Tot Spot Academy is an award-winning Montessori inspired child care program in St. Albert. We are a locally owned and operated daycare, preschool and out of school care with strong roots in holistic childhood development.

 

We strive to exceed Alberta licensing and health standards to create a safe, nurturing environment. This means there are no major transitions or adjustments that may come with having changing directors. We’re dedicated to ensuring your family has a positive care experience.

Programming and Curriculum

At Tot Spot Academy, we believe that all children are capable learners when given the opportunity to practice and explore in an enriched environment with loving and supportive teachers.

Our programming is done on site, by our certified and highly trained teachers. Programming looks different from year to year as staff develop lessons and activities based on the abilities, prior knowledge, and interests of the children within their class. As children begin care or move from class to class, parents are asked to complete ASQ (ages and stages questionnaires). These forms help support our teachers in ensuring that the skills the child has at daycare are the same as those parents see at home.

Out of School Care

Every Day Is

A Playday

Teachers at Tot Spot Academy believe that many skills can only be taught in the great outdoors. We have three approved outdoor playspaces and a large field that we enjoy spending time in. Not far away are tree lined walking trails, a pond, and natural open spaces to explore.

Fees

On April 1st, 2025 the Alberta government introduced the next phase of their affordability funding approach as mandated by the Canada-Alberta Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement (CACWELCC).

CACWELCC is a universal system mandated by the Federal Government to provide all families, regardless of income and region, the same access to childcare at $15 a day and that Childcare Centers charge a flat and predictable rate for basic care.
