Premier Care and Education Programs in Calgary & Chestermere, AB
Jr. Preschool
Ages 2-3
In our Play with Me classes, we will delight in the endless energy of your children, their joy in playing and seeing them develop in this wonderful Montessori, play-based, and arts-integrated learning environment! Toddlers & Preschoolers are always moving and exploring! In fact movement is not only your child’s favorite new-found skill, it is his/her most effective way to learn. Engaging children in purposeful movement and exploratory activities is the perfect preparation for the all-important skills that are executive functions. Enjoy a lovely morning or afternoon to yourself while we provide your child with quality and educational activities and learning explorations guided by qualified early childhood educators! In addition, your child need not be toilet-trained! This is a fantastic program to transition your child into preschool when he or she is ready.
