Predatory Behaviour! This organization completely operates in bad faith. They prey on desperate families looking to get their child in daycare so that they can work to live in Vancouver. Not only do they happily take the $100 waitlist fee from parents, but they also spend thousands of dollars on ads on Instagram and Facebook to solicit more applicants to add their names on the waitlist. They do this all while knowing that there is little to no chance that families will get their children into their program. I added my child to their waitlist when he was 1.5 years old and I realize now he will not get in before he enters kindergarten next year. Thank goodness the BC government banned waitlist fees so that money hungry companies like CEFA can no longer make money this way. They really should be required to give back money to families who paid this fee when they do not get in within a suitable timeframe.

My daughter's preschool CEFA - Commerical Drive has been an absolute dream. The staff truly love and care for the children, creating a warm and nurturing environment where my daughter has blossomed. The principal (Paras) goes above and beyond to be flexible and accommodating, making every parent feel heard and valued. The curriculum is outstanding, providing a rich and engaging learning experience that sets the foundation for future success. This preschool is truly an asset to our community, and I couldn't recommend it more highly! Thank you CEFA for your dedication and hard work.

Our son has been in their JK program for the last year and the experience has been amazing. We transferred from more of a play based child care to this CEFA a little over a year ago and we have seen a significant improvement in his social skills, education, manners, and overall confidence. All of the teachers have been amazing to deal with.
