A warm moment at Moonlite Montessori Academy

About Us

The story behind Moonlite

A warm, family-feeling Montessori community in the heart of Stony Plain — built on genuine relationships, not just childcare.

Our story

Built for Stony Plain families

Moonlite Montessori Academy was founded on a simple idea: Stony Plain families deserved a genuine Montessori option that didn't stop at kindergarten. Too many families were forced to choose between an authentic Montessori daycare and reliable out-of-school care for their older children — often splitting siblings across two different centres.

We built Moonlite to be the centre we wished existed for our own families — one community, one philosophy, one place where every child from infancy through the school years is known by name.

Today, Moonlite is proud to be Stony Plain's only Montessori centre offering both daycare and out of school care under one roof.

What we stand for

Our values in practice

These aren't wall-poster words — they shape every decision we make, from staffing ratios to snack menus.

Genuine Respect for the Child

We see every child as capable and worthy of trust — never talked over, rushed or dismissed.

Real Partnership with Families

You know your child best. We work alongside you, not around you, with honest daily communication.

Genuine Training, Not Labels

Our educators hold real Montessori and early childhood credentials — this is a practice, not a marketing word.
