When families in Edmonton’s Northtown area begin their search for premium childcare, the expectations are exceptionally high.
Parents want more than just a supervised space; they look for an environment where early childhood development is prioritized, curiosity is nurtured, and children return home happy at the end of their busy days.
This pursuit of uncompromising quality is exactly what is drawing local parents to Northtown Grand Daycare, located at Suite 104, 9450 137 Ave NW, right in the heart of the community it serves. Over the past several months, parent feedback has highlighted a distinct shift in how neighborhood parents view early childhood education.

Northtown Grand Daycare opened its doors as a brand-new facility, yet it has quickly built a reputation that most centers take years to earn. The Google reviews highlight the exceptional level of care provided daily:

What Makes It Unique? The NTC Educational Framework
The word “premium” is frequently tossed around in early childhood education marketing. At Northtown Grand Daycare, it translates to a concrete commitment: science-backed brain development through the internationally recognized NTC System.
Developed by Ranko Rajović, PhD, a prominent neuroscientist, founder of Mensa Serbia, and recipient of the Mensa International Intellectual Benefit to Society Award, the NTC system is one of the most rigorously researched early childhood educational frameworks available today. It has been validated through Erasmus+ programs, peer-reviewed research, and over 20 academic dissertations.
At its core, this approach targets the most critical window in a child’s life for building neural connections. By age seven, the foundation of cognitive capacity is largely established. What happens during these formative early childhood years, the purposeful movement, coordinated play, and structured problem-solving that skilled educators guide each day – shapes memory, concentration, logical thinking, and emotional confidence for life.
The Three Phases of NTC Development:
Stimulating Neural Connections: Focused on kinesiological activities, balance exercises, fine motor development, and coordination play. Educators work one-on-one and in small groups to ensure every child progresses at the right pace.
Developing Thought Processes: Encouraging abstraction, visualization, classification, and association activities. This is a pivotal time for building the mental flexibility children carry into school and beyond.
Building Functional Thinking: Utilizing puzzles, “mysterious stories,” and open-ended reasoning challenges. Educators design each session to maximize engagement and age-appropriate stretch.
“The NTC program truly supports children’s physical and psychological development. The management and team are professional, caring, and attentive to every detail.” – Magdalena Todorovic
An Environment Designed for Growth, Not Just Supervision
Walk into most daycares in Edmonton and you’ll find a standard, functional space. Walk into Northtown Grand Daycare and you will discover a bright, intentionally crafted environment, a site designed from the ground up to inspire early childhood curiosity and learning.
The facility features multiple themed classrooms where color selection, room layout, acoustics, and materials are all chosen to support focus, calm, and age-appropriate stimulation. There’s even custom-designed flooring, created in collaboration with an expert design team, that children interact with every single day.
Contractor Fred Richardson, who completed the flooring work, described it as: “Striking and fun for the kids to walk on every day.”
Beautiful Spaces Inside and Out
Themed Classrooms: A massive facility layout packed with distinct environments. As parent Sara Torbica noted: “This is the biggest daycare center that I have ever seen! So many classrooms, all with different themes.”
A Joyful Atmosphere: The design sparks pure wonder and is worth every moment spent exploring. Regular visitor Marina Divjak captured the feeling perfectly: “This daycare makes me wish I was a child again. What a heaven for kids.”
All-Weather Outdoor Patio: A large outdoor space supports active play year-round – essential for Alberta children and integral to the NTC methodology, which emphasizes fresh air and movement as non-negotiable parts of healthy early childhood development.
Nutrition That Powers Developing Brains
Top-tier care extends far beyond education and environment. At Northtown Grand Daycare, nutrition is treated as a core pillar of early childhood health rather than an afterthought.
The center offers an optional meal program featuring freshly prepared, nutrient-dense menus cooked by an in-house chef. Mealtimes are specifically planned to sustain energy, sharp focus, and healthy growth. For parents who prefer to send food from home, that option is equally welcome, there is no pressure either way. Either choice is a good choice, and educators ensure every child’s mealtime is a positive, calm experience.
The Staff: Kind, Competent, and Genuinely Invested
If state-of-the-art facilities and a scientific framework are the foundation, the educators are the heartbeat. The teaching team’s dedication shines through in every testimonial, and it is evident from the very first time you visit the site.
Patience & Competence: “Really kind, patient, and competent, you can tell they genuinely care about the kids.” – Stephane Popov
Experience: Tour attendee Ilijana Musulin highlighted the “excellent experienced staff” alongside the exceptional physical environment.
A Welcoming Environment: “Always smiling and welcoming staff. Children will love this amazing place.” – Fr. Njegos Perkovic
