Inspection summary
Alpine Montessori Children's Centre - Daycare has been inspected 15 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 2, 2023. The most recent inspection, on June 15, 2026, found no infractions.
7 of 15 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 8 inspections with 18 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pests and Protecting food from contamination.
The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food, supplies and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded 6 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on May 20, 2026. For example:
Are proper measures being taken to ensure that vermin do not enter or exist in the facility (Non-Critical)?
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 31, 2025. For example:
Are clients at this facility being protected from hazards (Critical)?
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.
Recorded 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on April 8, 2026. For example:
Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Non-Critical)?
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on April 8, 2026. For example:
Are washrooms / bathing facilities properly constructed, maintained and supplied (Non-Critical)?
Other findingsLower risk
Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
Recorded once on October 30, 2025. For example:
Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this child care facility (Critical)?
