CALGARY, Sept. 25, 2012 /CNW/ - Edleun Group, Inc. ("Edleun" or the
"Company") , the leading provider of quality early childhood
education and care in Canada, announced today the completion of its
first "ECERS-R" quality assurance audit. "ECERS-R" refers to an
audit completed using the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale
- Revised and included 17 individual child care centres in Alberta
that benefitted from the implementation of Edleun programming
following acquisition. This process, conducted by a qualified
independent third party, ensures that Edleun's quality improvement
program is on track and that the Company is providing a high
quality early learning environment. "When Edleun was created in
2010, we promised all stakeholders, including parents, our
employees, shareholders, and the communities that Edleun's child
care centres serve, that our model would be different," said Dale
Kearns, President of Edleun. "We recognized how difficult it can be
for parents to find high quality, fulfilling learning environments
for their children and we believed that if we made high quality
options available, parents and families would choose Edleun.
We now have independent and objective validations from the child
care industry's internationally recognized audit program that this
commitment is being fulfilled." Edleun's learning centres achieved
a weighted average score of 81%, which compares very favourably to
both the total weighted average of all Alberta commercial child
care centres of 66% as well as the total weighted average for all
commercial and not-for-profit centres of 73%. "While we are pleased
with the results of the quality assurance audit, which indicate
that our service and programming are at a level that surpasses both
commercial and not-for-profit operators, we will not be
complacent," said Mary Ann Curran, Chief Executive Officer of
Edleun. "As we grow we will integrate the quality assurance audit
into our continuous improvement program and processes that include
regular reviews at each learning centre. This will ensure Edleun
centres are indeed high quality and parents can be confident that
Edleun is the provider of choice for their children." About Edleun
