Kindervalley Montessori Academy is a new private school established in 2012 in Altadore. (SW Calgary) We are proud to offer an authentic Montessori education from 19 months to 5 years. We believe in the principle of "Help me do it myself" , and we prioritize education that sets children up for independence not just in school, but for life. This process starts in early childhood.

The 1.5 - 5 year age range is a unique period in a child's development. During this time, they possess what is referred to as an "Absorbent Mind", which allows them to assimilate an unprecedented level of information from their environment. Just like a sponge, children in this age range soak up whatever they are exposed to in their surroundings to eventually establish memory and the ability to reason. We aim to foster this powerful stage of growth and brain development by enabling every child to initiate learning in a supportive, prepared environment. 

Our trained directresses guide our children or our "little scientists" in helping them discover and develop their unique capabilities. Through the Prepared Environment, our students are encouraged to  experiment, trying new things whilst having the freedom to truly be themselves. 

Kindervalley Montessori Academy is unique in its hands-on interactive approach to authentic Montessori materials  and in its low student-to-teacher ratio. These elements allow for a family-like learning environment, which enables teacher to help all children learn at their own pace and to their full potential.
