At Six Munchkins Montessori Day Home Licensed in NW Calgary, we believe that the early years of a child’s life are the most critical in shaping their emotional, cognitive, and social development. From the moment a child begins exploring their environment, they’re already learning and it’s our responsibility to guide that learning in a structured, nurturing way.
Brain Development Happens Fast Very Fast
Research shows that more than 80% of a child’s brain develops by age 5. That means what they learn or don’t learn during these early years can have a lasting impact. At Six Munchkins Montessori Day, our carefully planned play-based curriculum ensures that children are constantly engaging with stimulating activities that enhance memory, language, problem-solving, and motor skills.
Social Skills Begin with Safe, Guided Interaction
Children learn best through social interaction. Whether it’s taking turns, expressing emotions, or resolving simple conflicts these are the soft skills that lay the groundwork for future relationships. At our day home, we create a safe environment where children interact with peers under gentle guidance, learning empathy, patience, and teamwork.
Learning Through Play
We don’t believe in rushing children into academics. Instead, we use play as the foundation for learning. Activities like storytelling, puzzles, outdoor exploration, and music time are all structured to support growth while still feeling like fun. Through guided play, children build confidence and curiosity both essential traits for lifelong learning.
Smaller Groups, Bigger Impact
Unlike large daycare centers, Six Munchkins Montessori Day offers small group sizes. This means each child receives more personal attention, tailored guidance, and stronger emotional support. Our educators can truly understand each child’s unique pace and personality.
Partnering with Parents
We believe that parents are a child’s first and most important teachers. That’s why we maintain open, honest communication with families and provide regular updates on their child’s progress. Together, we ensure each child feels secure, confident, and ready for the next stage of their learning journey.
Final Thoughts
Early childhood education isn’t just about preparing for kindergarten, it’s about laying the foundation for a happy, resilient, and capable human being. At Six Munchkins Montessori Day, we’re proud to offer a space where learning, laughter, and love come together every day.
