Five things parents notice within their first week:
As a licensed daycare Red Deer facility, Brainy Bees meets all Alberta Child Care Licensing Act requirements for health, safety, and staff qualifications. Brainy Bees is licensed by Alberta Children’s Services.
What licensing gives your family:
Unlicensed daycare in Red Deer is legal but has none of these requirements. You cannot verify staff qualifications, ratios, or safety.
As a licensed child care facility, we offer current childcare rates as per the Alberta Government’s childcare affordability plan, and we are approved for the Affordability Grant. Please contact us directly for our current fee schedule and availability.

Montessori is not a brand name. It is a scientific method of education developed by Dr. Maria Montessori over 100 years ago. The method is based on observation of how children learn naturally.
What makes Montessori different from regular daycare:
Regular Daycare | Montessori at Brainy Bees |
Teacher leads activities | Child chooses activities |
Same activity for whole group | Different activity for each child |
Toys with batteries and lights | Materials made of wood, glass, metal |
Interruptions and transitions | Uninterrupted 3-hour work cycle |
Praise and rewards | Intrinsic satisfaction from completion |
Teacher answers questions | Teacher shows where to find answer |
Montessori children develop concentration, self-discipline, and a genuine love of learning. They do not need stickers or gold stars to want to read.
Every child is different, and we welcome children from birth. We recommend a gradual entry: short visits that build up to a full day. If you have your own plan, we are happy to work with it.
Infant spots (birth to 18 months) are limited, with only six crib spaces. Toddler and preschool spots often have shorter waits. The fastest way to check is to call 825-559-2337.
Yes. We are approved for the Alberta Affordability Grant for our early childhood programs. For before and after school care, families may qualify for the income-based subsidy.
We have children with Cerebral Palsy, speech delays, autism, and behavioral challenges currently enrolled. Call and ask for Ms. Maya (founder) to discuss your child's specific needs.
We provide morning and afternoon snacks and 2% milk for children 12 months and older. Lunch comes from home, and we can warm it up in the preschool rooms if you ask. Hot lunch day is the last Thursday of each month, so no packed lunch is needed that day. We do not give babies under 12 months any new foods because of allergies, so parents send their food.
We use positive guidance and natural consequences. No time-outs, no shaming, no punishment. A child who hits learns to get a cold pack for the other child and practice gentle hands. A child who throws food helps clean the floor.
You have read the reviews.
Now come see the classrooms. Bring your child. Watch them pour water into a pitcher. Watch them trace sandpaper letters. Watch them concentrate for 20 minutes on one activity.
That concentration is not normal daycare behavior. It is Montessori.
