iExplorers Montessori was built on a simple but powerful belief — that every child
is a natural explorer, and that when given the right environment, the right
relationships, and the freedom to follow their curiosity, they grow into confident,
capable, and compassionate learners.
Our name reflects that belief, iExplorers. Learning is a lifelong journey of
discovery, and it begins here — in the early years, when children's minds are
most open and most alive
Today, we operate two thriving locations in Northwest Calgary. Our Beacon Hill
location — iExplorers Montessori Early Education Academy — offers authentic
Montessori half-day sessions in a calm, child-centred environment. Our Varsity
location — iExplorers Montessori & Creative Curriculum Academy — provides a
full-day blended Program combining the Montessori method with the Creative
Curriculum®, Both following CBE calendar.
Two locations. Two Program models. One shared commitment to excellence in
early childhood education.
iExplorers Montessori supports the natural development of children as first-hand explorers, empowering them to transform our society, leading to a more pleasant and peaceful world.

iExplorers Montessori will preserve the legacy of Maria Montessori's principles and practice by advocating for the rights of children and adults to access safe, nurturing, and enriching educational environments. iExplorers ensures each child strives and develops intellectually, emotionally, and socially as a global citizen.
iExplorers Montessori & Creative Curriculum Academy will preserve the legacy of Maria Montessori's principles and practice by advocating for the rights of children and adults to access safe, nurturing, and enriching educational environments. iExplorers ensures each child strives and develops intellectually, emotionally, and socially as a global citizen. In addition to Montessori principles and practices, we utilise a research-based approach through The Creative Curriculum® — a challenging, engaging, and age-appropriate framework that creates a responsive, collaborative environment promoting positive outcomes for children.
We recognise that parents are our partners. Your relationship with your child is primary — and our work exists to support you in caring for and nurturing them.
We value every family, every culture, and every background. Our community is richer for its diversity.
Our Early Childhood Educators are dedicated to supporting every dimension of each child's growth — social, emotional, physical, and cognitive.
Our educators are committed to continuous learning and best practice. They bring skill, knowledge, and genuine passion to everything they do
We empower children to reach their full potential in an environment carefully prepared to serve each child's individual needs, interests, and learning style.
We work alongside ECE colleagues, families, and community partners — because the best outcomes for children happen when everyone works together.
Prepared Environment, Academic Excellence & Emotional Development
Through carefully prepared environments, mixed-age classrooms, and our
Montessori and Creative Curriculum® approaches, we help children build the
intellectual and emotional skills to make meaningful contributions to their
community.
A Connected & Compassionate Community
Children experience well being, dignity and interconnections at iExplorers. They are the center of a community that is connected, compassionate and collaborative in the support and development of one another’s interest and development.
Freedom, Responsibility & Peace Education
A more peaceful world tomorrow rests upon the efforts we put forth today. At iExplorers Montessori, we support children’s natural tendency toward kindness, friendship and justice. We offer the children opportunities to resolve conflicts peacefully with their peers. Through these opportunities, they observe the positive outcomes of the collaborative work of children and adults in their community.
At iExplorers, we believe that exploration is at the heart of all meaningful learning. Children do not need to be taught to be curious — they arrive that way. Our role is to honour that curiosity and give it room to grow.
Built around five core learning areas — Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics,
Language, and Cultural Studies. Every material is purposeful. Every activity
invites the child to work independently and build skills at their own natural pace.
"To assist a child, we must provide him with an environment which will enable him
to develop freely." — Maria Montessori
Brings learning to life through defined interest areas — Blocks, Dramatic Play, Art,
Science, Reading, Writing, and more. Children explore, collaborate, and discover
through purposeful, joyful play in a warm and responsive setting.
"Play is the work of the child." — Maria Montessori
Both approaches align naturally with FLIGHT — Alberta's Early Learning and Child Care Curriculum Framework — which places children's play at the centre of early learning as "an active, exploratory, creative, expressive process." Learn more at flightframework.ca
Our educators are Montessori-trained professionals who combine compassion with expertise.
They observe, guide, and inspire each child’s learning journey while maintaining small group sizes for meaningful engagement.
