The Montessori Option

We are officially an Alberta Approved Family Day Home! What does this mean for your family?

✅ Eligible for Affordability Grants AND Subsidy that save you hundreds of dollars every month.

✅ Excellence in professionalism, cleanliness, and safety monitored closely by the Child Development Dayhomes agency.

✅ Qualified back-up childcare options if your provider is not available due to an emergency.

✅ Peace of mind knowing that your child is cared for in a small cohort, home-like setting.

✅ All of the same Montessori curriculum that has made us a highly sought after preschool option in St. Albert for the last five years!

We have TWO available spaces for the upcoming 2022/2023 school year, beginning September 1st. Our program offers full-day preschool and childcare from September through July. We accept children aged 19 months - 5 years.

Marching onward!

We stuck together and made it through 2020! We are so grateful for how fortunate we have been with zero cases of COVID-19 affecting our small school cohorts. With continued precautions and endless cooperation from our wonderful families, we are hopeful to finish this unpredictable school year uninterrupted. ❤️

After saying goodbye to some of our Kindergarten-aged children, we are happy to announce that we will have TWO part-time (Tuesday and Thursday) positions available for the upcoming 2021/2022 school year!

Please contact Angela Keyes at 780-830-3361 for more information on our Montessori program, COVID safety precautions and registration.

Looking forward to our exciting new school year!

We are saying goodbye to one of our sweet friends as she leaves us for an exciting move to a new city. This means that for the first time since opening in St. Albert, we will have ONE full-time position now available at The Montessori Option!

Please feel free to contact Angela for more information and a tour of our school house.

Valentine's Day may be over, but we are definitely still feelin' the love! We are so excited about all of the new students registering to join us in September. ❤️

Tours are running almost every weekend. Please contact Angela at 780 830 3361 if you would like to join one of these informational sessions!

Happy New Year! Wishing you all, young and old, a year filled with the joy of learning.

Our resolution: Update this page more frequently!
We have been so busy learning our ABCs (phonetically) and 123s (sensorially) that we haven't kept you in the loop!

As we prepare several of our little ones to head off to Kindergarten, we are happy to announce that there will be spaces opening for new students to join us in September! Now is a great time to begin considering your child's preschool needs for the upcoming school year.

Welcome back!

We are in full swing with another exciting school year at our beautiful new Braeside location!

There is still ONE part-time space available for a student to join us as we learn and play. Contact Angela today to see how your child can benefit from this exploratory Montessori curriculum.

Throwback Thursday... to Halloween! But do you really need a reason to dress up and do science experiments or play with gooey ghost slime? We don't think so.

Montessori loves practical skill building! Don't be afraid to incorporate real-life activities and materials, food preparation (even with real food!) and cleaning up into your little one's daily routine. They may just surprise you with their abilities and independence! Visit us for more ideas on how to help your child reach their full potential.

There are so many innovative and fun ways to incorporate math into children's play. These little ones are so excited to learn about shapes and numbers!

Learning through art and movement is critical to holistic development. It is so much fun watching these little ones explore their abilities!

Always make time to get your hands dirty and play!

It's hard to believe that within minutes of their first morning at the Montessori Option, this 18-month-old and two 3-year-olds were happily engaged in hands-on learning activities of their choice.

This is a brand new program to St. Albert. Come and see what Montessori can do for your little one! Get in touch with Angela today to schedule your informational tour.
