End Goals for the Preschool Program in Calgary
- To provide a well-balanced curriculum with equal emphasis on play and learning
- To build healthy bodies and minds
- To instill positive behaviours in children
- To prepare children socially and emotionally for life ahead
- To provide ample opportunities to play and learn in stimulating environments
Scheduling
Our preschool and kindergarten programs play an integral role in developing the child’s independence and sense of responsibility.
During these developmental years, children begin to transition from being nappers to becoming non-nappers. Our classrooms accommodate both of these stages by providing separate rooms and individual schedules for each child.
Fueling Brains Academy offers three time options for you to choose from to accommodate the weekly schedule you desire for child care.
- Preschool and Care hours (7:00 am to 5:30 pm at our Calgary schools and 6:45 am to 5:45 pm at our Strathmore location) give you the flexibility for full day care as well as benefiting from the extra programming that support our core curriculum hours. This schedule is available for three or five days a week for your convenience. You are able to choose your days based on the space availability at your desired location.
Nutrition
In our toddler program, we reflect cultural diversity to stimulate a broader palate, and our cooks use local produce whenever possible.
We provide a separate menu for children who are vegetarian, and attention to children with allergies is of high importance.
Tuition
The monthly tuition fee includes the following for every child attending the program:
- Healthy morning breakfast for Preschool and Care students
- Healthy lunch for children in full-day programs (half-day preschool not included)
- Healthy afternoon snack for children in Preschool and Care
- Special guests, extracurricular activities, projects, and specialized instruction
- Activities, classroom supplies, and supervised care
- Personal portable cubby space for storage of personal items
- Personal mattress or cot for napping
As an organization founded in the Treaty 7 Region of Southern Alberta, Canada, Fueling Brains Academy respects and honors the diverse histories, languages, cultures and experiences of First Nations, Métis, Inuit and First Peoples of Canada. We extend this respect and honour to the diversity in our community that includes but is not limited to race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, socio-economic status, class, and religion. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment that brings together diverse perspectives from our students, staff, and families. We acknowledge the history of racism and discrimination in Canada and are committed to ensuring history does not repeat itself within our own communities and classrooms. We ensure that every policy we put in place, every learning plan we develop, and all of our teaching practices for students, staff, and the wider community alike, are equitable, diverse and inclusionary. We place human rights and dignity at the center of our core values, and strive to empower people of every age, background and walk of life.
