Age-Appropriate Care From 12 Months to School Age
Every room at Tiny Hoppers Calgary is designed around how children at that specific stage actually learn — through play, routine, relationship, and hands-on exploration.
Every Program Includes
Tiny Squirts — Infant Care
Your baby's first daycare experience matters more than any other. Our infant room is a warm, sensory-rich environment where consistent caregivers learn your child's rhythms, cues, and personality — and build the kind of trust that lets them thrive.
What We Focus On
- Sensory exploration — textures, sounds, visual stimulation
- Tummy time, movement, and physical development milestones
- Language introduction through songs, stories, and narrated play
- Secure attachment with a consistent primary caregiver
- Sleep and feeding routines that match your home schedule

Tiny Tots — Toddler Care
Toddlers are curious about everything and ready to test everything. Our toddler room is built for that energy — structured enough to feel safe, open enough to let them explore, and staffed by educators who understand how to guide without stifling.
What We Focus On
- Language explosion — vocabulary, sentence building, storytelling
- Social skills — sharing, turn-taking, conflict resolution basics
- Fine motor development through art, puzzles, and building
- Self-regulation and emotional identification
- Independence in dressing, feeding, and clean-up routines

What We Focus On
- Creative arts — painting, sculpting, music, and dramatic play
- Science and nature exploration through hands-on experiments
- Early literacy — storytelling, letter awareness, book handling
- Social confidence — listening, sharing, group participation
- Gross motor development through structured outdoor time

Tiny Scholars — Pre-K
Kindergarten is close. Our Tiny Scholars program is designed to bridge the gap — giving 4 and 5 year olds the academic confidence, classroom behaviour, and independence they need to thrive from day one of school.

- Pre-numeracy — counting, patterns, shapes, and sorting
- Writing readiness — pencil grip, tracing, name writing
- Classroom skills — listening, following instructions, group work
- Emotional regulation and independence — lining up, self-help, transitions

All meals are prepared in accordance with the Canadian Food Guide's Healthy Plate recommendations. Protein is substituted with lentils, black beans, chickpeas, mixed vegetables, cauliflower, plant-based meat, and tofu for vegetarian options. Allergy-aware menus are available on request.
