Name of creator
Administrative history
The Edmonton Crèche Society was incorporated in 1930, although a crèche had been in operation in the city prior to World War I. Its name was changed to the Edmonton Crèche and Day Nursery Society in 1947. Its purpose was to look after the health and welfare of children of parents who were sole supporters, or who were ill and needed short term assistance. The organization was supported financially through the Community Chest, municipal grants, and through assistance from many other charitable organizations. As the municipal and provincial governments became more involved in social services, and the number of private day care facilities increased, the importance of the society declined. In 1964 the society decided to close its facility and its assets were turned over to the Edmonton Community Day Nursery, which carried on in its place.
Custodial history
The donor, Inez Stephens, was the final president of the Society.
