About Us

A Learning Environment Designed for Children

Since 2006, we have welcomed children to a unique preschool experience filled with joy, love and learning. At Seedlings, we strive to provide high quality childcare programs in both English and Spanish. We are a local family-owned business and are proud to serve the Calgary community. We believe that the impact of the environment during the first years of a child’s life lasts a lifetime, and that all children have an enormous potential which can only be developed in a loving, fun and rich environment. At Seedlings, we are committed to providing such an environment for every child in our classrooms through our caring teachers, low student teacher ratio, and personalized program that involves one on one time with each child. This allows children to develop their creativity and love of learning.

Our Teachers Put Your Child First

At Seedlings, teachers play the role of both instructor and facilitator. They must be well versed in a wide array of topics. All our teachers hold a Bachelor’s degree and a certificate as either an early childhood educator or early childhood education assistant, and our Spanish teachers are native speakers, ensuring optimal pronunciation and cultural background for Spanish language-learning. Several of our teachers are experts in the Reggio philosophy, and our curriculum draws inspiration from it. At Seedlings, children learn through an emergent, dynamic and interactive curriculum that includes music, art, story time, drama, science, free play and movement activities.

Immersive Spanish Language Experience

Our Spanish Learning programs were initially developed to prepare students entering Spanish immersion bilingual school programs, and to meet the need of families wanting their children to begin learning Spanish at a young age. The program originally opened at Strathcona, and due to high demand all over the city, was expanded to our four current locations.

Testimonials

Seedlings school and the staff at Seedlings are wonderful, nurturing, caring and kind. My son attended Seedlings for 2.5 years. The last year was supplemental kindergarten. The teachers spent 1:1 time with him to improve his Spanish. It was time well spent. I would fully recommend the Seedlings school for young children and kindergarten aged children.

My two kids attended Seedlings Preschool since they were 2.5. The overall experience has been FANTASTIC. They provide a Fun and Nurturing environment for kids between 2.5 - 5 years old. The one on one attention they provide is unique, making sure every kid is engaged and having fun. I would encourage any parent to choose Seedlings as a Preschool for their kids.

Valentina B

Seedlings is a wonderfully apt name for this preschool program in that the environment and the relationship between teacher and child nurtures and supports growth of the young person. The environment is friendly and inviting and the neutral palate and light filled interior gives a sense of calm. Interesting and stimulating materials encourage exploration and discovery. The teachers are genuine and caring in their relationships with each student. They model an attitude of kindness, respect and friendliness.

Both my girls attended the Seedlings Spanish Preschool. I was struggling with what to do for preschool in Cougar Ridge, when a neighbour told us about the Seedlings Spanish Preschool. Making the call to Judith to come check out the preschool was one of the best decisions we ever made. We do not speak Spanish at home, so I was nervous dropping them off the first day, but upon meeting Judith and the other teachers, and seeing the wonderful learning space for the kids at the preschool, it was an easy decision.

What an incredible gift to help them learn another language. Aivry and Marlie both joined when they were 2 & 1/2, and I could not ask for a more loving, supportive and caring learning environment. They get immersed in it immediately and they have absolutely flourished with the Spanish language. I never cease to be impressed when I drop them off at school and listen to them converse back and forth with the teachers in Spanish! It's so amazing! Parents drive from across the city to take their kids to this preschool, so I feel very fortunate to have it so close to home. Judith has built a very strong school with some incredibly talented and caring teachers and assistants. This is the last year for my youngest at the preschool, and I have to say, I'm really going to miss the teachers and the school. Thank you Judith for creating such a wonderful experience for my girls. We're so blessed.

Both of my children have attended Seedlings Spanish preschool. It is a nurturing class setting that I feel has helped my children not only learn the Spanish language, but it has taught them social skills that have prepared them for kindergarten. The teachers are very caring and I have nothing but positive comments about the program and I highly recommend it.

Lynda Fung

Seedlings Strathcona is absolutely amazing. We love it. It is a wonderful learning environment for Spanish and all things Kindergarten/Preschool.We love the learning style and the warmth and caring of the teachers.Our son loves it and looks forward to each and every day at Seedlings. The program is very flexible as well. There are various drop off times and many schedule options.We could not imagine him going anywhere else and know he will miss this lovely school very much when he has to graduate and go to Grade 1 next year. I will miss it too. We love it and would recommend it to anyone!

Magdalena

I am a grandmother of two boys living in the PBP community. I have lived in Oakridge for 42 years. Our 4year old grandson has attended the SEEDLINGS preschool at Nellie for the past two years. I find the preschool teachers OUTSTANDING in their care for the children and the wealth and variety of Spanish/English learning opportunities. I have had experiences with other preschools with my children and grandchildren. Although very good- this experience at SEEDLINGS truly stands apart. I would highly recommend it.

Trudie Clark

Our son loves to go play with his friends! Staff and teachers foster a loving, caring, creative environment in which learning is natural. We love that our son is happy in the morning when we leave him and equally as happy when we greet him. It makes our day knowing he is happy and in caring hands. We really appreciate the community approach the daycare uses.
