Beginners Kollege Child care centre LTD - Pitt Meadows, BC

TLDR: your child's spot in the next class is not guaranteed as they age up. Keep a back-up daycare in place if you can. The owner will not warn you in advance if their care is coming to an end leaving you scrambling.

REVIEW:

I had a much longer review written but realized the specific details didn't matter and would likely only bore.

This review truly pains me to write because I loved this daycare from the beginning. All of the teachers are amazing and wonderful and loving. Unfortunately, the owner's lack of organization has lead to some extremely upset parents.

I was given 5 weeks notice that my daughter's care would end when she turned 3 as there was no room for her in the 3-5 class. I have heard from multiple other families (at least 4) that they are also being kicked out due to the owner 's inability to plan into the future.

In addition to this, I have heard from these other families that the owner has been discussing my personal details with them at drop-off and pick-up. I had to ask the owner 3 separate times via text and email to stop discussing me with them before I stopped getting word that my name was coming up in conversation.

Thankfully, we were able to find 5 days a week elsewhere closer to home for my daughter but I'm distraught over my daughter losing such a supportive and loving community. Selfishly, I look forward to dealing with an appropriately communicative and well-organized daycare.

This is an amazing daycare. The staff are all very kind and supportive of the children. My son loved all the teachers and always had a smile coming and going every day. I can’t say enough good things and highly recommend Beginners Kollege.

this daycare has been amazing for my 2 kids. They have been there 2 years now and I can only say great things about Beginners Kollege. They have taught my boys SO much. Like a previous poster said, its like a preschool. My son is definitely ready for kindergarten because of this place. All the teachers are amazing! I am so glad I found this daycare for my boys!

The staff here were nothing short of PHENOMENAL when I had my daughter enrolled. It was a sad day when she aged out to head off to Kindergarten! I cannot recommend this talented group of women for child care enough. Each day was a well thought out creative and educational packed day with learning, crafts, activities and fun all held together with some very patient and compassionate guidance from the teachers. You ladies are worth your weight in gold!

My daughter has been going to this daycare for over two years now, and is heading off to kindergarten this September! I can confidently say Miss Sherry has prepared her for kindergarten by the amazing work she does at this school! I am so thankful to have found such an amazing daycare which is more like a pre school and will definitely be bringing my future children here! My daughter has learned so much being here. At four years old she can count to 100, knows all her days of the week & months, her alphabet, and can write letters and is almost writing her name and many more! I can honestly say this school has had a huge positive impact on my daughters learning ability and who she is today. She has made some amazing friends here. This school and Miss Sherry will always be apart of our lives! Thank you!

This Child Care Facility is excellent for development and growth. The early childhood program that they offer is very hands on and based on individuals needs. Beginners Kollege is very reliable and trusted as they helped me through this journey of parenthood.
