Every child deserves to be safe.

Jessica's Story
Jessica is the reason we do what we do. Our doors opened 25 years ago today, and it’s stories like Jessica’s that perfectly exemplify the heart and the purpose behind Kids Kottage - keeping children safe. We want to take some time to celebrate 25 years of stories like Jessica’s. 25 years of keeping children safe and families strong. 25 years of serving Edmonton’s most vulnerable; the children.

We are here to help and to serve Alberta’s most vulnerable populations.
Kids Kottage Foundation is grateful for the continued support from our community, funders, and donors.
Together, we can get through this. Through compassion, empathy, and community spirit.
Who are we?
We all need help from time to time
To stop the threat of abuse and to minimize the stress these parents are facing, we offer to take the children for up to 72 hours. The children are kept safe at the Kottage while their parents, relieved of parenting responsibilities for a short time, identify and implement plans to solve or mitigate the issue of the crisis. Parents in crisis who bring their children to the Kottage are met with support and encouragement.
