Care that feels like home
Little Roots is a small, family-style day home. Children spend their days in a real home, with a familiar face, a cozy routine and plenty of room to explore at their own pace.
With 10 years of experience caring for young children, we know that every child is different. Some need extra cuddles at drop-off, some need a little more time to try new foods, and some want to build the tallest tower in Calgary. We meet each child where they are.
We are an Alberta government approved day home, so you can feel confident that your child's care meets provincial standards for safety and quality.
Small steps today. Big futures tomorrow.
