But I am outraged because they continue to refuse my child water at meals. WATER - a basic human need. Children are forced to drink milk only or wait until after meal time for water; hydration-deprived into submission. Our doctor told our son he should try to eliminate milk from his diet because of some skin issues she noted. He was very excited to follow the doctor's advice and stopped drinking milk at home right away, telling us very firmly when we tried to give him some that the doctor said he shouldn't. We were very proud of him taking an active, informed role in his own health, and offer him calcium-fortified juice and vitamin supplements to compensate. Then he would come home crying and dehydrated (drinking several big glasses of water within the first hour) because the caregivers here were literally refusing to let him decline milk! I talked to the administration and they revealed I could fill out a document requesting they give my child water at mealtimes - which I did, but apparently it was not communicated to the staff because they continued to force milk on my son, who then gave up and told me sadly that he can't have water, only milk because the teachers say so. He is afraid to ask for water anymore - problem solved from their side because the child's will to follow his doctor's advice and control his diet has been broken. They also force our son (who we allow to be vegetarian because he thinks meat is disgusting) to sit in front of plates of roadkill through entire meals until the other kids are done. They refuse to allow us to send any form of food from home as an alternative so he eats the little portions of fruit and crackers and comes home starving and emotionally unbalanced because he is malnourished & dehydrated. We feed him some veggies, nuts, tofu and a ton of water, and he perks right up and is our happy, calm son again. They say "sorry, it's because we are part of the school lunch program" but there is no SANE reason to refuse a small child's request for water. EVER. Not even animals are subjected to such deprivation. Even in public schools children have a choice about what they put in their body. Not at Kids World though. They insist that every child participate in milk and meat at every meal or go hungry/thirsty... so the owners can get all that wonderful subsidy $$$. They deprive our son of essential hydration and nutrition for their own profit. So great school, but they should disclose that they don't just "provide" snacks and meals for your children, they attempt to starve them into accepting foods they don't want and refuse them water at meal times even counter to your pediatrician's recommendations. NONE of this mandatory food-fascism was disclosed upon enrollment, so we feel a little bit duped and very unhappy about the situation. We are now sadly looking at alternatives.

I was given an old enrollment packet with old tuition, for the new year. The new monthly tuition for two kids for 2019/2020 increased to an additional 160+/month. I wasn't told about this change until after I paid fees and submitted 2019/2020 paperwork. What a terrible experience with a business owner in over her head. This act is fraudulent and I was never notified email or otherwise after I paid the fees. I was only notified when I asked. I wouldn't recommend Gabriel's art kids, and I will be sure to tell every parent I know about this experience

Regular updates on our phones and email, communication on events or disruptions. These owners have started sending pictures of each kid doing an activity to their parents every day's. They email the menu for the week to all the parents. Besides the new owners being great, the place was already stellar. The meals are made on-site by a chef. No chef-boy-r-dee garbage from a can like other places. The food is cooked from scratch and made fresh daily. The kids get great meals everyday. They have the chef come by each classroom once a week and the kids make their own foods as well. This is the meal plan for this Monday as an example Morning snack : rise and shine veggie hash, served with milk and fresh fruit Lunch : beef (or tofu) and broccoli stir fry, served over wild rice Afternoon snack : carrot banana flax muffins, served with veggies and dip The location is right on the highway exit so you can drop off and get directly onto to the highway. Early dropoff @ 7am pickup @5pm no extra charge. They occasionally have date nights so parents can drop off their kids and enjoy a night together (i believe they charge 10 dollars for the evening which is very reasonable) The curriculum is amazing, very focused on the kids learning new things and having a wonder to the process. The teachers all take the time to focus on your child. Teachers know your kid even if they aren't in that teachers class. Learning is very hands on. There is an emphasis on physical activity and the playground is well equipped. We were worried initially but our kid,loved it there and has been there since 1 year old till 4 years old. All the kids are very well mannered and you can see that they are taught to be gracious to each other. Great place, the cost is a bit higher but in line with what you get in return. Teachers that are engaged with your child, fresh nutritious meals, extended hours, daily updates on your phone, web cam to peek I'm on your child in the day, amazing facility, playground and a vested interest in your child's well being. Love this place, hope the rest of my kids schools are even half as good.

Multiple attempts were made to rectify the situation by me but instead Alisha decided to kick my child out of the school with 3 months left in the school year. Alisha admitted that my daughter's privacy was not maintained as per her care plan and my agreement with her on multiple occasions. Her treatment of a child with special needs is disgusting and I do not recommend this preschool to anyone especially anyone with a child with special needs. I have begun and will continue to pursue this matter as a health violation, human rights violation, discrimination, and civil matter. UPDATE: Fraser Health Authority has confirmed an investigation took place and that there WERE violations in regards to this matter.
