What happy families are saying…….

Marissa T.

“I felt comfortable, confident and excited to send my daughter to Bright Minds Early Learning Childcare. She squeals with excitement every time we pull up to the house and often doesn't want to leave.  I love the programming and communication.  I love how they accept my daughter for who she is, they work with her, and positively encourage her out of her comfort zone without pressuring her.  I love hearing and seeing how the staff interact with all the children and parents.”


Melody R.

“My children have been attending Bright Minds ever since they opened their doors and we could not be happier with the daycare. Not only do my children learn so much, eat nutritious food and play awesome games, they are truly loved by their teachers which means more than anything. The Bright Minds staff are a part of our family and we could not recommend them enough.”

  • Yes we do! We are currently accepting children from kindergarten to grade 6. We pick up from Riverside School. Delta West and Stanely Jones School.

  • For our infant and toddler group (under 3 years old) the ratio is 1 to 4 and for our junior kindergarten program (over 3 years old), the ratio is 1 to 8.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE WHERE WE LAND

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.

With this land acknowledgement, and with everything we do, we recognize that we did not create the past, and are willing and ready to make a better future together through reconciliation and Calls to Action.

We are all Treaty People.
