Our Founder

A Vision Born from
a Mother's Heart

i.HHWWA Academy was founded by a mother who saw a gap in Edmonton's enrichment landscape — programs that nurtured not just academic ability, but the whole child: their confidence, their cultural identity, their creativity, and their sense of self-worth.

The name says it all: I Am Happy, Healthy, Wealthy & Wise. These are not just words — they are daily affirmations we want every child to carry with them for life. Wealthy in knowledge. Wise in character. Happy in who they are.

What began as a dream to serve Edmonton's diverse families has grown into a structured enrichment academy offering multilingual programming, fashion and creative arts, personality development, and summer camp experiences — all designed to meet children where they are and help them become who they are meant to be.

Child-Centred Always

Every decision — from curriculum design to room layout — starts with one question: what is best for the child?

Celebrating Every Culture

Edmonton is one of Canada's most diverse cities. Our programming honours that — every language, every heritage, every background.

Transparent & Accountable

We operate openly with families and regulators. Our licensing journey is shared honestly — no surprises, no hidden details.

Our Mission

To provide Edmonton's children with a nurturing, enriching environment where they develop confidence, creativity, cultural pride, and a lifelong love of learning — through programs that honour the whole child and partner deeply with families.

Our Vision

A generation of Edmonton children who grow up knowing they are happy, healthy, wealthy in knowledge, and wise in character — children who carry those affirmations into every stage of their lives and lift their communities with them.

Health & Wellness

Whole-Child Wellness is Our Foundation

Every program we offer is built on the belief that a child's wellbeing — physical, emotional, social, and cultural — is inseparable from their ability to learn and thrive.

Whole-Child Wellness

We address physical, emotional, social, and cognitive health as one — not in silos. Every program element is designed to nourish the whole child.

Mindfulness & Emotional Intelligence

Each session opens with a mindfulness circle. Children learn to name emotions, regulate responses, and build resilience from an early age.

Cultural & Linguistic Wellness

Belonging matters. Our multilingual programming and cultural celebrations help every child feel seen, valued, and proud of their heritage.

Community & Family Partnership

We work alongside families, not apart from them. Regular communication, family showcases, and open-door policies keep parents informed and involved.

Nutrition Awareness

We promote healthy eating habits and accommodate all dietary needs and allergies. Nutrition education is woven into our wellness programming.

Confidence & Self-Worth

Through personality development, fashion expression, and language learning, every child builds a strong, positive sense of who they are.
