Introduce Your Toddler To A Natural World Of Wonder
Outdoor Messy Play For Fantastic
Naturalistic Learning Experiences

toddlers | 12 - 36 months | Serving Grimshaw, AB

Small Class Sizes Means More Attention

Give your toddler the benefit of low ratios to ensure they receive the individual attention they need to feel supported, nurtured, and loved. Children this age require extra care during such a crucial stage of their development, so they must receive it consistently.

Wow! Up To 4 Hours Outside Every Day

Children have 4 hours of outdoor play, meaning they spend half of their day outside – rain or shine! Your little explorer has messy play and enjoys a mud pit, sandpit, running, and jumping with friends, igniting their senses!

Messy Play Ignites Early-Stage Learning

Your toddler engages in play that heightens their senses and helps them understand what’s happening around them. They touch, taste, listen, watch, and smell to their heart’s content as they experiment safely with their environment under caregivers’ supervision.

Expert, Educated Teachers Who Care

Your child’s learning is important, and experienced, educated, and caring teachers make sure your child has the guidance and support necessary to succeed. Teachers help your child to soar.

A Play-Based Curriculum That Jumpstarts Learning

Creative Curriculum®, Kindness Curriculum, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) give your little learner everything they need to advance academically. They learn across subject areas with the support of teachers.

Delicious, Home-Cooked Meals Provided Daily

Nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snacks keep your child fed while they play and learn. Meals are cooked from scratch and full of fresh fruits and vegetables. Your child stays fueled throughout their day.

A Schedule Your Little One Knows From Home

Things like naps, mealtimes, and playtime are coordinated with you in mind so that your toddler sticks to the routine they’ve become used to at home. Staying on schedule guarantees that they’re as comfortable as possible while in our care.

Keep Them Engaged With Music, Dance, And Art

Your growing toddler not only learns the basics but enjoys daily enrichment activities that keep them energized and full of life. Music, Dance, and Art spark their creativity and promote their sense of expression.

Stay Informed With Your Parent App

Being kept in the loop about your child’s day gives you peace of mind when you’ve spent the day apart. The HiMama app allows you to check in about everything, from meals to naps, activities, development and even learning.

Enjoy Flexible Scheduling With Hourly And Daily Drop-In Rates.

Enlightened Beginnings has been a perfect fit for our family for over 3 years now! The kids get so much time outside, and are always engaged in active learning without even realizing it. They are pumped to go to daycare and come home excited to share what they did. The staff are all so kind, and the flexibility really works for our ever-changing schedule. I can't imagine life without this awesome facility!

The Staff at Enlightened Beginnings are amazing! They made the transition to daycare so easy for my son and I when I went back to work. He loves being there, is constantly coming home with new skills and words he’s learned! They truly care about the kids and I feel so confident leaving my little guy in their care! Would 10/10 recommend them!

They provide the best care, and give...

We have been with Enlightened Beginnings since day 1. The staff is wonderful, we absolutely love them all. Our youngest started as a 1 year old and has moved up through all of the classes, she has learned so much from each of her teachers. She is always so excited to go to school, and on her days at home she asks if she can go there instead! They provide the best care, and give her the attention she needs. Everyone there offers kindness and respect to the kiddos. They are also very quick to address any issues that might arise, and are always accommodating.

They teachers are great and wonderful with the kids, they spend lots of times outside and doing free play which I love and they do all sorts of crafts and stories and I can’t say enough of how amazing it is.
