At South Calgary Montessori & Childcare, each day is a celebration when it comes to fun and activities. But in general, our kids are engaged in various activities to nurture their curiosity to learn something new each day.

At South Calgary Montessori & Childcare, we offer healthy breakfast and two times snacks complete with fruits and vegetables, all prepared in-house. Parents only need to provide lunch. 

You child must bring a water bottle, sunscreen, extra change of clothes, diapers, indoor and outdoor shoes, sheets for napping and a hat in their bag or on their head!

These programs are subject to change. Please call us at   403-523-9889  to find out about any upcoming vacation programs.

At our daycare centre, we make sure that parents and families have maximum involvement and access to their kids’ activities and progress. To help facilitate this we use the HiMAMA ChildCare App, which  updates you on all the happenings in the Centre. Please don’t forget, we are always here to answer any questions you have in person or over the phone!
