Parents can feel reassured that their children are safe, as only authorized personnel can enter the premises via our biometric access control with fingerprint scanning.

"As a parents its essential to choose right daycare providers as they become crucial part of their development/safety. Our daughter loves going to willowbrae Academy- she started from infant room and had a seamless transition from infant to toddler room with equal caring of the teachers. Willowbrae Daycare is a safe, secure, supportive and stimulating environment where children are free to grow to their full potential."

"I am writing to say how pleased we are with the childcare provided by Willowbrae Academy. We drop our children off in the morning and we are comforted in the knowledge that our children are receiving the best care. We use both the preschool and before school programs and both our children love to go there.

The preschool teachers have an excellent rapport with the children and the things that they are learning are amazing. I believe that this program is an excellent precursor to going to school and I recommend that other families put their trust in Willowbrae too. Thank you for your continued care and support for our family.

From a young age Kerri always knew she had a passion for working with young children. In Lethbridge, Alberta, she completed the Early Childhood Education Diploma Program and began her career where she ultimately earned the position of Program Director. She has since spent the last 15 years expanding her knowledge in the field of early childhood while also learning to run the associated programs. Kerri has spent a lot of her career working closely with families, and has thoroughly enjoyed creating close relationships with those families over the years

Kerri is excited about her new role as Director of Willowbrae Royal Oak, and said: “Our work is so important, and I am so excited to take on this new role with Willowbrae Childcare Academy Royal Oak. “

Kerri believes that children learn best in an environment that encourages and promotes play based learning experiences with educators that have a clear understanding on how to appropriately scaffold a child’s learning.

She believes, that getting to work with children and their families is a privilege, and she is so excited to be a part of your family’s early childhood experience!

On a personal note, in 2021 Kerri made the move to Calgary from Cranbrook BC, to start a new adventure with her partner and their two fur babies! In Kerri’s spare time she loves to be outdoors, camping, playing baseball or heading back to B.C. to visit her family in Cranbrook.

While the focus is still largely on their primary care, toddlers begin to take their first steps towards greater independence. We promote their development through play and natural exploration of their surroundings. We begin to lay the basis for positive social interaction and support their positive relationships with peers. We focus on using our words, being gentle with our friends, sharing, and turn taking.

Infancy is a wondrous period of growth and exploration. Our infant programs focus on building meaningful relationships with our families, built on trust, care and attention. By recognizing and acknowledging the needs of each individual child, infants feel secure and safe in their environment and thus creates a strong foundation to support the rapidly developing social, emotional and physical needs of infants while they explore the world around them.

Pre-school rooms are equipped with age and developmentally appropriate learning materials and activities reflect the interests of the group and are often child directed. We encourage and promote positive social interaction and develop the many tools necessary to ensure a positive transition to “big” school and a lifelong love of learning.

Affordable and quality childcare in Royal Oak Calgary. Our child care academy delivers superior educational programs and resources.
