B&D Montessori has been the most beneficial decisions to our daughters upbringing. The values, lessons, and skills learned during her time there (age 3-5) have made our little girl more confident in her practical skills as well as being advanced in the beginning stages of her primary learning.
The teachers and facility are top notch, clean, professional and always looking out for the best interest of the children.
I highly recommend B&D Montessori Learning Academy Read more

I had two children attend Westwood over a 6 year period and we were very happy with our time there. The staff were very friendly and welcoming with our children and over the years they learned so much. When my children graduated from the Preschool Daycare class they got a scrapbook of all their work and a report card so we could see everything they accomplished while in school. My family and I had a great experience and have recommended Westwood to many of our friends and Family members.Read more

The confirmation is in: the stork will be flying overhead in a few months. Quick! It’s time to get looking for childcare services. That’s no joke; your return to work will come fast enough, and daycare waiting lists are long in Maple Ridge BC.
Step one: Listen Word of mouth is always a good starting point. If you have friends who already have children in childcare services, ask them how they found their babysitter or daycare centre. Get several points of view so you can make a list of all the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of child care provider.
Step two: Browse the Internet and newspapers A search on your provincial government’s family services website may turn up a list of regulated childcare services in Maple Ridge BC. You can also find information on their website about financial assistance for child care. Whether regulated or not, home daycares sometimes advertise in newspapers or on community websites providing information on available space.
Step three: Visit See if it’s possible to visit the daycares or home child care facilities you’re considering. Ask lots of questions and gather information about their policies on the following things:
Staff training
Emergency care plans
Hygiene and cleanliness
Food and allergies

Step four: Register Once you’ve made the rounds of the childcare services available in Maple Ridge BC, it’s time to pick the ones you like best and put your name on their waiting lists. Depending on the situation in your area, it may be a good idea to put your name on several lists. In the meantime, make the most of your pregnancy to get ready and be sure to enjoy every precious minute at home with your baby.
