*All children are welcome at KinderSprout, regardless of denomination and religion.
What Will my Child Learn?
Christian Character
Jesus is at the forefront of KinderSprout. We will learn how to live like Him by focusing on the fruits of the spirit, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law” (Galatians 5:22-23). Each month (September - June) we will focus on one fruit of the spirit, except for September, which will focus on the theme of friendship.
School Readiness Skills
We learn about our emotions, how to play and communicate with one another, and how to process sensory stimulation. Your child will gain and practice their executive functioning and social skills.
Academic Skills
We will meet your child where he/she is at, focusing on literacy, numeracy, fine and gross motor skills. We will look to the Alberta Kindergarten Program of Studies to help guide our teaching, as well as the Alberta Early Learning “Flight” curriculum.
Our daily schedule includes literacy and numeracy learning centers/activities, and plenty of learning through play!
Kindergarten-aged children get to experience classroom-style learning with a certified teacher in a unique small-group setting. This means more individualized attention, academic support and reduced stress and overstimulation during this important year of learning!
Meet the Educators
The KinderSprout team is made up of a passionate, educated, Christian group of women.

Early Childhood Educator, Level 3 & Certified Teacher
Hello! I'm Tessalee, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the wonderful community of KinderSprout.
After high school, my journey started at Millar College of the Bible, where my interest in teaching peaked while taking a children’s ministry course. I deepened my relationship with God and expanded my Biblical knowledge.
I recently graduated from Red Deer Polytechnic with a Bachelor's in Education. Before joining KinderSprout, I wore multiple hats as an assistant camp director/office administrator at Camp Silversides and dedicated five years as a nanny.
Beyond academics, you'll often find me curled up with a book or being creative by drawing while listening to an audiobook.
Working with children has always been a passion of mine, and I feel truly blessed to teach while sharing the love of God with each child. I look forward to contributing to the growth and development of your child at KinderSprout.

Early Childhood Educator, Level 2
Hello! My name is Aggie Ezetennadi and I am looking forward to starting with Kindersprout Playschool. I am the oldest of 11 children, so I have always been around children and just kind of gravitated in that direction. I have taught Sunday school, as well as volunteerd in the nursery at church. I used to run a day home for many years in Lethbridge, and then also in Red Deer when I moved here in 2013. I have my level 2, and worked in a different daycare for four and half years before starting with KinderSprout.
I was born in Ontario, moved to Mexico when I was about 8, lived there for 4 years, and then moved to Alberta in 1994. I have been here ever since.
I have a 12-year-old daughter and 3 beautiful step-children that just fill my heart. I am excited to get the opportunity to work in a faith-based daycare. It is a passion of mine to be able to teach children that they are loved by God.

Certified TeacherHello! My name is Jeanette Martel and I am thrilled to be at KinderSprout!
I received my Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta in 2013 and I have been teaching and working with children since then. My husband and I were born and raised in Red Deer and now are raising our 4 kids here too. Our family likes to spend time in God's creation exploring, hiking and camping together! We attend First Christian Reformed Church here in Red Deer and enjoy being a part of many ministries there.
I absolutely love working with children and believe it is what God created me to do. I love the creativity and curiosity children have and enjoy helping them discover, learn, and use their imagination! Every child is unique and "wonderfully made" and I feel blessed to get to work with the wonderful children here and be a part of the KinderSprout team!

Hi, I’m Shannon! I live on an acreage in Camrose County with my husband and our two children, where each day is a reminder of the beauty of God’s creation. We love spending time outdoors, gardening, and enjoying the peaceful rhythms of everyday life. I also have a love for photography and enjoy capturing simple, meaningful moments.
I’ve been working in the Early Childhood Education field since 2010, with experience in preschool, daycare, and out-of-school care. I’m so thankful to be part of the KinderSprout team and to do work that I truly love. I believe every child is wonderfully made with unique, God-given personalities, talents, and abilities, and I feel blessed to help them learn, grow, and shine in their own way.
