The Okotoks location is in the thriving community of Westmount, near the intersection of Highway 7 and Southridge Dr. We are just across the street from the Westmount School where we walk students to and from for our Before and After School Program.
Our location is proudly endorsed by Eco-Healthy Child Care®, a program that partners with child care professionals to eliminate environmental hazards in early learning settings with the goal of protecting the health of children and staff.
We have 11 classrooms that accommodate 136 children from 0 months to 12 years old. Children can join our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Kindergarten, or School Age programs on a full-time or backup care basis.
In each classroom, you’ll notice webcams that caregivers can access throughout the day, as well as plenty of toys that support our emergent curriculum and learn-through-play philosophy. We also have a gross motor room which offers children the chance to get physical on cold or rainy days. Outside is a large playground surrounded by trees that children can enjoy year-round.
Children are provided with a hot lunch and 3 snacks each day, catered by our Kidco Kitchen. The Kidco Kitchen is founded on a fresh-from-scratch philosophy and our food contains no additives, preservatives, artificial flavours or colours. Learn more here.

Meet the Director
My name is Karen Clements, and I am the Centre Director of Okotoks. I have a degree in Early Child Care Education – AB Level 3. With over 26 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to the child care field. My passion for working in child care stems from the fact that it is a place where children are encouraged to grow, learn, and experience joy. I am particularly passionate about fostering connections with families and a collaborative environment to ensure children feel loved and respected. Being a part of Kids & Company allows me to cultivate strong relationships with my co-workers. We actively share our experiences, discuss routines, and provide support to one another to ensure each individual’s success. Our center is conveniently located across the street from Westmount School. It boasts a beautiful building and a spacious, fenced outdoor play area. Our classrooms are bathed in natural light thanks to the expansive windows, offering our children with the opportunity to observe the year-round presence of Mule Deer.

Our rooms are bright with huge windows where the children are able to watch the Mule Deer year round.
Kids & Company’s Infant program welcomes newborns up to roughly 15 months. Infants learn about the world around them through their senses, so exploration is critical to their development. Nurturing educators support the children while they take in their surroundings, encouraging them to experience everything the classroom offers; be it creative art, exploring with blocks, listening to songs or engaging in story-time. Our infant program encourages children to follow their own established routines, while becoming comfortable and secure in a new group setting.
Kids & Company’s Toddler program is for children between the ages of roughly 15 months and 2.9 years. Toddlers are mobile and eager to explore their environment. As they strive for independence, our educators use an Emergent curriculum approach to learning that supports each child’s individuality. Some of the most important learning outcomes of our toddler program are language development, socialization, self-help skills, and the development of fine and gross motor skills.
Kids & Company’s Preschool program is designed for children between the ages of roughly 2.9 - 6 years. Our educators interact, observe and interpret the interests of our children to encourage discoveries. Our Preschool program provides a foundation for developing greater independence and problem-solving skills; the program integrates new concepts into our children’s world view, promotes sharing and mutual respect, and prepares them for Kindergarten.
Kids & Company’s School Age program accepts children from 5 - 12 years old (Grade 1 - 6) and is available at select locations. Programs include Before and After School Care, School Break Programming, and Summer Camp. Classroom space exists for smaller groups to gather, and activities are designed to meet the needs of varying developmental levels, touching on arts, science, math, drama, imaginative play, and physical fitness. Educators are also available to provide academic support for children that wish to do their homework during After School Care.
