Our Early Learning Calgary Philosophy
At House of Diamonds, our early learning Calgary philosophy is centered around the idea that children thrive in environments that foster curiosity and creativity. Our approach is designed to nurture the unique strengths and abilities of each child.
Play-Based Learning Methodology
Our early learning Calgary philosophy is rooted in the understanding that children learn most effectively through meaningful play experiences. We embrace play-based learning as the cornerstone of early childhood education, recognizing it as the natural way children explore, understand, and master their world.
Building Confidence and Resilience
Building confidence is central to our approach; we create opportunities for children to experience appropriate challenges and celebrate their accomplishments. Resilience develops as children learn to navigate social interactions, overcome obstacles, and persist through difficulties with supportive guidance.
Through play-based learning, creativity, and discovery, we guide children to build confidence, resilience, and a love for learning. Our educators are skilled at recognizing teachable moments within play and extending learning naturally without disrupting children’s engagement.
Comprehensive Programs at House of Diamonds

Infant Development Program (Ages 1-2)
Our Infant Development Program focuses on building trust, language development, and sensory exploration in a nurturing early learning environment. With low child-to-educator ratios, infants receive individualized attention that follows their unique rhythm and developmental needs.
Toddler Learning Program (Ages 2-3)
The Toddler Learning Program embraces this age group’s growing independence and curiosity through structured play opportunities. Toddlers engage in activities that develop language, fine and gross motor skills, and early numeracy concepts, preparing them for future kindergarten success.
Pre-Kindergarten Program (Ages 3-5)
Our Pre-Kindergarten Program builds kindergarten readiness through a balance of play-based learning and more structured educational experiences. Pre-kindergarten children develop early literacy and numeracy skills, scientific thinking, and social-emotional maturity needed for school success over the years ahead.

- Scientific inquiry and social studies concepts through hands-on activities
Fine Arts and Creative Expression

Building meaningful relationships is fundamental to our approach.

As co-learners, they foster curiosity and wonder, rather than simply delivering information.
“The way we educate is through co-learning, where the teacher is not just a transmitter of knowledge but a partner in the learning journey.”
