About SCEP
A child expelled from several daycares for aggressive behaviour... a little girl shifted from one home to another so often she has no idea where she belongs... a family struggling to understand why their four-year-old won't speak and remains in his own world... a child leaving a beloved foster home for a new 'forever' adoptive family. These are just a few examples of children and families that have come to SCEP CENTRE since our doors opened in 1968 and have found help.
Our Staff
Our staff have a wide range of backgrounds that include social work, psychiatric nursing, psychology and teaching. Most of our dedicated senior staff have been with SCEP CENTRE for ten years and more.
Expertise is added through the work of a speech language pathologist, music therapist and at times, an art therapist.
Mission
SCEP CENTRE, an intensive early intervention preschool program, supports children with complex needs and offers guidance and support for their parents/caregivers.
Vision
SCEP CENTRE helps vulnerable young children and their families develop their full potential in a safe and supportive environment.

Our History
The program was designed in 1968 by Elisabeth P. Brandt, Ph. D., S.O.M., specialist in the communication problems of young children. A group of parents of troubled teens had requested this because there were no services for their children at an early age. SCEP continues to provide services to families and agencies in southern Saskatchewan who are concerned with the problems of young children.
In 1994, Patricia B. Clark, B.A., M.Ed., R.S.W., SCEP's first staff member and Executive Director from 1984-2019, initiated SCEP CENTRE's Day Care Friends program to provide hands-on training and support to child care workers.
