Hillhurst Campus
Students are Blüm are given trust and autonomy for greater independence within a community-oriented and deeply collaborative framework. This lends itself to the intentional design of the campus.
Monday to Friday
7:00 AM to 5:30 PM
Located in the middle of the main floor of 19+2, Blüm Childcare Academy in West Hillhurst is proud to provide a fresh and modern early learning Academy. In our classrooms, everything has a purpose and a place, and this practice of clutter-free living is taught to all students.
Our tight-knit campus communities are ignited to engage our students to develop a clear sense of values and a social conscience on their path to becoming responsible global citizens. Blüm is proud to be hyper-local and encourages our students to be involved with helping others both in and outside of their classrooms. These are a few of our key community partners:
The West Hillhurst Community Association is a robust hub for the neighboring community and features ample green space, which is one of the many approved play spaces where Blüm students participate in daily outdoor programming.
This facility provides subsidized housing for Albertans who have retired and is located a few short blocks from the Tuxedo Park campus. We are delighted to have our students participate in different activations with Sharon Manor residents throughout the year.
Made by Momma is a grassroots non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity located in Calgary’s NW. They help families facing situations of adversity and crisis by providing healthy prepared meals, supportive in-home visits, and many other services. Through scheduled goods drives, Blüm is proud to provide vital baby essentials and children’s items for families accessing Made by Momma.
Blüm offers a beautiful and thoughtful blend of Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework, a provincially recognized curriculum, with the internationally renowned Montessori method. This means no screens, only carefully curated educational toys for child-centric early learning and education.
The BEST childcare we’ve been to. We’ve been a VonKids, PLAY, and two Kids n. Co. locations over the course of mat leaves, Covid, closures etc and Blüm doesn’t even compare. We held our 5 year old later for kindergarten and were worried he miss out but their curriculum constantly had him learning and challenged him as an intellectual. Their Montessori focus has them doing activities that I set up as an eager Pinterest first time mom the first go that I no longer have energy for so I’m so grateful both kids get that there. The staff and educators are one of kind and truly love and adore our children. I love that they happily put siblings together when they’re missing each other or having a hard time. They have no outdoor space but actively get to the park daily and have different programs like jumpin jellies come in for gross motor time. They’re constantly accepting feedback to improve the flow of the entry way and cubby storage. We’re so grateful to have found care that is truly purposeful and eager to constantly grow, and most importantly adore, teach, and foster our children.
