Welcome to Tot Spot Academy: Where Every Child Flourishes
Discover excellence in childcare at Tot Spot Academy, an award-winning Montessori-inspired program nestled in the heart of St. Albert. As a locally owned and operated daycare, preschool, and out-of-school care center, we are dedicated to holistic childhood development, providing a nurturing environment for your child to thrive.
Our Story: A Journey of Passion and Commitment
Alicia and Randall, the visionary founders, embarked on their childcare journey while expecting their first child. Fueled by their passion for quality childcare, they envisioned Tot Spot Academy as a haven where every child receives:
- Trustworthy caregivers offering love and attention.
- A balanced approach to developmental, educational, and playful experiences.
- A clean, bright facility promoting fitness, nutrition, and environmental awareness.
In 2013, Tot Spot Academy began as a dayhome in Alicia and Randall's home, evolving into a flourishing business with a strong reputation. However, limited capacity prompted a significant transformation, leading to the birth of Tot Spot Academy as we know it today.
Our Commitment: Unparalleled Quality, One Location
As a locally owned and directed establishment, we prioritize a consistent and unwavering focus on one location, ensuring the highest quality of care. Not a franchise or chain, Tot Spot Academy stands apart, exceeding Alberta licensing and health standards for a safe and nurturing environment. With one dedicated director, your family experiences continuity and a positive care journey.
Nourishing Bodies and Minds: Our Culinary Experience
Experience the difference with our full-time onsite chef preparing three nutritious meals a day. Our monthly meal plans emphasize healthy, whole foods of various colors, while still celebrating special occasions like birthdays with delightful mini cupcakes.
Empowering Inquisitive Minds: Tailored Learning
Our qualified teachers craft adaptive program planning designed to meet each child's individual needs. Recognizing that children learn at their unique pace, we support skill development, enrich learning experiences, and foster a love of learning and inquiry.
Building a Community of Families: Together, We Thrive
Tot Spot Academy is more than a childcare center; it's a community of learners. Emphasizing social-emotional development, inclusivity, and welcoming families of diverse beliefs, ideologies, and abilities, we encourage connections and create lasting bonds. With minimal child turnover, Tot Spot children grow up together, fostering a sense of belonging.
