Montessori-inspired daycare & out-of-school care in Edmonton - where confidence takes flight!
What sets us apart?
It’s not one thing — it’s everything.
It’s the smell of homemade soup simmering from scratch.
It’s the quiet pride on a child’s face as they master new skills.
It’s the shelves that invite choice, independence, and focus.
It’s the balance of structure and freedom — where Montessori meets FLIGHT, meets confidence, meets joy.
It’s a facility that feels like home — because it was designed to be one.
It’s the belief that children deserve to be known, not managed.
And it’s the heartbeat of a mother and daughter with over 30 years of experience, who still believe childcare is — and always should be — a family business.
Little Hummingbirds is a place where learning takes flight—rooted in the wisdom of Montessori, guided by Alberta’s FLIGHT framework, and inspired by the natural rhythms of childhood.
Our curriculum blends the wonder of nature, the spark of inquiry, and the richness of project-based learning to create experiences as unique as each child.
We believe every child holds a different kind of brilliance—some speak through words, others through movement, music, numbers, art, quiet reflection, or connection to others and the earth. Grounded in the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, our approach honours these diverse ways of knowing and growing.
Here, educators and children are partners in discovery, co-creating moments that nurture resilience, emotional well-being, and confidence. We aim not only to prepare children for school—but to help them know themselves, believe in their voice, and carry forward a strong sense of who they are and all they can become.

“I wanted to thank you for all you do for my little ones.
I am grateful for your updates and stories and for making their days fun. You know it’s a wonderful place when she is the first out of bed and ready to go for daycare. I am grateful you have been with Abby and created such an amazing environment for her to grow, learn, and play.”

Honestly — everything.
The way we cook. The way we listen. The way children grow with confidence and care. From the philosophy to the food to the feeling you get when you walk through our doors.
