A Good Start To The Day

Finding a preschool Calgary families can trust is not just about finding a place for their child to spend the day. Parents also want to know what their child will do, who they will spend time with, and whether the routine will work for the family.

Royal Daycare Centre provides a preschool setting where children can play, take part in activities, talk with other children, and try new things. The program is suited to this stage of childhood, when children are becoming more independent and starting to show more of their own interests and personalities.

What Will Your Child Do At Preschool?

Children need variety. One day they may be interested in a particular game or activity, and the next day something completely different may catch their attention.

Our preschool activities give children different ways to take part during the day. They can:

  • Play with age-appropriate toys and learning materials

  • Join group activities

  • Talk and play with other children

  • Practise sharing and taking turns

  • Try activities they may not have done before

  • Work on early learning and problem-solving skills

  • Practise doing simple things independently

There is also time for children to follow their curiosity. They can ask questions, explore an activity, or spend time playing with friends. These moments are simply part of a child's day at preschool.

More Than Just Getting Ready For School

Preschool is often thought of as preparation for what comes next. But there is plenty for children to learn before they get there.

They are learning how to communicate with other people. They are figuring out how to share space and toys. They are becoming more comfortable joining a group. They are also learning to make choices and handle small tasks on their own.

At Royal Daycare Centre, these skills can be practised as part of the normal day. Children have opportunities to develop physically, socially, intellectually, creatively, and emotionally while taking part in activities and play.

  • What does the day usually look like?

  • What kinds of activities do children take part in?

  • What are the hours?

  • How much time is set aside for play?

  • How much time do children have to interact with others?
