Building Strong Foundations for Lifelong Learning
Our Approach to Learning
At Beacon Heights ECS, our programming follows Alberta Education's curriculum, providing children with developmentally appropriate learning experiences that build foundational skills and prepare them for future academic success.
Our educators combine purposeful play, hands-on exploration, and intentional teaching to support each child's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. We also incorporate elements of the Montessori approach, encouraging independence, self-confidence, and opportunities for children to take an active role in their learning.
We introduce foundational STEM concepts through science and mathematics activities that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. By asking reflective questions, encouraging children to make observations, and exploring different solutions, our educators help children develop the confidence to ask questions, think independently, and discover how the world around them works.
Age-Based Programs
We Offer Two Age-Based Programs
Junior Pre-Kindergarten
Ages 2 Years, 8 Months and older
Our Junior Pre-Kindergarten program introduces children to structured learning environments through play, sensory exploration, movement, and social interaction. Children begin developing communication, independence, emotional regulation, and early learning skills at their own pace.
Pre-Kindergarten
Ages 3 Years, 9 Months to 4 Years, 7 Months
Our Pre-Kindergarten program builds on these foundations by introducing more structured learning experiences that encourage early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, social development, and Kindergarten readiness.
Small Class Sizes, Individualized Attention
We maintain small child-to-staff ratios and provide additional individualized support, including one-to-one assistance, when appropriate to a child's needs.
