Lisa has created an absolutely incredible outdoor school program. Her passion, leadership, and dedication are evident in everything she does. The environment she’s built is thoughtful, creative, and clearly rooted in a deep care for children and their learning experience. It’s rare to see a program run with this level of heart and intention. Truly impressive work and highly recommended.

Today is my son's last day after 3 years at Common Digs. There aren’t enough words to describe how much we have appreciated his time there. It has completely changed the way we parent and the way we prioritize our time as a family. We are leaving today with a 6 year old who looks at an empty field and sees a full day of entertainment - from learning how to catch bugs with his bare hands, to turning a fallen tree into a pirate ship, to seeing a creek as a research station full of life and lessons. He is never bored if he is outside. The team at Common Digs has had such a profound impact on him and your names will be spoken with such high regard in our household for years…

My son participated in the preschool program at Rosedale Community centre for the past school year. He has become a creative, curious, independent explorer and player. If outdoors and play-based learning is important for you - this is the best preschool program! The projects the teachers lead are mindful, fun, and so creative. For parents starting the preschool program, my advice is to be patient at the beginning. Once the kids get to know each other and get in the groove of child-led play, the program really takes off. My other son has participated in the summer programs, and has loved them too. Highly highly recommend Common Digs.

Both of my girls went to Common Digs for preschool and Nature Kindergarten. It was an amazing experience for all of us. The exploration, learning to help each other, the education, and the activity level were all phenomenal.
Now that both girls are in elementary, I hear nothing but amazing things from their teachers about how Nature Kindergarten helped to shape them as students.
Highly recommend if you can.Karen G.June 2023
I’m mostly just here to offset the one negative review below. My 2 yo has been attending the toddler program in Okotoks and I have nothing but glowing things to say. Most importantly, the educators truly educate! These children are not too young for serious learning, and well-informed practices are so impressive. Unlike other childcare, this is not a place where they will just keep your child alive until you get back. The growth and learning in these tiny people is real.
