Demi Broderick has created a safe and inclusive centre for all children in the community of Airdrie.
As the founder of Creating Futures Daycare, Broderick wants families to know they have a home at her facility.
“Inclusive child care is needed in our community; we receive phone calls from parents that have been left without care because of their child’s needs, and it breaks my heart,” says Broderick, who faced a similar situation with her own son.
“We work with families when their children are struggling because we have invested in creating an inclusive space that can meet everyone’s needs. We have a private ECS program called A Heart for Children where therapists and certified teachers help the development and growth of every child. They are compassionate leaders who are patient and caring.”
Broderick has plans in 2024 to open a second location in Airdrie to help with the overwhelming need for diverse and quality child-care spaces in the community.
“Creating Futures is so much more than a daycare,” says nominator Lore Perez. “It’s a place where employees are supported in every aspect of their lives.
“I am honoured to work for Demi. She empowers her employees to achieve their goals and dreams and sets them up for success. She’s a strong advocate for mental health and balance between work and personal life.”
