Question 6

Is there a minimum number of days my child needs to attend?

Accepted Answer

Children over the age of two must attend a minimum of three days per week at Renaissance Montessori Academy to gain the full benefit of our Montessori Education Program. The schedule should include either a Monday or Friday. This consistency helps children make connections, discover learning outcomes, and master Montessori materials. It also provides familiarity and routine, which are crucial for emotional stability and optimal learning. Attending three days a week allows for the development of social relationships and more in-depth, meaningful learning experiences. In addition, the Affordability Grant requires that child attends at least 100 hours in a month to qualify for full time funding.

Question 7

Does my child need to be toilet trained before starting preschool?

Accepted Answer

Yes, children over the age of three must be toilet trained before starting preschool at Renaissance Montessori Academy. Our preschool classroom is designed to encourage independence, including independent toileting, and does not have nappy-changing facilities. Being toilet trained is essential for a successful transition to the preschool environment.

Question 8

Do you currently have any available spots for a child or is there a waiting list?

Accepted Answer

Yes we have spots for 12 months to 6 years old in full time care. We just opened our center in October 2025 and we don’t currently have a waiting list.

Question 9

What is your daily schedule and the hours of operation for part-time care?

Accepted Answer

Our centre operates Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Although we offer part time care, we encourage families to sign up for full time care so that they can start their child slowly and transition their child to full time when the child is ready.

If you anticipate only needing part time care for the next few months, our part time hours are either (7am to 11am) or (8am to 12pm) - four hours per day.  Our center provides a really rich curriculum and teaching and we have  qualified Alberta teachers with ECE level 3 and montessori training.
