Chestermere Community Playschool - Chestermere, Alberta

My daughter has attending the playschool for 2 years and it was the best choice! The two teachers are so friendly, welcoming, fun and accommodating. The space is perfect with regular themes, activities and special guests. We love the daily gym time and the once monthly skate day!

Will be sad to say goodbye at the end of this year as we move on to kindergarten. I would recommend this playschool 10/10 to anyone considering. Call and set up a tour!

We have had such an amazing experience with the playschool. How many preschools give kids a chance to run and play in an entire full size gymnasium every day, or offer monthly skating time? The teachers do such a great job of keeping the kids engaged and creating space for them to feel comfortable so they can grow and learn. The teachers have been absolutely stellar in working with us to find solutions when our little is dealing with big feelings, both offering ideas and asking us for input. Keeping everything play-centred means not only do the kids learn, but they are excited about school. We are so glad we chose to be part of the playschool community.

My daughter attended Chestermere Community Playschool this year and has had an overwhelmingly positive experience. The teachers are friendly, knowledgeable, well organized, and creative. They work to create unique theme-based centres for each month that keep the children engaged and excited about learning. The classroom is welcoming and setup for both large and small group learning experiences to take place. Chestermere Community Playschool also offers the students the opportunity to play in a full sized gym, as well as monthly skate days and special guest speakers. All of these features, in addition to students being responsible for their lunch kits, backpacks and indoor shoes, mirror a kindergarten experience in a way many playschool programs do not. I know my child has learned a great deal and will be better prepared to start kindergarten because of the experience she has had this year.

This has been my daughter's first year in any sort of program. At 3 years old I was a little bit nervous, but was really looking forward to her socializing with other children her age (considering we would be home with a newborn). The teachers have been absolutely amazing, and she talks about them all the time, anybody who has kids knows that is a good sign. I love getting to ask her about her day and hearing about all the stations and activities they do with the kids. I would highly recommend this program to anybody who asks! We are already registered for next year!

We love everything about this Playschool! Amazing teachers with excellent skills, (one has been with the Playschool for many, many years and has a ton of education, and the other has also been trained in speech, behavior, fine motor, etc and is also such an advocate for our preschoolers). The facilities are amazing; each day the kids have access to a huge gym or they can enjoy the large park outside (weather permitting), and each month in the winter our kids get to skate on the rink. The Teachers’ play-based learning approach makes it fun for the kids to learn while becoming kindergarten ready. (My older son had no problem taking on Kindergarten after this program).

This Playschool is truly part of the community as they have recently celebrated 35 years in Chestermere. It is the most affordable program in town and both my boys and I have met some life-long friends in the process. Highly Recommend!

Amazing teachers!
The preschool offers skating days once a month which is a nice bonus.
Access to the gym is also nice so the kids have lots of space to play even in the winter when they can’t go outside!
Affordable rates.
The Volunteer hours give the ability to get into the classroom and see exactly how your child’s day flows and be apart of some fun events they do.

Fabulous teachers & great program! My kids just loved the 4 year old class & really helped them prepare for entering Kindergarten. They loved all of the crafts, daily time in the gym, skating & most of all the teachers!!!

We couldn't be happier with this playschool. Our kid loves his teachers - they're sparky and warm, and always make him feel welcome and important.

It's also the most affordable option in Chestermere for what it offers, and because it's based in the rec center, it uses many of the facilities, so kiddos have loads of space for play in, even in the winter.

When the weather is good they use the fields for outdoor time and games, and each class gets regular ice time on one of the rinks.

What's really made us happy though, is the early childhood intervention program they partner with. The folks have been super easy to communicate with, and genuinely invested in providing guidance and support. This has made such a positive difference to our family.

Basically I'm a fan and I recommend it to all the new moms I meet.
