Families in Evergreen, Alpine Park, Bridlewood, and surrounding SW Calgary communities are increasingly looking for out-of-school care programs that do more than just supervise children before and after school. At Bambini Learning Group, our Reggio-inspired out-of-care program approach offers an enriching environment that supports children’s emotional, social, and intellectual growth beyond the classroom.

What Is a Reggio-Inspired Out-of-School Program?

Rooted in the educational philosophy that originated in Reggio Emilia, Italy, Reggio-inspired programs view children as capable, curious, and full of potential. At Bambini, this philosophy guides every part of our out-of-school care, from the materials we use to the way we engage with each child. Children are encouraged to explore, express themselves through the arts, and collaborate with their peers in meaningful ways.

Why Families Choose Our Reggio-Inspired Program

Bridlewood and SW Calgary families value quality care that nurtures the whole child. Our Reggio-inspired OSC program emphasizes:

• Child-led exploration: Projects and activities are built around children’s interests.
• Creative expression: Art, music, and movement are woven into daily routines.
• Emotional intelligence: Mindfulness and reflection help children develop self-awareness.
• Connection to nature: Outdoor play and nature walks promote well-being.
• Community and collaboration: Children learn from and with each other in a supportive setting.

A Typical Day at Bambini Evergreen Out of School Care

Our out of out-of-school care program is thoughtfully designed to balance structured activities with opportunities for free play. Children might begin the afternoon with a healthy snack prepared by our in-house cook, followed by an art provocation inspired by seasonal nature themes. Later, they may join in on a yoga or mindfulness session, or work together on a group project that started earlier in the week.

Time outdoors is a core part of our day, whether it’s exploring nearby natural areas or participating in community clean-up projects. Everything is designed to help children unwind, reflect, and grow after a busy school day.
