About MaxECS

Established in 2020, MaxECS is dedicated to providing comprehensive early childhood learning and intervention services.

At MaxECS, we offer a diverse range of therapy services including speech and language therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, behavioural therapy, and psychological services. These services are tailored to children who have been assessed and qualify for early interventions.

MaxECS utilizes Alberta Education’s Program Unit Funding (PUF) to support children identified with exceptionalities. We also access Mild-Moderate funding for children with mild to moderate delays in areas such as speech and language or motor development. At MaxECS, we are committed to providing exceptional care and support to help children reach their full potential. Our early childhood intervention services are overseen by Alberta Education.

Governed by a board of directors, MaxECS is supported by a dedicated team including an Education Director, Finance Director, Administrative Director, as well as therapists, teachers, and Educational Assistants (EA’s). Together, we create a supportive environment focused on maximizing each child’s potential.
