Daycare

Our daycare program offers full-time care for children between 2.5 and 5 years of age. The daycare class is run from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Parents have the flexibility to drop off their children between 7:00 and 9:00 with the option to eat breakfast prior to coming to class, or joining their classmates for breakfast in the program.

During the morning, the program is similar to the Preschool class with the full Montessori curriculum and additional extracurricular activities such as French, Music, Geography, Circle Time and Science. In the afternoon, children have the ability to participate in free play activities.

In this class, the children go outside twice per day (once in the morning and once after nap time) where they can participate in a variety of outdoor activities in our beautiful and spacious playground.

Out-of-School

Our before- and after-school care program offers classes to support learning and achieve better grades for children between 5 and 12 years of age.

From time-to-time and on Professional Development days, we provide field trips for the Out-of-school care children to various locations such as Science World, Burnaby Village Museum, Funky Monkey Fun Park, etc.

We offer out-of-school programs to elementary school students attending John Knox Christian School in Burnaby and to children from Qayqayt Elementary and Lord Kelvin Elementary schools at our Royal Ave location in New Westminster.
