Seedlings Preschool & Daycare | Downtown Calgary

Highly recommend Seedlings preschool. We send our (non Spanish speaking) 3 year old son there (going into our 2nd year at Sunalta) and have been so impressed with the activities for the children and warmth of the staff.

Our daughter began attending Seedlings when she was 2.5 years old. The amount of compassion, care and affection that was shown to her as she transitioned into preschool was very much appreciated by our family. She is now 4 and clearly has benefited, not just in her ability to speak and comprehend Spanish but in her understanding of letters, numbers, and English. She has also cultivated an affinity for crafting that clearly has been fostered in this amazing program. She adores her teachers and they clearly invest a great deal of time with her in 1 - 1 time as well as fabulous interaction with other children in a very clean, safe environment. Cannot say enough about this incredible program.

This is an amazing place. My daughter enjoys going to school here, she has multiple activities during the day, never boring or redundant. The school uses the Himama app allowing us to see pictures and stay inform of the day to day. And for those of you that want Spanish as your kid's second language, this is the place for you.

The Seedlings Preschool is wonderful! I have 3 children and have lived in 3 different cities across Alberta - this is by far the best child care center I have experienced. Wonderful staff, beautiful space, great programming with lots of music, art and Spanish Language. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a high-quality childcare program, you should really consider Seedlings. My two kids (age 4 and 2) are attending the bilingual program at the Downtown - Scarboro location, and I couldn't be happier with our choice.Why do I recommend this daycare:1. Outstanding teachers - supportive, enthusiastic and genuinely caring teachers make this daycare a real gem.2. Excellent curriculum - daily Spanish, music, art and science (experiments) classes. They also have a big gym space, which is particularly useful for physical activities during our long winters.3. Small group sizes - lots of one-on-one time helps create a stronger bond between teachers and children, making the children feel safe. It also helps to develop friendships.4. Mixed-age groups - one of the reasons I initially decided on this daycare. I wanted my children to participate in the same program and grow together. They will have continuity of care and go through fewer transitions from caregiver to caregiver. I've noticed older children being very nurturing toward my younger child, and she learns a lot from her older peers. They support each other.My kids truly love their teachers. Thank you, Miss April and Miss Gina, and other teachers at the Scarboro location, for taking such wonderful care of my kids!

Wonderful environment! Academically challenging, caring, and focused on nourishing children’s creativity and desire to learn. Seedlings provided an excellent educational start in a gentle and loving manner.

Our daughter has been with Seedlings for the last two years. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in the Spanish language (or really anyone looking for caring, responsive care for their children).We’ve found the teachers to be kind, nurturing, thoughtful, and very capable. The staff-to-student ratios are ideal for small group learning and ensuring our daughter gets plenty of one-on-one attention. We appreciate the art portfolios and progress reports that the school provides. We also love the HiMama app. It simplifies communication with the school and teacher, and we love the daily photos and videos. Thanks to Miss Yenni, Miss Imi, Miss Sonia, Miss Gina, and all of the other wonderful teachers and staff!Seedlings sounds like a great school and program, but we were ultimately drawn to them after visiting the school in person. The classroom is carefully laid out so everything is accessible and welcoming to young children. It's warm, inviting, and full of the children's projects from throughout the year. It felt like the kind of place we would want to be ourselves, if we were children.Seedlings is Reggio-based, but aspects of Montessori that we were drawn to: a child-led approach, carefully prepared environment, the teacher as a guide, and mixed-age classrooms, were better represented in Seedlings than in any other school we visited.While neither parent speaks Spanish, our daughter comes home singing Spanish songs and surprising us with her comprehension of Spanish children’s books we pick up at the library. It’s clear that the way Spanish-learning is facilitated here is immersive, fun, and memorable for her.The variety of activities and creative work the students do on a daily basis is fantastic. The children get plenty of outdoor time, with a variety of nearby options for outings (and a large, indoor gym space for smoky days). Our kiddo particularly loves yoga and water fun days. The teachers have also done a wonderful job putting together the children's end-of-year and Christmas concerts. We're so grateful to have found Seedlings!

Having 4 children and nannies and various private high end learning preschools. Seedlings by far exceeds expectations. My 4th child is attending the new and delightful centre in Scarboro. The teachers are so caring and kind. The creative play and singing and dancing are inspiring for the little ones. The safety and details are always a consideration. The outdoor play is excellent at this school. I could not be happier with this wonderful environment for my last little one. Excellent location, beautiful and a lovely Montessori school.

Really awesome teachers! Great community!
