Kindervalley Montessori Academy was founded on a simple but powerful belief — childhood should be protected, respected, and carefully guided.
The school was established in Calgary, Alberta by a Montessori educator and program director with over twenty years of experience in early childhood education. From the beginning, KMA was never intended to be only a daycare. It was created as a true Montessori learning environment were children are seen as capable individuals with natural curiosity and inner motivation to learn.
​
Following the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, our classrooms are prepared for environments. Children learn through hands-on materials, independence, and purposeful work rather than pressure or memorization. Teachers serve as guides, allowing concentration, responsibility, and self-confidence to develop naturally.
Families quickly noticed the difference.
Children were calmer, more focused, and more socially aware. They learned not only reading and mathematics, but also patience, grace, and respect for others.
​
As the community grew, KMA expanded to serve children from toddler through kindergarten.
Enrichment programs in Spanish, music, art, and physical education were introduced to support the whole child — intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Today, Kindervalley Montessori Academy is proud to be an accredited Montessori school and a trusted community for families who value meaningful education rather than fast education.
Our purpose has remained the same since the first day:
​
We are not only preparing children for Grade 1.
We are preparing them for life.
