About FBA West 85th

Large Outdoor Playground

Large Outdoor Playground

To increase children’s imagination and sense of wonder, at West 85 we provide a large outdoor play area that will cater to their positive interaction with nature. In this play space, you will find natural materials that will offer children a different sensory experience. Not only will this expand on a child’s relationship with nature but the large space will allow them to build independence as they begin to experiment with safe playing distances away from caretakers.

Spacious Movement Area

Fueling Brains Academy models healthy living and that includes getting daily physical activity. For rainy or cold days, children will be spending some time in the Movement room to stay active. In this room, the class will be guided by a Movement teacher to run our Movement Program. The movement teacher will engage the children in purposeful play to help build on a child’s physical ability, such as gross motor skills, kicking, aiming, balancing, throwing etc.

Distinct Curriculum Rooms

At West 85, there are two distinct classrooms. Our Right Brain room is a Reggio philosophy inspired room which allows children to build and expand on their creativity and imagination. In this room, you will find lots of natural and beautiful materials for children to play with. Our Left Brain room is a Montessori philosophy inspired room. In this room, children will learn grace and courtesy and practical life skills.

Mr. Sukh Singh

Director - Senior Preschool

Sukh Singh has always had a passion for working closely with younger kids. Originally from Punjab, India, Sukh used to teach his younger siblings and cousins. From there, his passion for early education grew and he chose to become an Early Chilhdood Educator. Upon his move to Canada, Sukh graduated from Canadore College, Ontario with a diploma in Early Childhood Education and obtained an Alberta Child care staff Level-3 certification. With over five years of experience in the field, Sukh has worked in various roles, including Lead Teacher, Program Coordinator, and Center Director. With Fueling Brains Academy, various campuses have been lucky to have Sukh as a part of their team, such as McKnight, Bridgeland and West 85th. Sukh believes that every child deserves access to a safe and nurturing learning environment, and as the centre’s Senior Preschool Program Director, he is committed to working with the team at FBA West 85th to create such an environment for our youngest learners.

Ms. Saya Sanyal

Director - Infant/Junior Preschool

Saya Sanyal has been in the field of Early Childhood Education for the last 25 years, 15 of which have been in Calgary.  Having an incredibly strong image of the child, and witnessing the immense growth and development that take place in young children, helped Saya make the decision to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education.  Saya holds a diploma in both the Montessori Method, and Reggio philosophy of providing engaging play experiences that are child-led, while being age and developmentally appropriate, opening the door to discovery and exploration. Saya has found the perfect combination of both types of learning at Fueling Brains Academy and joined West 85 as the Lead Teacher in the Senior Left Brain classroom.  Within six months of joining, Saya also took on the role of Campus Curriculum Coach, imparting knowledge and guidance to our teachers.  Saya holds an Early Learning and Child Care Level 3 Diploma certification, and her knowledge of curriculum and classroom practices, along with her passion and commitment to serve the students, families, and educators help her lead the campus as Director of the Infant and Junior Preschool programs.
