At Roots Montessori Centre, our mission is to nurture life-long and independent learners by providing a positive, creative, and respectful environment. We are dedicated to fostering the natural development of each child through a Montessori-prepared climate, encouraging self-confidence, exploration, and the correction of mistakes independently.
Our goal is to inspire curiosity, empathy, and a love for learning in every child, preparing them to be confident, capable, and contributing members of society.
Our Infant Program (12-18 months) is designed to empower infants by helping them express their needs, emotions, and desires. Through activities that engage multiple senses, we enhance memory retention and accelerate verbal communication development.
The Toddler Program fosters independence and language development through hands-on activities in a nurturing environment. The curriculum emphasizes practical life exercises, sensorial activities, and language growth to build self-confidence and a love for learning.
The Casa Program (Preschool Program) encourages social and individual growth in a mixed-age classroom, where children learn together using carefully prepared materials that develop fine motor skills and foundational academic concepts.
The Kindergarten Program fosters independent learning and critical thinking in a nurturing environment. Through hands-on activities and guided discovery, students build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. This program also emphasizes creativity and collaboration.
The provincial government recently announced a new agreement with the federal government to increase subsidy amounts for eligible Alberta families. If you haven’t qualified before, you may qualify under the new daycare subsidy guidelines.
Here’s What Our Parents Are Saying
Roots Montessori was such a good choice for my 3-year-old daughter. Mrs. Faiza is a wonderfully compassionate and knowledgable teacher in the world of Montessori and really cares about each child she teaches. Much careful consideration is taken into planning the structure of the day to keep the children engaged whilst promoting their confidence in their learning. Communication with parents is wonderful and always felt comfortable in what my child was learning and knowing she was in the best hands. I highly recommend Roots Montessori
RMC is a great place to be. Mrs Faiza and all the teachers are super friendly. No discrimination, all kids are treated equally. I love that they encourage the kids to eat healthy meals, and less of sweet snacks. RMC also teaches our little ones Spanish. My son in less than 2 months can say all the colors in Spanish. Thank you RMC team! You're doing an amazing job 👏 🙌
Roots Montessori Centre is one of the most profound and excellent centers in Northwest Calgary. It provides an enabling environment for our son and daughter which is critical in their early childhood development. They are excited when they are at school and during the weekend, they look forward to Monday to go to school. The teacher (Ms. Faiza Khalid) knowledge and quality of teaching, together with a supportive learning environment make Roots Montessori Centre an amazing learning experience. We are happy that our children are benefiting from this amazing learning center. The Montessori method is a great foundation and inspires a real passion in the students. I highly recommend Roots Montessori Centre as a great starting point for your child's educational journey.
Our son started at Roots Montessori early this year after moving from another daycare. We can see that he is more confident now and he has more curiosity of his surroundings. He is excited to go to school and he loves his friends. Ms Faiza's classrooms are clean and organized, and she disciplined the students in a calm and loving way. She is very attentive to her students and able to develop students based on their interests. We are happy we made the decision!
