A day in the life

Kids thrive on rhythm. Here's how a day flows, from the first hello to the last goodbye.

Times are a typical day in our preschool room.

    How kids learn here

    Every activity connects to one of these areas of growth.

    Words and stories

    Read-alouds, rhymes, puppet shows and lots of real conversations build strong language skills.

    Counting and curiosity

    Sorting, measuring, building and baking turn early math and science into play.

    Moving bodies

    Climbing, dancing, balancing and outdoor games grow strong muscles and coordination.

    Feelings and friends

    Naming feelings, taking turns and solving problems together build kind, resilient kids.

    Art and imagination

    Paint, clay, costumes and music give kids room to create and express themselves.

    Our community

    Seasonal celebrations, nature walks and visits from local helpers connect kids to Sundre.

    Healthy snacks, happy tummies

    We provide a healthy morning snack and afternoon snack every day. Families pack their child's lunch.

    Our snack menu follows Canada's Food Guide and features plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. We're a nut-aware centre, so please pack nut-free lunches, and we work with families on allergies and dietary needs.

    Nut-aware kitchen and individual allergy plans.

    Lunch from home

    Pack a nut-free lunch in a labelled bag with an ice pack.

    Water first

    Water and milk, no sugary drinks.

    Staying in touch

    You'll never wonder how the day went.

    • Daily notes on snacks, naps, diapers and highlights
    • Photos of special moments and projects
    • Monthly newsletter with upcoming events
    • Quick chats at pick-up and scheduled check-ins any time

    Outside in every season

    Fresh foothills air is part of the curriculum.

    We head outside every day the weather allows, usually twice. In winter that means snow forts and sledding hills, so please send snow pants, boots, mitts and a toque. On very cold days we use indoor gym games instead.
