About
It Takes a Village

Our philosophy is rooted in inclusion, with a strong commitment to supporting each child based on their individual needs. This inclusive approach benefits every student by fostering empathy and encouraging flexible thinking. It also brings additional resources into our classrooms, allowing us to provide a wide range of learning opportunities for both children and their families. We are fortunate to have a high number of Educational Assistants working alongside our teachers and teaching assistants, resulting in a high adult-to-child ratio.

This is not a first come-first serve process. It Takes a Village reserves the right to hold spots for funded children.

Kindergarten Teacher/Funding Administrator will answer parent questions.

"We live, work, and raise our familes in the seam between the mountains and the prairies of Southern Alberta. We are settlers on Treaty 7 land, and in the spirit of truth and reconciliation, we acknowledge those whose land we move through: The Blackfoot Nations, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai; the Tsuut’ina Nation; the Stoney Nakoda First Nations; and the Métis Nation (Region 3)."
