Welcome
Together we can.
We recognize that parenting and family life is tough, and we are here to offer support, education and life stories.

We work hard at the BriarPatch! Our team consists of our preschool teaching staff, our admin staff and our volunteers. Bios will be listed soon on our "About Us" page.
The BriarPatch Family Life Education Centre began in 1996 when Cheryl, our Executive Director, her husband and another couple began the process to start a Family Resource Centre in Sherwood Park. In 1997, this small non~profit was incorporated under the Societies Act of Alberta and in 2006, it became a Registered Canadian Charity.
With Covid prevalent in 2020, we are undergoing lots of change this year and are currently offering the following programs:
* BriarPatch Community Preschool
* Grief Support Programming
* Grief and Life Counselling
* Family Life Series, which will re~launch in 2023.
