Saskatoon’s First Medically Inclusive Child Care Centre
As a charitable organization, Hope’s Home is the only medically inclusive child care centre in Canada, providing care where kids with complex medical and typical needs learn, grow and thrive. With on-site nurses that provide medical care to children, Hope’s Home is a national leader in filling a gap that exists in child and infant healthcare.
To continue providing the best care for children with complex medical needs across Saskatchewan, Hope’s Home is launching “There’s No Place Like Hope” capital campaign, with an $8.6 million fundraising goal to open Saskatoon’s first medically inclusive child care centre.
In the fall of 2024, we proudly opened the doors to a dedicated number of children. Saskatoon families now need your support to complete the building, opening up more spaces for kids with complex medical needs.
Accepting new submissions for all children ages 0 – 6. Add your child to the waitlist today.

The new Saskatoon location features two separate centres in one building and will care for a total of 144 kids ages 6 weeks to 6 years old. It will include 8 classrooms to separate kids based on their developmental age. The child care centre will have physical therapy spaces, sensory rooms, a gymnasium, and a full kitchen space where homemade meals will be carefully made based on dietary restrictions and allergies.
AODBT completed the designs, and Strata Developments lead the renovations, transforming Hope’s Home’s vision into a tangible space of hope. The new centre is designed with child-first principles like Reggio Emilia, allowing kids an inclusive environment that meets their diverse needs.
Spaces will be held for kids with complex medical needs making this center an extension of pediatric healthcare. On-site nursing care, early childhood educators, developmental workers, and physical development consultants will provide Saskatoon families with a safe and inclusive environment where children receive the care they need.

To provide the best health care for kids with critically complex medical needs beyond the walls of the hospital, Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation (JPCHF) is partnering with Hope’s Home by providing a $700,000 gift towards the specialized pediatric equipment and accessible medical fixtures required within this unique facility. In addition, JPCHF received a donor-designated gift of $300,000 in support of caring for critically complex pediatric health care needs and programming for Hope’s Home. This partnership also places a family-focused approach with a daytime respite option for families and caregivers outside Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.
Hope’s Home is thankful for our partnership with Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation and the work we have been able to accomplish together across the province and now in Saskatoon as we care for children with complex medical needs. Together, we are all meeting the unique needs of our children.
