The Montessori approach nurtures a child’s natural curiosity, independence, and love of learning through hands-on exploration and purposeful activities. Rooted in respect for the whole child, it encourages confidence, creativity, and a lifelong passion for discovery.
Art is one of our greatest strengths. Every child explores their artistic side through painting, sculpting, and creating with natural materials. We know creativity ignites something special in young minds.
French is a strong element in our curriculum. Young minds are highly absorbent during their developmental stages, so we provide a foundation where children are introduced to French through engaging songs, games, visuals, and music. French is truly one of the favourite subjects for our young students.
Les Petits Artistes began as a shared vision between Patricia and Alysha, two educators passionate about creating calm and creative spaces where children can grow in independence and confidence. It is an inspiring place where positive guidance, safety protocols, and engaging learning are practiced daily. Our first school in Vancouver quickly became a close-knit community built around the special moments, bonds, and trust that have developed over the years, earning us an impeccable reputation. Montessori, art, and French exposure are the pillars of all the inspiring activities we offer. Seeing the impact of that community inspired us to bring Les Petits Artistes to Edmonton.
We are excited to continue that same thoughtful and nurturing approach with families here.
OUR MISSION
Children are encouraged to learn, explore, solve problems, and communicate with kindness, while French language enrichment is naturally incorporated throughout the day. Each day is filled with engaging, inviting, and creative activities. The result is a purpose-built, unique childcare space where your child feels safe, supported, and proud of their accomplishments.
Why Parents Choose Les Petits Artistes
Choosing childcare is an important decision that shapes your child’s early experiences. You seek a nurturing environment that feels calm and safe, where dedicated educators inspire and engage with your child. This is a place where your child will receive support and foster meaningful connections with teachers and peers, enhancing their social development in a warm and secure atmosphere. Here are the qualities that families cherish most about ourcenter.
When you walk into our classrooms, you’ll notice the difference. Each space is thoughtfully prepared to feel peaceful, welcoming, and consistent from day one. Clear daily rhythms and carefully arranged materials create structure without chaos, so your child feels comfortable, knows what to expect, and has room to explore, learn, and grow with confidence.
We encourage your child to explore, discover, and solve problems at their own pace. Using Montessori-inspired materials and lessons in practical life, sensory play, early math, and language, children experience both guided and independent learning. This approach builds confidence, focus, and independence naturally, helping them develop skills and pride in what they can do.
Art, music, and French language experiences are integrated into your child's weekly routine. These meaningful activities foster creativity, enhance communication skills, and promote self-expression, helping your child grow in confidence and curiosity. Daily French circles, songs, and themed vocabulary expose children to various styles and techniques of different art media.
Our educators take time to understand your child deeply. With warmth, patience, and gentle guidance, children feel supported, understood, and encouraged each day. We build strong bonds that create a social experience from the start. Using redirection, focused moments, storytelling, and supervision, we create a nurturing environment for your child.
