The kidSKAN Way

kidSKAN is for everybody with an interest in early childhood development in Saskatchewan. We have diverse visitors, with differing interests, so we have organized our content to make it easy to find. You can browse by Audience, by Project, or by Key Concept using the menu column on the left.

Whenever new content gets posted to kidSKAN, we classify it to try and keep things focused. That way, we can serve very different users with one comprehensive web site.

We also support a rich notification system, so when you find a project, or an event or even an entire category of information that you want to follow, just click the appropriate "subscribe to" link at the bottom of the page, so that any time that information gets updated, you'll receive an email notice. To use the notifications, you'll need to register for a kidSKAN account, but it's free, fast and well worth your time. Sign up in the menu at the top left.

Let us know what you think, by sending us an email through the Contact Us menu item, or submitting a document to us to publish. It is it is our goal to use this web community to connect, support and work with people across the province.
