Wilder-Garten
5 - 6 years
Wilder-Garten is a Reggio-Emilia inspired Kindergarten Enrichment program for children age 5-6 (please note: children must be at least 5 years old as of December 31 of the year they have started Kindergarten). Our Wilder-Garten program is aimed at exposing children to experiences in nature to help them grow, develop and learn through an inquiry-based approach. Our curriculum is guided by Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework and organically stems from children’s unique questions and interests. We focus on a holistic approach to teaching and learning that is developmentally appropriate and helps to prepare children for Grade 1.

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.
