Programs and fees (updated Nov. 2025)

​

 

Aspen Hill Montessori is a licensed childcare facility through the Province of Alberta. Our learning season is the Wednesday following Labour Day in September through to the third Friday of June the following year, with summer programming available. Placement into class levels is based on a blend of age, toileting, prior out-of-home-care experience, academic experience, and social / emotional development; and is at the discretion of Admissions. 

 

All children are considered individually for placement suitability. Have two or more children? Please consider our Sibling Guide. 

 

All programs are privately tuition funded. Any Provincial funding or subsidy programs forward of April 1, 2026 that may be applicable to AHM would be removed from listed amounts.
