About Dragonfly Discovery Children's Centre
A Place to Shine
With our progressive and holistic early childhood education philosophy, we understand that each child has unique needs and interests. We provide the environment and tools your child needs to thrive to the best of their abilities, in all of our programs.
When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences in our Montessori style learning environment, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave Dragonfly Discovery Children's Centre, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.
The educational programs at Dragonfly Discovery Children's Centre were created with our children’s needs in mind: to mature and develop in a safe yet stimulating environment. Take a look below to learn more about each program.

The facility is a bright character building in downtown Invermere, with old growth trees and close to the beach and playgrounds.
The children can enjoy multiple garden plots and potted plants, on-site that offer interactive opportunities to plant, care for, harvest, and eat fresh fruits and veggies.
Many activities are set up to encourage fine motor control and creative expression.
The large outdoor yard has a pump track, swings, sand boxes, play houses
and other interactive play equipment.
An indoor gym offers opportunities for gross motor skills and dramatic play, with bikes, costumes, musical instruments.
Our yard offers summer outdoor water play and stimulating outdoor winter play. We also enjoy regular out-trips to nearby parks, beaches and sledding hills.
OUR VISION
Unique and Valuable
We believe that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, especially while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each child’s strengths, interests and curiosities, we guide the child to explore the world around them, as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships.
