Located in Liberton Square, Kids & Company St. Albert North is right on St. Albert Trail and about twenty minutes from downtown Edmonton. Being a part of a vibrant, culture-filled community aligns with the lively energy of our teachers and kids. We provide high-quality care and early learning from infants up to school-age kids. Our space features seven bright and beautiful classrooms in a beautiful stand-alone building with lots of parking for pick-up and drop-off. At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn through play philosophy. We’re very proud of our proprietary programs! They include Alpha Mania (pre-literacy and early reading), Mini Masters (art), and Munchkinetics (movement) and are designed to engage our children in a learning process that encourages self-expression, creativity, coordination and most importantly, fun! You’ll find sign language in our baby and toddler rooms, and all our children participate in music, French, science & exploration and creative play throughout our day. Our Kidco Kitchen creates healthy, made from scratch snacks and lunch for the children each day. At the end of the day, as you gather your child’s belongings from their dedicated cubbie, they can help themselves to a complimentary Grab and Go snack for the ride home. More than just daycare, we offer flexible child care and early education to help families achieve a greater work-life balance.Located in Liberton Square, Kids & Company St. Albert North is right on St. Albert Trail and about twenty minutes from downtown Edmonton.

I am Ana Marie Robertson, the Centre Director of Kids & Company St. Albert North. I have a Bachelor Degree in Science in Secondary Education. I have been working in child care for over 7 years and I have been working with Kids & Company since 2016. I knew I wanted to work in child care since I began my studies. I have a very supportive husband and a happy daughter of our own. As a family, we love to spend quality time together doing outdoor activities, such as hiking or biking. I also love to read, study different languages, and relax with crossword puzzles in my spare time. The Kids & Company St. Albert North team works diligently to provide a superior nurturing and educational early learning environment for children to play, discover and grow. We have a fantastic team of teachers who are dedicated to providing a warm learning environment for our children. St. Albert city is full of life and is constantly hosting numerous festivals, celebrations, social and traditional events. There are also plenty of parks and facilities for outdoor activities like team sports, hiking, cross country skiing, and others. Now that you know a little more about me, I hope to see you and your family soon!
At Kids & Company, we work with your family to ensure that the transition is a smooth one. Before your child’s first day, we’ll provide information on what to expect. We’ll create an integration schedule that is right for your child and every day that your child is in the classroom, you’ll receive a daily report that lets you know how your child’s day was. You’ll also be able to see him or her on our in classroom web cameras. The Centre Director will even send you an email before the end of the day if your child has a special “wow” moment that day.
Toddlers learn best in the context of relationships within small groups. There are fewer distractions and children’s activities are more focused. In Kids & Company toddler classrooms, our small groups allow very young children to make connections, form caring relationships, and learn to understand other children.
Kids & Company runs comprehensive kindergarten programs designed for children who are 4 or 5 years old (junior and senior kindergarten age) to prepare them for Grade 1. Using emergent curriculum techniques to adapt to the children’s’ interests and skills, we set a foundation of early literacy, numeracy, artistry, and the construction of relationships and ideas. Kindergarten programs are integrated into full-time child care to provide convenience and continuity.
Kids & Company offers school-age adventures during school breaks and summer for children 6-12, with select centres offering support during online schooling. We meet each morning at your chosen centre and then undertake daily adventures on-site. We plan themes and outings that are designed to stimulate and excite in a setting that is safe, social and fun. Children who join us for a day, a week or a summer create important friendships and exercise their minds and bodies.
