Montrose Daycare & Childcare
About Our Preschool
Building Community Through Exceptional Preschool Education
Our Philosophy
Welcome to Montrose Daycare & Childcare, a trusted Calgary preschool dedicated to nurturing children’s growth, curiosity, and sense of belonging. Our centre is more than just a daycare—it’s a vibrant, multicultural community where every child is celebrated for who they are.
We offer licensed, government-subsidized programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarten, and school-aged children, with a strong focus on hands-on, play-based learning and outdoor exploration.
At Montrose Daycare & Childcare, we believe that every child is unique and develops at their own pace. Our preschool programs are guided by Alberta’s Flight Curriculum and designed to be hands-on, play-based, and responsive to each child’s interests and strengths. We emphasize outdoor play, sensory experiences, and loose parts exploration, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and a lifelong love of learning. Our inclusive and multicultural approach ensures that all children and families feel valued, respected, and at home within our preschool community.
