Spanish Montessori Learning Centre Day Care — Daycare & Preschool in Lethbridge, Alberta

What parents say

• Tracey Ruschin

  SMLC is the absolute gold star standard for childcare. The genuine love and caring that I witness between the children and staff each day at pick up and drop off is second to none. I have a special needs son who has been attending daycare here since he was 12 months old, he is now 4. The program directors and staff have gone above and beyond to make sure he not only has what he needs each day, but that he also always feels included and like he can do anything that the other children can do. I regularly receive sweet notes in his journal about his day which I love to read, and he is always greeted with hugs and kisses just like he is part of their family. The love and support he receives from the staff has helped him develop in so many ways, including learning Spanish as a second language!! As a parent I cannot express how grateful I am for the opportunity to have my son in this program, it eases my mind to leave him when I know he will get the same nurturing and care as he does when he is with me. Thank you for letting us be a part of your family!!

  It's a very nice place for children that fit into the Montessori method. Teachers are very nice! My ex did not allow me to talk to my kids for 21 days, without court order. Teacher Nubia and Teacher Helenith allowed me to call my daughter twice per week. I am very thankful for such gesture. The only situation I did not like was when I saw my daughter getting transferred to another class where there was a male teacher. Monica was able to clarify her position in regards to her male staff, however I did not feel comfortable with a little girl around a male teacher. Just too old school. My daughter was transferred to another class. So I take no issue. Gracias por todo Profe Nubia, Profe Helenith y Directora Mónica. :)

  I cannot thank Monica enough for all her and her team have done for our daughter and all the children in their care. She is 2.5 years and I have always have personal caregivers looking after her (1/1). This time I had to work for 2 weeks straight and did not have a caregiver so she attended Spanish Montessori Learning Center for that period of time. I can see a big change in her; She’s more alert, more interactive, content and chatty. My daughter is a busy girl, she loves kids, activities, learning and she’s an outdoorsy person. Every time I spoke to her she was telling me all about the “park” that’s what she calls the facility. I am so happy to see how thrilled my daughter was every day when she attended the daycare. I would definitely take her back to this location in a heart beat....too bad it’s so far away from us. The facility offers all kind of activities for kids, they also have a splash park which my daughter loved while she was there. Monica and the team are dedicated and devoted to the kids and to what they do. I have never seen a daycare manager/team so loving and caring for the kids as the Spanish Montessori team. Thank you Monica and all the ladies for caring for our children the way you do while we are not there. Thank you for offering our children a friendly, calm and enjoyable environment and make them feel like they are home.

  Since joining the Spanish Montessori family over 6 months ago we haven’t looked back. All the teachers and staff there are wonderful and friendly, they have always answered any questions I have and I have no doubt my child’s care and comfort are the priority of their day! I feel safe and secure dropping my child off there every day and my son is happy to be welcomed into their open arms. We feel very fortunate to have a spot here. Keep up the great work!

  My kids have been attending this daycare for 2 months now and I have nothing but FANTASTIC things to say. They are all so welcoming and friendly. Every teacher knows each child by name and greets them every morning cheerfully which helps with the transition. They are extremely caring, kind, and genuine. I know my kids are well taken care of and loved. I've noticed growth and development in both my kids already with what they are learning and it makes my Mumma heart happy knowing they are in a space where they are loved, respected, and taken care of!
