I highly recommend Cefa Willowbrook! I just moved here from Calgary and decided to enrol my son at…read morethis location despite all the negativity surrounding the Cefa name. Mainly because I know the Cefa locations are franchises and this one has gotten best of the best for 5 years. Anyways, I cannot believe how much my 2 and a half have grown and learnt in a week and a half. They teachers are very passionate and caring and they also serve very healthy food with big portions. Lol, I was creeping up on them. Definitely check it out if you are looking for care for your children.

Great location already but the new owners are fantastic. Really care about the place. This is our…read morelast year (moving to grade school) but wish they had been there the whole time. 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.

The exterior of the building is a little tired/dated but you should not let this put you off - it's the magic inside that counts. I would (and do) unequivocally recommend Little Semlin Daycare to any parent.

The teachers all care about the kids and have many years of experience in child minding. They put a lot of effort into developing interesting activities for them on a daily basis and take them outside to the nearby parks every single day. My favorite is the Christmas concert they put on for the parents every year. I teared up because it was so sweet and thoughtful. I love, love, love it here and will be sending my youngest there as well when she is old enough.

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! :)

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!

A fabulous spot to bring a small friend - but get there early, before they are full for the day!…read moreThey have a morning session of free play for ages 0-6. This place really gets it right - it's organized and well-thought-out both in the physical layout and the helpful policies which promote a safe and happy place for children of a wide variety of ages to play together. There is an excellent outdoor play area, with tons of play options (play house, swings, covered sandbox, climbing structure, water play in summer, etc). The downstairs of the house has been converted into a play room, with numerous activity centres (sand table, art, drawing, painting, train table, books, play house, and oodles of toys). Adults stay with the child(ren) in their care, and there are also staff stationed in the play room to offer assistance, advice and just plain fun conversations. The upstairs of the house has a kitchen for snacktime (they provide coffee, tea and pastries for parents & caregivers by donation), a toy exchange, a book lending library, and offices. They also have information nights and other events. The annual membership is very reasonable at $25, and each drop in costs $2. A total bargain for the money!
