Reviews of Kepler Academy Early Learning and Child Care - St. Albert (College)

I started Keplers for my son 2 months back and I couldn’t ask for better. Amazing and committed staff, it’s wonderful to see my son excited in the morning about going to the daycare! Miss D (Danielle) is amazing and so the other educators!

The staff and leadership is fantastic, very responsive to any inquiry. They take great pleasure in making sure they get the kids engaged with developing their skills. Always lot's of involvement by the staff to keep the little one active. They take the time to talk with parents anytime to develop the best atmosphere for the children. True professionals and very hard working.

I was so nervous to bring my little one to daycare for the first time. The transition was hard for both of us, but the only thing that kept me from giving up and resigning myself to never having my child adjust was the fact that the Kepler staff were so, so kind and patient with her (and me!). We worked together and eventually with time and understanding, my babe now thrives with her educators at Kepler and has blossomed into this amazing toddler. I credit much of that to the team at Kepler for nurturing her wild personality and loving her for who she is!

The St. Albert branch just opened but we transferred here from the Westlink one, along with the director Lindsay, who headed the opening. The programs at Kepler are a perfect blend of fun and smart--that simple. Tours can give you more details but suffice it to say, I wouldn't change a thing. Our daughter loves it and always has something interesting to say about her activities that day (things that I definitely didn't do in my own daycare as a kid). In terms of people, every staff member was always happy and friendly at Westlink. I am writing this review on the St. Albert one though because I am familiar with the work of Lindsay, more so than her replacement at Westlink. Furthermore, I just met some of the new staff here and they are just as welcoming and competent; it is basically the same place but with bigger, newer rooms, and some pretty neat/unique things/toys to interact with. Also.... they get to play on the roof?! That's really cool

This is a beautiful new facility and wonderful director and staff. Our 1 year old just started and the transition is going well. Great communication and lots of fun programming. Can’t wait to watch our son grow with Kepler.

Third Kepler location my son has attended and all have been exceptional! He truly enjoys his time here and always surprises us with something new learned. Great job Kepler team!

Choosing childcare can be a daunting task. I had never enrolled my boys in daycare prior to this fall. When I discovered Kepler Academy, this was a new realm of learning for me. I am so happy that I made the choice to trust Lindsay, Sarah, Sarwat and the rest of the team with my boys. I work at the Sturgeon Hospital so the location is more than convenient. With an opening time of 0630, they can accommodate many of my different shifts. They even do pick up and drop off at my older child's school, Lois E. Hole, which has been a lifesaver for a shift working mom! Keep up the great work! XOXO, K, D and T

I have had my son in many daycares from moving often and this is hands down the best daycare my son Samson has ever been in. From the very first day he took to the space and teachers like fish to water and dropping him off has been a breeze (he used to cry every time we dropped him off even after months of the same daycare) and we only started in January! Each day he develops new skills, his language and speech has advanced and he becomes more and more sociable. The ladies here take great care of the kids and are so sweet. The food they serve is often better than what I eat in a day and they have a great little app that sends you updates and pictures of your child’s day. This is a higher price point for childcare but you definitely get what you pay for and when it comes to our kids development and care, it’s worth the extra $$$ to know that they are well taken care of. Plus you can claim it in your taxes anyways ;)

Both of our boys started attending Kepler in August 2021. It has been a great transition for them as they left a small day home to Kepler. They both wake up happy and excited for their "School Day" at Kepler. Everyone at Kepler is nice, kind and caring. They boys are happy to see Miss Toni and Miss Lindsay when they walk in every morning. Both of them have also made strong connections to their teachers which we are grateful for. It is also nice to hear feedback on our sons behaviour while at Kepler so that we know if there is anything we need to address at home. Kepler is a great atmosphere with open communication between educators and parents. We are very happy with the care Kepler provides to our sweet boys!

Both our boys attend Kepler academy and are excited to go each morning. My youngest (4) immediately knew all the names of the staff and talked about all his “funny” stories of things they had done throughout the day. It’s also amazing to know my kids are both eating healthy away from home without having to pack extra food as it’s all prepared in house! My oldest (6) is transported safely to and from school and in the short time he is at Kepler, he still manages to share a ton of ideas and the stellar room is always transformed into such a magical environment. Can’t say enough good things!

Kepler Academy provides outstanding care. The programming is fun and educational, and the meal plan is fresh, healthy and kid friendly.

Kim Kruse

I love the care they give my little one. When I’m at work.

We absolutely love the care our boy receives from the educators at Kepler Academy St Albert. Even in times of COVID, the staff are warm and welcoming to parents and the children. Everyone is so caring and helpful. As a mom juggling the child, a diaper bag, my purse and the car seat; it was so nice to have someone offer to carry a bag out for me! My son has been attending the Sturgeon location since it opened. The building is secure. It is bright and spacious with lots of natural light. The staff are attentive and the toys are clean and well kept. I don't worry about him getting into things he shouldn't. The children benefit from the structured activities (they do art classes for one-year-olds!). My son loves playing with the other children his age and he seems to be learning new skills quickly playing with the variety of toys available. I highly recommend Kepler Academy. It is so much more than a daycare.

Jordana Gillam

I was so nervous about putting my daughter in daycare and Toni and Lindsay did everything possible to make the transition as smooth as possible for all of us. Her educators are so caring and keep me updated during the day through their app, keeping me comfortable and confident being away from my daughter, especially knowing that healthy snacks and meals are all provided! I highly recommend Kepler Academy for your family.

Lana Harris

From the moment we walked in the door, Lindsay at Sturgeon was so welcoming! I knew right away that we had found a new home for my 2.5 year old daughter ???? I love that all of the staff knows not only Charleigh’s name and welcomes her but name as well. Impressive! Thankful to have found you all. Well done Kepler Sturgeon!

Meg Andalis

One of the best decisions we've made for our daughter. Director Lindsay and Toni are great leaders and have a wonderful team of educators who truly care for the children's whole well-being and development. My daughter has been through 3 daycares throughout the years and by far, this is the best one. With constant updates via email and mobile app, outstanding menu, fun and educational activities in and out of the classroom, I believe they deserve to be at the top. The care they have for the children, educators AND parents are seen every time you come in, have an inquiry, or the emails you receive of non-stop improvements, events and activites so the kids, educators and parents are in a safe, inclusive and growth minded environment. I honestly can't say enough praises for them. How I wish my daughter could spend her K12 classes here full time. ???? We'll wait for that day I guess.

I have been very pleased with the reliable & professional staff at Kepler. My grandson is very happy to attend, learning new skills constantly. The educators use interesting & innovative methods of teaching. Very clean & spacious surroundings. The food prepared & served smells divine! I’m very happy we have Kepler in St Albert. The outside play area is large & is an interesting area for play for the children.

Teri Christensen

My daughter loves going to Kepler and has made leaps and bounds in potty training and problem solving. Then the food always smells so fantastic. Great place and great people!!!

Jessica Rose

We absolutely love the Sturgeon Keppler Academy!! The staff and teachers are amazing and my child loves going to school! Highly recommend!

Allison Hopkins

Great experience with Kepler Sturgeon; clean, professional, good communication, beautiful creative space and the meals provided are nutritious.

After touring several daycares in St Albert and feeling disappointed that we had not found a good fit, we heard of a new daycare opening up called ‘Kepler’. From the minute we walked in for our tour with Lindsay and Sarah we felt ‘at home’ and knew we would be sending our daughter here. It is well organized, clean, safe, and has the best outdoor play space that we have ever seen at a daycare! The meals that are provided are nutritious and there is plenty of variety. Our daughter has been attending for 2 months now and she is so excited to go to daycare in the mornings, can you ask for anything better? We are THRILLED we found this daycare! Last but not least, in our opinion what makes Kepler stand out from the other centres we have toured - the educators.... They are truly amazing and so great with the kids. We have watched our daughter transition from the baby room with Wynne to the Toddler room with Lena, Ali, and Jordan and we have been absolutely thrilled with the educators. They all bring unique strengths and personalities and we love all of them for the way they are with the kiddos. All of the educators know our daughters name, it is a wonderful feeling. THANK YOU Kepler!

Heather Van D

Such a wonderful daycare ???? I am very cautious when choosing care for my children and checked into multiple places and asked a million questions. Kepler definitely stands out above the rest and sets the bar high. The staff are so great with the children not just watching them but engaging, teaching and playing with them, it feels like a 2nd home. The director goes above and beyond and instills confidence in the care my children are receiving. I know my kids are in great hands when they are there.

Marihan Kamar

We had our tour with Lindsay at the St. Albert location and she was such a pleasure to meet. She took her time through the tour and answered all of our questions! She was also wonderful with following up with us to ensure we had all the information we needed! Thanks Lindsay!

Kim Lyle

Amazing! Everyone that works there is so great. My kids absolutely love it there and look forward to going so they can play with their friends. They are always so happy and excited and tell me all about their days when I go to pick them up. Lindsay and Sarah are so great and responsive and are always keeping us updated as to what's going on. The app for daily communication is also great and I can see pictures of things my kids did during the day and what they ate. I would recommend it to anyone to bring their kids there. They are super patient and understanding and really care about the kids and creating a fun, interactive and safe environment for playing and learning.

Sheldon Wells

From the minute we walked in we all wanted to stay and play. The team is very welcoming, the daycare is perfectly designed for little people, with endless puzzles and learning kits. All of this only a bonus to great teacher and very thorough program. From 6:30am until 6:00pm we know our girl can be here safe, having fun and constantly learning. AND, everything is included with a very healthy menu!

Shay Kimber

Have my son Enrolled in the Stargazer room since he was 11 months. They keep me updated verbally at the end of the day and throughout the day with photos, meals he ate and what time he naps with an app which helps ease my mind while away at work. 10/10 experience overall!

Chelsey Hofer

We have being attending Kepler for 2 years and love the staff there. It’s a family feeling which is rare with a daycare and the educational based play is exactly what we were looking for! Our child has learnt a ton and her language skills for her age are incredible.
