Who We Are
Bearspaw Preschool & Junior Kindergarten is a community-based preschool program serving Calgary and area families since 1978. We provide a rich, playful, and welcoming learning environment where children can build confidence, independence, friendships, and a love of school.
What We Believe
We believe every child deserves a nurturing first school experience that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and play. Our program supports the whole child — socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively — through a balanced approach to structured and play-based learning.
Our Community
Families are at the heart of everything we do. As a community-based preschool, we value strong home-school connections, volunteer support, and the special bonds that form when families come together around their children's education.
Our Facilities
Our classrooms are bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for young learners. Children enjoy access to a full-size gymnasium for daily gym time, outdoor play spaces, and a range of learning centres that support exploration and discovery.
Our Approach to Early Learning
Our teaching approach blends structured activities with child-led exploration. Through theme-related, inquiry-based activities, children develop a love of learning, strong social skills, and the confidence they need for kindergarten and beyond.
