Infants 0-24 months

Infancy is a wondrous period of growth and exploration. Our infant programs focus on building meaningful relationships with our families, built on trust, care and attention. By recognizing and acknowledging the needs of each individual child, infants feel secure and safe in their environment and thus creates a strong foundation to support the rapidly developing social, emotional and physical needs of infants while they explore the world around them.

Senior kindergarten 5 years old

Children enrolled in our kindergarten program are engaged in full day programming, in a small class size, with experienced educators. Our teaching style aligns with Montessori methodology while using a hybrid approach to ensure children are ready for Edmonton's school system in Grade 1. Children learn at their own pace as we continuously foster a love for learning. We strengthen and build a solid foundation needed for a child’s first years of elementary school. Children are exposed to literacy, numeracy, botany, zoology, geography and will begin to gain an appreciation for fine arts such as music, drama and art. Our thematic units create a framework that allow for space and adaptation to allow for student directed learning.

Through carefully crafted lessons, students continue to develop socially and emotionally, learn healthy habits, develop positive interaction skills and increase personal responsibility.
