core cONCEPTS

Nutrition – At Mountain Munchkin, we focus on healthy nutritious food all prepared in house. We believe what a child eats has a huge impact on their daily potential.

Whole Child – We aim to build children’s self-esteem and self-worth by giving every child the opportunity to express themselves and be treated with respect, allowing children to reach their full potential. 

Music – Music its good for the soul!  Here at Mountain Munchkin, we incorporate music into our programming as a way to allow for individual expression, to lift self esteem, and to create fun engaging environment.

Nature/ GEO awareness – Nature is all around us here in the Bow Valley. At daycare, we focus on the importance of the earth to us as humans and we learn how to care for and how to enjoy nature.

Early Literacy & Numeracy – Here at daycare we aim to introduce early literacy to out children to provide a smoother and earlier transition to school.

Science/Discovery/Measurement – We encourage our children to discover nature by exploring, experimenting and being curious about all that is around us.  This not only creates an early interest in science, but it also allows for a smoother transition to school.

Physical Literacy – Here at mountain munchkin we focus on teaching fundamental movement skills to give children the physical confidence and competence to be active for life.

Empathic Community – Mountain Munchkin values and appreciates the importance of community both locally and globally. We aim to provide young individuals with the opportunity to learn and participate in local and global community projects in order to gain global consciousness from a very young age.
