Hopscotch Early Learning & Child Care - St. Albert, Alberta

We could not say enough wonderful things about this facility. The staff, teachers, and owners have gone beyond our expectations. They have wonderful educational programs that our daughter is learning so much from. They are extremely organized from their food menu, scheduling, and they even do a monthly news letter. They truely put so much effort into being professional, their business website is very well put together, and they have such a user friendly app that they provide updates and photos regularly. The facility is very clean and they do some really neat themed days. They even bring in outside presentations multiple times a year. Overall we absolutely love this place!

I don’t know why I haven’t written a review sooner but this hands down is the best place to send your kids. I had my oldest in Kepler at 18 months and he struggled with the high staff turn over so we moved him to hopscotch at 21 months. He’s now 4.5 and still loving it here. I have 3 kids now at hopscotch- 15 months, 3, and 4.5 years. I can say each room with their educators is amazing. Most of the teachers here have been here for years and you can tell they love their jobs and the kiddos. Yoga, African drums, baby chicks, raising butterflies, reptile visits, playground and splash park visits and walk around the ponds are just some of what you can expect. Dallas, Ashley, and Karen are wonderful daycare directors. Any concerns we’ve had have been discussed and dealt with. Finding a daycare that checks all the boxes is hard but we lucked out when we found this gem years ago.

I've had two kids attend Hopscotch and both have had a fantastic experience. The caregivers treat the children like their own. Hopscotch has a full commercial kitchen onsite and they serve food I wish I could eat for lunch. One of the best daycares available in St. Albert and the Edmonton region.

When I was searching for a daycare for my little one, Hopscotch was just opening its doors. I walked in and fell in love with how clean, bright and inviting this place really is. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and management. They have treated my little one with the utmost respect and I know, I have made the best decision for my child. They have an app that let's you know how your child is doing throughout the day and what they have been doing (they also include lots of pictures). The amount of information the staff are teaching my little one right now blows my mind. It's also nice that we can discuss at the dinner table, what they have learnt that day just by looking at the app.
Speaking of food, my child eats better then I do at daycare. All the food is made from scratch and by a wonderful and amazing in-house cook and her sidekicks.
Now, three and a bit years later, I cannot wait for my second child to attend Hopscotch. Thanks for giving my child a head start in life.

As a Pediatrician and mom of children at Hopscotch, I can’t begin to tell you how extraordinary this centre is. Owners Linzi and Tyler and directors Dallas and Tamara (Tam) have created the warmest, most welcoming home away from home. We were sold on Hopscotch the day Tam showed us around and described how meaningful her experience caring for children has been, maintaining a close bond with kids even years after caring for them. Her bubbly enthusiasm was infectious, and it was obvious how passionate this team was about Early Childhood Education. Not only are all kids (and their parents!) known by their first names, no matter what classroom they are in, they feel included and loved. Regular communication from Dallas and Tyler is outstanding. The teachers (who never leave!!) are friendly, experienced and have become an integral part of our kids’ development. The curriculum (yes! In a daycare!) is fun, challenging and out-of-this-world creative (picture holding a real-life turtle on reptile day, chatting with a firefighter for public service week and digging for “fossils” during dinosaur days!). I’m actually relieved my youngest is slightly too young for kindergarten this September; as it means another year in this amazing daycare.
