About Us

MEET THE TEAM

Where Discovery Meets Development

Through our partnership with YWCA Banff, we provide a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment for families. Licensed for 24 children in a mixed group setting, we offer both part-time and full-time care. Guided by Alberta’s FLIGHT curriculum, our educators support social-emotional development and celebrate every child as a strong, capable 'Mighty Learner.'

Community Connections

We believe in the power of community connections. Children participate in enriching experiences such as intergenerational programs with Cascade House, story time at the Banff Library, outdoor play in Parks Canada’s Cascade Gardens of Time, and tending to a community garden plot with the Town of Banff. These opportunities deepen their sense of belonging and broaden their understanding of the world.

Family connection is at the heart of our philosophy. We host events throughout the year that bring families together, building an active and welcoming community. Educators also foster strong communication through monthly Learning Stories, which capture children’s growth and learning in portfolios or digital formats. Families can share in these milestones while staying connected through our private Facebook page, where updates, events, and everyday experiences are shared.


Our Approach to Early Learning

At Puzzles Child Care we recognize every child as 'Mighty Learners', strong, resourceful, and capable. Our responsive environment is inclusive and designed to capture and nurture all children’s holistic dispositions to learn. Puzzles Child Care is a place of vitality, where children receive meaningful access, support, and opportunities for participation.

Through strong relationships with families, the community, and educators, we create shared understanding and meaningful learning experiences for our early learning citizens. We are also committed to providing foundational support for self-regulation and social-emotional development by using intentional intervention strategies guided by the Pyramid Model.

LEarn more about enrolment

I will forever be grateful for the exceptional care my two children received at Puzzles Daycare. The thoughtful, consistent, and developmentally appropriate approach of the team educators set great foundations for my children to learn to be independent, responsible, and kind. They loved their time there and they still talk about their teachers, their friends, and the awesome toys.

Choosing Puzzles for our child has been one of the best decisions I have made. The educators there are more than caregivers, they are nurturing, patient and truly invested in each child's growth and happiness. Everyday our little one comes home excited and tired, having learned something new and making memories with her friends.The environment is warm, safe and full of love, making it a second home for her. I am beyond grateful for the dedication and kindness of the entire team at Puzzles.
