transportation)
- if you will be picking up your child or there is a change to their regular pick up routine
