Daycare

We believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and free to explore the world around them. Connected to Beacon Heights ECS, our daycare provides a welcoming environment where children can grow, learn, and build confidence from infancy through kindergarten.

Care · Compassion · Commitment

Our approach evolves with each stage of development, combining responsive care, play, exploration, and meaningful learning experiences. We also incorporate opportunities for children to learn about different cultures, traditions, and celebrations through our programming, while respecting each family's preferences around participation.

Strong communication with families is an important part of our approach. Through our parent app, families receive daily updates and photos that offer a glimpse into their child's activities, experiences, and learning throughout the day. Parents and guardians can also use the app to communicate directly with our team.

Our team includes educators and staff from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Children have opportunities for French language exposure throughout the day, including familiar songs, words, and activities in both English and French. Many of our team members also speak additional languages, helping families from diverse backgrounds feel comfortable and supported when communicating with our staff.

That connection continues in person. Our educators are available at drop-off and pick-up to welcome families, answer questions, and share updates about each child's day. We want families to feel informed, comfortable, and connected to their child's experience at Beacon Heights.

Infants

Our infant program provides a cozy, nurturing environment where babies receive individualized care while beginning to explore the world around them.

We recognize that every baby has their own routines and needs. Our educators work with families to support each child's individual feeding, comfort, and care routines. Families may also provide food from home with instructions based on their child's needs and preferences.

Even our youngest children are learning every day. Through an emergent approach, educators provide age-appropriate experiences that encourage sensory exploration, movement, early communication, social interaction, and fine- and gross-motor development.

Toddlers

Our toddler program is built around connection, comfort, and growing independence. Following an Emergent curriculum, educators observe each child's interests, developmental needs, and individual personality to create meaningful learning experiences.

Toddlers learn through hands-on exploration, movement, language, sensory play, creative activities, practical life experiences, and everyday routines. Predictable routines and gentle transitions help children feel secure while giving them the confidence to explore and try new things.

Educators provide individualized support, encourage communication and problem-solving, and use positive guidance to help children develop social and emotional skills. We also work closely with families to create consistency between home and daycare and support each child's individual routines and needs.

Montessori-Based Preschool

Our preschool program brings together principles from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Emergent learning approaches to create an environment that encourages independence, curiosity, creativity, exploration, and hands-on learning.

Children are encouraged to make choices, solve problems, build independence, and become active participants in their learning while developing foundational skills that prepare them for their next stage of education.

Our preschool programming is also aligned with Alberta Education expectations, helping children become familiar with the skills and learning experiences they will encounter in Kindergarten. This continuity supports a smoother and more confident transition from preschool into Kindergarten.
