Hello, Sundre
Shining Stars
KIDS PLACE
DAY CAREA brand-new, play-based day care for children 6 months to 5 years, right on Main Avenue in Sundre. We're getting ready to open, so reach out and we'll keep you posted.
A new day care, built for Sundre families
Shining Stars is a new, locally owned day care where kids are known by name, families are part of the team, and every day has room for wonder.
Our days are built on play-based learning, guided by the Reggio Emilia approach and Flight, Alberta's early learning and curriculum framework. In plain terms: children lead with their curiosity, and our educators turn it into real learning.
Explore our approachKnown by name
Small groups mean every child has an educator who knows their favourite song and their nap routine.
Learning through play
Blocks, paint, stories and mud puddles, each one a chance to grow curious, confident kids.
Outside every day
Fresh air in every season, with the right gear and a yard built for running.
Always in the loop

How children learn here
Three ideas shape every room, every routine and every day at Shining Stars.
Play-based learning
Children learn best by doing. Building, pretending, painting and exploring are how they grow language, math, friendship and confidence.
Why play matters ReggioReggio Emilia inspired
We see every child as capable and curious. Our rooms invite discovery, and projects grow from children's own questions.
