An inclusive non-profit

Hope’s Home provides necessary care for children with complex medical needs, their siblings, and typically developing children in the community. From Early Learning & Childcare services to our Supportive Living homes, our inclusive services provide a place for all children to grow in a loving and supportive environment.

The first medically inclusive daycare in Canada.

Most childcare centres are not equipped to care for children with specialized medical needs, leaving families and caregivers without the support they require. Hope’s Home provides these families with a safe and inclusive environment for their children to play and be kids regardless of any medical needs they may have.

The staff at Hope’s Home consists of Administrative Assistants, Nurses, Early Childhood Educators, Physical Development Consultants, Recreation Programmers, and Developmental Workers.

Our Vision

All children are loved, accepted and valued members of their communities.

Our Purpose

We provide a safe and inclusive environment where kids with diverse needs learn, grow and thrive.

Our Values

We believe in the inherent value of every life by creating a family environment through trust, respect, fun and exceptional care.

the story of hope.

The founder of Hope’s Home, Jacque Tisher, describes herself as a mother before all else. She was blessed with her first born daughter Acacia, in 1993. Jacque’s eyes were opened to the world of children with complex medical needs when her own daughter was diagnosed with spina bifida.

Early in life, Acacia blessed so many friends, family and complete strangers with her joyous attitude and grace. Her dreams were larger than life and she believed anything in this world was possible.

Being a mother to Acacia inspired Jacque to become a foster mother. In 2003, the opportunity came to meet another potential new member of the family, Hope Dawn Marie. The Tisher’s quickly fell in love with her beautiful smile and the twinkle in her eyes and Jacque immediately wanted to bring Hope home.

On February 3^rd, 2004 Hope was held with heavy hearts as she passed away. She lived her short, sweet life of 10 months in the General Hospital in Regina.

During her time with Hope, Jacque quickly realized that the care that was available in a hospital setting was not available to families of children with complex medical needs in their own homes. Bridging the gap of community healthcare, childcare and proper funding is where the idea of Hope’s Home began. All children like Hope deserve a home and a family to love and care for them. And so, on November 1st, 2005 Hope’s Home opened their doors for the first time.

Hope’s Home no longer runs out of Jacque’s home, but the mission remains the same. To give children the opportunity to be kids, and to give families the chance to be families.

“Thank you for the inspiration you gave to chasing our dreams and making Hope’s Home a reality.”
