Spanish Montessori Learning Centre Day Care

Spanish Montessori Learning Centre (SMLC) is the first Spanish Immersion daycare program in the City of Lethbridge. We opened our doors on September 15, 2008 and have been loving the adventure ever since!  

It is our goal to provide a place where children can be exposed mainly to the Spanish language in a fun and educational environment.  We are a daycare alternative for families looking for a Montessori program for the price of regular daycare.

We serve children ages 0 to 6 years. We follow the Montessori Philosophy and Methodology in the program for  Toddlers and Kindergarten (19 months to 6 years old). For infants (0 to 19 months) we provide a loving and safe place where they will be immersed mainly in the Spanish Language. We offer a variety of programs either full-time or part-time, including before/after school care, to suit the individual needs of every family. 

We believe in the importance of individual and free learning, providing the children with a safe nurturing and interesting environment so they can discover about themselves others and the world around them. 

Montessori education emphasizes learning through hands-on experiences and the use of all five senses, not just by listening, watching, or reading. Therefore, our focus is to give children opportunities to do every day practical activities that will help them develop their sensory, motor, emotional, language, social and problem-solving skills.
