What We Value

• Our Director, Shannon Stewart is a Pedagogical Partner with the Alberta Flight Framework. She values the important role this plays in the strength of early learning programs across Alberta. In this role, along with her role at Bowmont, she works to support and coach programs to bring the values of this Alberta Framework to programs in Calgary.
• The Bowmont Team are members of the Community Action for Early Childhood Coalition.
• We value outdoor play as an essential part of a child’s development. Therefore, we can be often be found mucking about with loose parts, watering our garden and exploring all the wonderings that the seasons bring.
• Community Connection through field trips and events in and around Bowness.
• Develop mental flexibility, inhibitory control and working memory (Executive Function) By offering opportunities for children to wait their turn, try new things, face challenges, and remember the sequence of a task, children are developing the executive function of their brain.

• Parent & child support and intervention

• We mentor students from the bachelor of child studies program at Mount Royal University. This keeps our practice current and continues to develop the value we hold for best practice in the Early Learning Community.

• Foster the love of language and literacy through music, song, and storytelling
• Daily physical activity in our onsite gymnasium or outdoor play-space.
