In our Pre-School program at First Path Daycare, we transition from simple to purposeful play. Our Calmar classroom acts as a “Third Teacher,” offering open-ended materials that encourage children to research, ask questions, and solve problems. We also strongly focus on social-emotional growth, guiding children through collaborative play and negotiation. By building these essential soft skills, our preschoolers leave not just ready for school, but ready for the world.
Our program is deeply rooted in the Alberta Flight Framework. We view children as “mighty learners” and citizens of our Calmar community.
We introduce letter sounds and recognition through storytelling, journaling, and interactive games—making reading an exciting adventure.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are integrated into daily play, from building complex structures to observing nature in our outdoor space.
We help children develop focus, memory, and self-control through multi-step activities and daily classroom responsibilities.
More than just “crafts,” we encourage children to use various media (paint, clay, light, and shadow) to express their ideas and theories.
Everything you need to know about starting your child’s journey at First Path Daycare.
Yes! We use the Alberta Flight Framework, which is a play-based curriculum focused on the holistic development of the child. We combine this with structured activities in literacy and numeracy to ensure a well-rounded experience.
We use a “Problem-Solving” approach. Instead of just stopping a conflict, we help the children involved talk through their feelings, identify the problem, and brainstorm a solution that works for everyone. This builds lifelong emotional intelligence.
Daily! We believe fresh air and physical movement are essential for brain development. Our preschoolers enjoy our secure outdoor play area every day, weather permitting.
We provide “Pedagogical Documentation.” This means you’ll receive photos and short stories about your child’s learning journeys, explaining not just what they did, but what they learned through that activity.
