What makes us unique


At A Child First Preschool, we believe every child deserves a fun, caring, and inclusive environment. Since 1993, we’ve been providing educational preschool programs for children ages 3-5, with a focus on early literacy and numeracy. Our curriculum is aligned with Alberta Education Kindergarten standards, ensuring that your child is well-prepared for their next step in education.

We encourage a love of learning through play, offering age-appropriate activities such as music, physical fitness, and art. These activities are designed to nurture creativity, curiosity, and a strong foundation for future learning.

In addition to our preschool programs, we offer Out of School Care at local Calgary Catholic Schools. Our programs provide a safe, fun, and inclusive environment where children of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds are respected and cared for. We offer both structured and unstructured activities that foster a joyful atmosphere for learning and play.

Why Choose Us


We care for your children like they are our own! We want your children to succeed in elementary school and do everything possible to help them prepare for entering Kindergarten. Some of the programs we use for your child are Handwriting Without Tears, YogaKids, Imaginzium, and KidZone. We offer annual developmental screenings to our families, conducted by Kids Developmental Services, so that additional help can be provided FREE of charge to help prepare your child for school.

Our Philosopy


We believe that a child's natural love of learning is best supported through play and life experience, giving your child the chance to develop and grow socially and academically. Play can be a fun and exciting venue for learning when paired with hands-on educational opportunities, music, physical fitness, STEAM and art. Our activities, both structured and un-structured, will help develop the social skills, emotional development, self-regulation, and peer skill development needed for kindergarten. They will learn, play, grow, and have fun!
