Magic Mountain Preschool and Pre-Kinder Program

In our Preschool and Pre-Kinder Program, we foster the development of our children through a Montessori Inspired Math and Literacy curriculum, coupled with Reggio Inspired Art, Music and Creativity.

As a group, children explore monthly themes and later build on theme knowledge as well as academic and artistic skills during Centre Learning Time.

-
Literacy and Language – Phonological awareness, phonics, and vocabulary;
-
Mathematics – Foundational math skills and reasoning skills;
-
Practical Life Skills- developing practical skills used daily;
-
Science – Exploring the natural world;
-

Our learning in this program is tailored to the individual child, to ensure that with encouragement and guidance, each child can progress at their own pace. In the afternoon, children have a scheduled music time during which they learn a variety of songs, finger plays and other Musical skills such as Rhythm, Tempo, Dynamics and Pitch.

"My child started at the Airdrie Crossing location when it opened in September and I have noticed a huge change in her. She loves going to 'school'. The staff are friendly and have made an effort to get to know her. She's made great friends and is getting well prepared for her future education."

"I’ve had my daughter in three different childcare facilities and Magic Mountain by far has been the very very best. Not only do the teachers show genuine concern for the children, but the facility itself is head and shoulders above other facilities at a comparable or higher price.
One of our best choices for a child care has been to move her to Magic Mountain. I’m very, very, very pleased with all of the staff and the director as she has received such phenomenal care and comes home so much happier."

"LOVE LOVE LOVE Magic Mountain! Our littles have special needs and MM has gone above and beyond to ensure they are not only well cared for, but also given the encouragement, consistency and genuine love and affection all children deserve. They are truly a home away from home for us and our littles."
