Literary and Numeracy are our foundational focus and we help students to develop inquiry and critical thinking skills around learning about our world.

Home-Start is a unique program in that it is facilitated by caring, committed volunteers with parenting experience and a heart for families with young children. Volunteers offer friendship and practical support to a family for 2-4 hours per week.  The relationships built and support offered make a huge difference in strengthening families!  

We are looking for special people in your community!

The Community Cleanup Program led by Calgary Community Standards (formerly Animal & Bylaw Services) would like to thank the Community Association,  volunteers and the residents for a job well done at the Community Cleanup this year.

Thank you for your community spirit and hope to see you again next year!

There are some major and minor road work projects slated for Cambrian Heights in 2016.

The most notable project is a large one involving Northmount Drive NW (between Cambrian Drive & 4^th Street). In addition, I would expect another large project involving 14^th Street will also have an impact on our community, especially is it relates to the morning/afternoon commuter traffic.

In addition, many areas, particularly on the west side of Cambrian Heights, are slated for micro surfacing.

Details on the City’s 2016 road work plans can be found here:

Edelweiss Preparatory School operates in the Cambrian Heights Community Association hall. We have been here since 1988  and we continue to enjoy our relationship with this lovely community that has been so supportive of our school over the years contributing to the longevity and success of the school.

During this 28th year, the Edelweiss students have had a wonderful school year full of educational experiences! They have had weekly Science experiments with Captain Science and weekly Music & Spanish lessons with amazing teachers.

Various classes went on field trips to the Corn Maze, the Aerospace Museum, Alberta Ballet, The Fish Hatchery, Mt. Pleasant Art Centre, Safety City and the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. Of course, the yellow school bus ride is always a big highlight no matter where we take them!

They have benefitted from in class presentations from the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, the Humane Society, Pedal Heads Bike Safety,  Clay for Kids and Christopher Cool the Magician’s shows on Halloween Safety and Recycling. The Kindergarten students have learned about different cultures complimented by special presenters from 10 countries in the world.

At Christmas, the children took part in an Artist in Residence program  and after the workshops performed the Nutcracker in a Nutshell to the delight of their parents.

The Kindergarten children have an enriched art program including studying the works of famous artists and exposure to various techniques and mediums such as paper mache, Chinese brush painting, soapstone carving and pottery to just name few.

As part of our Virtues program, the children have learned 10 different virtues to help them develop holistically. Edelweiss is an endorsed  ECO HEALTHY child care program and we teach the children monthly thematic units on the environment and how to care for our world and each other.

This year Edelweiss won an award in the Best Preschool category from Calgary’s Child for the ninth time!

To end off the year the children enjoyed a concert from Ballooner Landing TV hosts Lee & Sandy Paley and a Butterfield Acres Petting Farm came to Edelweiss for a fun western themed day!

We have preschool classes for 3-year-olds,  Jr. Kindergarten classes for 4-year-olds and Kindergarten for 5-year-olds. If you are interested to know more about our programs and availability, please contact us at 403-282-4220 or visit the school website www.epschool.ca
