Brentwood Preschool — Daycare & Preschool in Burnaby, British Columbia

What parents say

• Mira

  My daughter attends Brentwood Preschool, and as a mother, I feel incredibly grateful to have found such a warm and loving environment for her. Dani and Julie are truly the most caring, kind-hearted, and compassionate teachers I have ever met. They pour their hearts into creating a calm, stress-free space where children can explore, learn, and grow without pressure, competition, or judgment. I genuinely appreciate and love them, and from the bottom of my heart, I wish them all the best this world has to offer.

  I had three children attend Brentwood Preschool. It is a parent-run preschool where each family volunteers their time to support the school and contribute to its continued growth and improvement. The program is designed to build a strong sense of community and connection. Parents meet, collaborate, and work together, forming relationships that extend beyond the classroom. As part of the program, parents participate in classroom duty days, where they are able to be present and actively involved. This is my favorite part. You get to know the other children, see who your child’s friends are, and observe how your own child is interacting and developing in the classroom. You also build relationships with the teachers and take an active role in your child’s early learning. At three years old—when they are still so little—this feels like such an amazing opportunity to be able to be apart of the class. As duty parents, we bring snacks to share with the class. My children were actively involved in choosing what to bring, and they took great pride and joy in sharing their favorite foods with their friends. There is something deeply communal about breaking bread together, and I can’t think of a better way to nurture connection at such a young age.

  My daughter attends Brentwood Preschool, and we are having a wonderful experience. The teachers are incredibly kind and genuinely care for the children, and it shows every day. Our daughter really likes her teachers and is always excited to go. We first tried to get a spot when she was 3, and although it didn't work out then, getting in this year has truly been a blessing. It's also a preschool that many other parents recommended to us, and they always spoke so highly of it and now we understand why.

  Staff are amazing! Our child did not attend daycare so transitioning to pre school was a big step. The teachers understood and were so encouraging. This is a parent volunteer run preschool & non-profit. This means participation is required. You get to have the pleasure of seeing first hand the education and fun your child benefits from. It is truly amazing. It has been a great transition for myself, as a parent, and for our child. Watching them flourish while also providing a helping hand in our community is something we will always cherish.

  The very first time I walked into Brentwood Preschool, I felt an immediate sense of comfort. The teachers were warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming, and I remember thinking, this is a place where my child will be loved. It was clear right away that the teachers truly care — not just about teaching, but about each child as an individual. Four years later, that feeling has never changed. I’ve now had two children graduate from Brentwood Preschool, and my third is currently attending. Watching each of them grow, learn, and gain confidence in this space has been incredibly meaningful for our family. The teachers have always been there for us — answering questions, offering reassurance, and keeping us connected to what our kids are experiencing each day. Knowing what they’re learning and seeing how excited they are to share their classroom experiences has made us feel like true partners in their early education. What makes Brentwood Preschool especially close to my heart is its parent-volunteer model. Volunteering in the classroom allowed me to build friendships with other parents and share special moments with my children that I’ll always cherish. My kids absolutely loved the days I was there — proudly showing me their work, introducing me to their friends, and feeling so proud to have me by their side. Brentwood Preschool has also shown incredible care in accommodating my children’s allergies during snack time. Because of this thoughtfulness, my kids were able to sit with their peers and enjoy the same snack, feeling included and safe — something that means so much as a parent. I will always be grateful to the teachers at Brentwood Preschool. They didn’t just prepare my children for elementary school — they helped shape who they are becoming. The love, patience, and care they’ve shown our family will stay with us long after our preschool years are over.
