Calgary Daycare Options for Parents Heading Back to Work
One of the hardest things to do after your baby is born is to part with those warm cuddly snuggles and tiny cries and head back to work. I totally get it, mama! That makes finding the perfect Calgary daycare (because they deserve nothing less) a top priority. It may also seem like a tall order. We want our babies to be loved and cared for in a safe and enriching environment as if we were there. But, the thought of daycare can leave any mom feeling unsure and anxious. All normal feelings, I assure you! However, some genuinely great Calgary daycare options can calm those worries and fears and care for you with love and experience. If that sounds like what you need, then these places are worth looking into.
Four Calgary Daycares Your Little Ones Will Love
LITTLE ROOTS LEARNING CENTRE
For over 6 years, their highly trained teachers have been working with Calgary families to ensure and provide award-winning Early Education programs and high-quality daycare in their NW/SW location throughout Calgary. When it comes to infant care (6 weeks to 1 year), they want both baby and parents to feel confident in their choice and work with them to make this new transition easier. They work hard to create warm, inviting, clean, safe, and supportive rooms for babies of all abilities and backgrounds. They take children up to KG age.
BRIGHTPATH
Their kind, caring, and well-educated teachers work with families to ensure each child is on their own schedule while thriving and being loved the way they should be. They help each child grow their senses by offering age-appropriate and non-toxic learning materials. These include tools such as rattles, balls, teethers, busy boxes for infants to investigate, and so much more. You can view their locations and their programs on their website.
WILLOWBRAE
Their staff believes in nurturing each child’s own path of development. Through their unique programs Willowbrae Young Scholars, Body Break KID FIT, and Willowbrae Creative Kids children learn to express themselves, engage in individual and group interactions and use classroom materials purposefully and productively. Children are exposed to communication, language and literacy, social emotional experiences, healthy lifestyle habits, creative opportunities and problem solving. Through age-appropriate activities, children develop and enhance their skills, giving them a stronger foundation for future learning. Above all, this Calgary daycare wants your trust that your little one is in good hands. They like to keep parents in the loop and communicate about their child’s daily activities.
ASPEN HILL MONTESSORI
Montessori methods engage the whole child and make learning a personal challenge rather than a chore. Children who experience self-directed learning from an early age train their minds to see life as a learning experience, and regularly pursue learning activities outside of school. If you have a child that is an eager learner and is an independent explorer of their world, a Montessori education can help to feed their curiosity. Begin with complete Montessori programming in Nido (8 months to 15 months at entry), and see your child excel through our Bambini (19 months to 3.3 years) and Junior and Senior Casa (3 through 6 yrs) classrooms. Our enhanced Kindergarten program provides accelerated learning for children ages 4.9+ years.
