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.
Blum is a lovely space where my child has been able to thrive and grow beautifully over the last year. She receives care and attention, all different kinds of play opportunities, healthy food, and help achieving developmental milestones. The closest playground is about a 5 minute walk… maybe 10 for little legs. They get loads of time exploring the community and trying different play spaces. It’s great for an inner-city setting. There are so many great opportunities to get involved (including joining the family advisory board) that are posted in the monthly newsletter. We have found the daily reports to be so helpful, the staff to be very collaborative, and the leadership responsive to questions and concerns. Mother, Preschool Classroom
