Echo Early Learning Center — Daycare & Preschool in Kelowna, British Columbia

What parents say

• Alyssa Bergen

  We are very happy with our experience so far at Echo after starting two months ago. We came from a day home and were looking for a bit more of a pre school style structure and have found that in Echo. Plus, the staff are wonderful. We particularly love teacher Ashley and teacher Robyn. My three year old is starting to learn his letters and practicing writing his name, but without question mine and my sons favourite part of their schedule is that they are outside to play twice a day, everyday. Very pleased!

  My son attended for a few weeks, off and on. We were constantly getting phone calls of bad behavior the facility could not control or handle. My son has since been to 2 facilities. The second facilitator had mentioned one bad day in the first week and none after. She was pregnant and 2 months later I had to relocate my son again. My son's new caregivers at the second location have given my son a beautiful report and say that he is a sweet boy and always listens. I understand Echo is a small facility but I believe they should take more time to adjust to new and young people who are just starting to learn, listen, play and team together. My son is 3 and just started his journey.

  Our son has been in care at Echo for a year and a half and is so happy there! Our past experience with a daycare was great but we switched to Echo because of the balanced approach to learning and play time. At this age we didn’t want to push the academic aspect too hard so we appreciate the approach at Echo - it’s a great combination of learning and fun. Our son has learned his letters and can write a lot of words and will be well prepared for kindergarten without having sacrificed the joys of play! I also really enjoy how well managed Echo is. Kelly and the teachers are professional and experienced with children and have been able to address any of the concerns I bring to them in a way that really works for me.

  We've had both our children attend Echo over the last 4 years. The teachers have been amazing: kind and professional. The manager Kelly is very organized and communicates well. And the Belgo location is excellent - they've got an excellent outdoor space. Can't recommend Echo enough : )

  My son has been going to ECHO for about 2 years now and he loves it! I have watched him progress so much since he has been going there with his letters, numbers, writing skills, social skills, organization, communication and listening skills. They pre prep him for k/grade school so I have no concerns that he will adjust great with starting kindergarten. All the teachers/ staff are very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They also have great indoor and outdoor play areas.
