THE EVERBRIGHT DIFFERENCE

---

At EverBright Academy, we believe that early childhood is a time of wonder, growth, and endless possibility. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to nurture each child's natural curiosity, emotional well-being, cultural identity, and developing intelligence. Through exception educators, elevated learning environments, and a research-based curriculum, EverBright Academy provides an experience that helps every child shine.

EverBright Academy follows a blended, research-backed philosophy shaped by:

• Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning & Care Framework
• Reggio Emilia’s inquiry-based learning
• Waldorf’s focus on imagination and emotional development
• Montessori’s self-directed, hands-on exploration

Together, these approaches allow us to create a powerful environment where children learn through play, inquiry, relationships, and discovery.

• Daily opportunities to explore, question, build, and create
• Educators who observe, support, and extend learning
• A balance between guided activities and child-led play
• Holistic development—mental, emotional, physical, social
• Learning stories and documentation that track growth and milestones

Our approach ensures every child is recognized as a capable, confident, mighty learner and citizen.

From calming infant spaces to imaginative preschool rooms and dynamic OSC areas, EverBright Academy invests in environments that support learning, safety, and joy.

• Bright, airy classrooms with natural light
• High-quality, open-ended learning materials
• Sensory-rich centers: art, STEM, literacy, dramatic play, fine motor
