We made an appointment with Shaun the director for a tour with our son today. Arrived and rang the…read morebell and no one was there. We waiting for fifteen mins before we left very disappointed. While we were there, we called and mailbox is not assign and we email Shaun also. I guess the first RED flag was it took him around a week to even get back to us for this appointment. Definitely not bring my kid here. I'll make sure this is posted everywhere online for other parents to see. Place was not very secure too, someone could have easily came into the premises and took all the toys away.

We've looked at about 14 centres at this point. In that pool, I would say there was 1 5 star, 3 4…read morestar, and the rest were 1-2. Needless to say, they all cost an arm and a leg. This is the 5 star. From the moment we walked in the door, we were hit with a sense of both home and calm. The environment was all about calm, neutral colors, child lead art, plants, animals, and natural materials like wood, branches, leaves, and pinecones. When we walked past the kitchen, it smelled like fresh baking (the children were cooking with one of the teachers). On the rug in the adjacent area, an instructor was leading a group of children in a yoga class. It was almost comically amazing. We were lead through to the main activity room and talked a bit about the philosophy of the centre, where we learned that they follow a 'emergent' curriculum, which is apparently about learning the children's interests and building the curriculum to suit. Naturally. Though I wasn't surprised, I was still very disappointed to learn there are more than 100 families ahead of us on the waitlist. Still, we may get in depending on the circumstances. Here's hoping!

They have the best playground from the lower mainland. My son absolutely loves going to the daycare…read moreeveryday. He is attending since he was 11 months! They have fun, but also teach discipline and lots of other new things. They decorate the center with a new theme every month and do a really great job!

They serve breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack what is peace of mind for parents! I highly recommend Jellybean! :)

My daughter has been going to the Surrey Professional Center location since she was three. She's…read morestill going there on her school Pro-D days now. I think it's the best daycare in our area. I literally visited all daycares in the area. They have flexible hours, safe environment, not to mention the fantastic menu that I sometimes enjoy more than my daughter! The center is always bright and clean, and teachers are all genuinely happy there. Every teacher knows my daughter, and she knows every teacher. My daughter has always enjoyed going to Kids & Co. and she learned a lot from teachers and their programs. We also enjoyed the company's flexible transfer/drop off option. It allowed us to find a safe environment for our daughter when we travelled to Montreal. I would agree price is a bit on the high side, but if that's not an issue, this is really the place to send your children. Special thanks to teachers Sukhi and Raj!"

Very very expensive. Quoted almost $1900 full time including the child reduction fee. I understand…read morecentres are more expensive and provide meals but a similar centres to Kids & Co charges around $1500 -$1700 for the same service. Even for a family to get the maximum subsidy of $1250, this is still steep. I'd only look into this daycare if you a multi- millionaire!

I highly recommend Kids and Company here in Langley. The location is very convenient, right on…read more200th and there are many designated parking stalls for ease of pick up/drop off. They have great hours (6:30am - 6:00pm I believe) and they only close for statutory holidays. The facility is brand new, clean and spacious. The teachers are excellent, and there is very little turn over in staff. K&C provides healthy lunches and snacks as well as a take home snack at the door. They have several dates nights during the year as well as a weekend shopping day so parents can do some holiday shopping sans kids! They also have a nice and large outdoor space which is sectioned off for the different age groups. My daughter was an infant when she first started, and within weeks she had already learned some sign language. She continues to learn and develop important things like manners, communication and sharing which I attribute greatly to her care from the staff at K&C. We love it here, and we couldn't imagine sending our child anywhere else.

I love Betty's daycare! My son has been going there for two years and I just love it. (My daughter…read morerecently graduated to kindergarten and I loved it for her too). Her structured and organized environment has given him room to grow, learn independence and make friends. It's so great that her daycare is zero tv time but the kids don't miss it! She has circle time, free play and regularly takes them out - to the park, strong start program, gym and even the library. Her huge landscaped backyard is amazing in the summer, with shaded areas to play, and the kids even learn gardening watching her plants grow. I was referred to Betty by a close friend who, like my husband and I do now, came to rely on her as a partner in the upbringing of our children. We talk about my son's day and have worked through some major milestones together - i.e. potty training! - by making sure we were both on the same page in terms of timing, support, etc. She taught my daughter and now my son, independence and leadership, in particular by asking them to set an example for the younger children. Her communication at the end of the day is great, again to stay on the same page, and she also keeps a log book of the day's events. She keeps her yard and the daycare incredibly clean. I could go on, but most meaningful to me is that our kids have grown to love her and we get to watch them thrive in a supportive, healthy, clean, and safe environment. I am so grateful that we have her!

The Best School with Best Care = Fraser Montessori combines and defines professionalism, quality,…read morereliability, and responsiveness that creates a bright and enriching environment for the children and parents. I am so grateful for the teachers' and owner, Ms. Edith, 's hard work at this school, especially throughout the pandemic when I had so many worries about safety. They always try their best to attend to the children's needs by providing a well-designed learning environment. My son would often come home with fun stories, arts, and practice sheets that he has gained so many social and academic skills. The teachers go above and beyond; I love the updates and photos they send in the app. Also, I love their outside playground, partly covered, so that kids can play outside even when it heavily rains without soaking in the water. My son has experienced significant advancements in his manners at home and his continued growth. Ms. Edith is a great communicator, an experienced educator, an excellent source for the parents. I am so, so grateful for Fraser Montessori. If you're looking for a daycare with great people and the best care, this is an excellent place for you and your family to check out.

I have two children that attend the 5th avenue location in New Westminster, a daughter in before…read moreand after school care and a son in the preschool/daycare program. They have both been attending since August 2015. They both like it there. My daughter always has good things to say about the owner, Miss Edith. She has the opportunity to work on art projects after school, which she loves. My son (who has just turned 4 years old) has been learning to read and write the alphabet and can now write his name. He has also been able to develop his artistic skills. Miss Edith is almost always available to talk to if I have any concerns or questions about the progress of my children's learning. The classrooms are very clean and well organized. There are many stimulating activities for the kids to engage in depending on their interests and level of learning. The kids have show and tell every Friday, which my son loves. He has really developed socially over the last 6 months as well. The centre is open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm which works perfectly for my schedule as I work on Vancouver, which gives me plenty of time to get to work after drop-off and to get back after work even if there is a traffic jam.

Carmina was the childcare provider to both our children starting from the age of 1, from 2004 to…read more2009. Leaving our children to be cared by someone else in order for me to go back to work was not an easy decision. We love that Carmina runs her home daycare like a preschool, and that she tries to match the children's personalities that she enrolls in her program. Knowing that our children were in the safe and loving arms of Carmina enables us to be at east during ouir work day. Carmina is a wealth of information regarding children. She is very approachable and encouraging. She helped us with all our concerns, as a new parents, and then as a parents raising 2 children very close in age. Our chilren love her and trust her. Although they no longer attend her daycare, we still visit. She was not only our childcare provider, but is a trusted friend and mentor.

When I called Bluebird Childcare, my impression of the woman who runs it wasn't very reassuring,…read moreshe seemed very abrupt on the phone. When we went, I liked how bright and cheery it was and how many activities and toys there were inside and out. The woman was thorough when answering my questions which I appreciated. After giving it some thought we decided to go with her. She told us our spot was secure so we waited a couple days before giving her the cheque since our son was sick. The day after we spoke to her, she gave our spot away because she assumed two families would be taking their children out and it turned out there was only one. She told me there was a possibility there could still be an opening, and to check back, I decided to wait a couple months then asked to see if she knew whether she would have that opening, she told me she would let me know in March, and she never did. I was really not impressed with the way she ran things, and would definitely not recommend that daycare to anyone after the experience I had. That is no way to run a business.
