Of the Wild Nature Preschool
3 - 5 years
Of the Wild is a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool aimed at exposing children to experiences in nature to help them grow, develop and learn through an inquiry-based approach. Our curriculum organically stems from children’s unique questions and interests. Educators act as observers and researchers alongside children to purposefully plan for future learning opportunities based on students’ questions, interests and needs. Inquiry promotes differentiation in learning and allows children to demonstrate their thinking at a rate that is developmentally appropriate for ages 3 - 5.

Care is available Monday - Friday 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Important Notice:
Starting April 1, 2025, the Government of Alberta is implementing a standardized child care fee of $15 per day for full-time licensed early learning and care programs for children up to kindergarten age. Families with children enrolled in full-time licensed daycare facilities and family day home programs will pay a flat fee of $326.25 per month, equating to approximately $15 per day.
Optional Supplemental Services: Child care providers may offer additional optional services beyond the core program costs, such as transportation, field trips, or meal plans, for an extra fee. Participation in these services is entirely optional, and clear guidelines will ensure equitable access for all families.
Vegetarian morning snacks, lunches and afternoon snacks are included in the rates with meals.
We are proud to offer cloth diapering for all childcare programs at no extra cost for families. To learn more about our centre-wide cloth diapering program, please visit Nature Calls.
We believe all children develop at their own pace; children do not need to be potty trained to join the preschool program.
