Amazing school with attentive and truly loving staff for my two children. Ms. Luisa & Ms. Laura have made my son feel so at home in their classroom, and always send such personal mementos home with him.. I really know they care. And my daughter always lists her teachers, Ms. Callie & Ms. Nicole, at the top of her list of friends. I love that the curriculum keeps them engaged in an array of activities that has fostered an excitement towards learning. It's so heartwarming and such a relief to be able to drop my children off and know they're in good hands. Thank you guys for all that you do.

We couldn't be happier with the care our son receives at CEFA - Calgary South! Ms. Luisa, Ms. Laura and all of the other teachers and staff are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. The activities are so fun and educational, and include a lot of outdoor play time, which is important to us. It’s clear that his teachers truly love what they do and we feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place for him!

CEFA south has been an amazing school for our daughter. She is continuing with their Kindergarten part time and we were so happy to see how well prepared she was for her elementary school kindergarten assessment. The teachers we have been with at CEFA have been so amazing! Great program for kids!

My 19 month old daughter has been at CEFA Calgary for 3 months now. They have been unbelievably caring, flexible, thoughtful and welcoming to us. My daughter really struggled to adapt to her previous daycare and had NO ISSUE adjusting at CEFA Calgary. She walks in every morning and doesn't even say bye to me, she is so excited to get started! ALL the staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the teachers are just wonderful. We feel they are really focused on our daughters well-being and development, and ensuring she is content and engaged there. We get thorough updates on what our daughter is doing during the day with pictures, so we can relay the messages to her at home. We also get updated on how much she is eating and when she is sleeping (she also seems to LOVE the food). It is the right balance of knowing what is going on with her, while also knowing the teachers are very focused on her. We just had our parent teacher interview on her and also got some really good ideas on how we can further her development at home. They also do a really good job of getting outdoor time or time in the indoor gym which was important to us. All in all, our experience has been absolutely incredible and we are so grateful to have our daughter going to CEFA Calgary. I highly recommend it if you are looking for quality childcare for your child, in an environment that your child will feel like family.

We couldn't be happier with the positive learning opportunities and genuine care that CEFA Calgary South offers to families. The incredible Admin team support student growth as children progress through their classes. They are always available for parent questions and are part of each child's learning team. The freshly cooked meals and snacks provided each day are balanced and nutritious. My children eat very well at school. On top of all that, you also get the incredible teaching staff! My eldest daughter has attended CEFA Calgary South since January 2022 and is currently in the Kindergarten program. We decided to keep her at CEFA due to the incredible experience that she has had. My daughter has loved all of her wonderful teachers and is currently enjoying engaging hands on, exploratory learning opportunities with Ms. Sam and Ms. Laura. My younger daughter has been with Ms. Luisa and Ms. Laura for over a year now and I couldn't be more thankful! The teachers foster incredible relationships with both their students and parents alike. They take the time to get to know individual needs and genuinely care for children. There are always unique learning opportunities which engage all students in curriculum based play that develops both a love for learning and sparks their creativity.
