Holistic Roots Childcare Centre — Daycare & Preschool in Langley, British Columbia

What parents say

• Jessie Jeffers

  I have had two children that have attended this daycare. The teachers are incredible. My children have learned so much in what feels like a small span of time. Ms.Shannon and Ms.Kim are especially attentive, caring, and in tune with the children’s needs. The daycare has an incredible format where they are always creating art, doing yoga, learning about science, exploring French, and spending time outside. In the summers the older classroom tends to a community garden where parents benefit from the things the children grow. Lunches are provided and the menu is always provided for the full month. I would highly recommend this daycare.

• Christy Odabasigil

  My two children attended this daycare over 8 years. I was always impressed with the professionalism of the staff, who went above and beyond. The staff have been there for years, so expect incredible consistency with your children. The hot lunch is such a bonus! Both of my children exited this program Kindergarten ready, with plenty of exposure to sensory play, gardening, beginning academics and experience with safe animals. I would recommend over and over again.

• Caitlin Ponsford

  We had 2 children attend over the span of 6 years. We were so impressed with the love the teachers had for our kids. They never once came home with a negative experience of the care they received. The teachers really cared for our kids’ wellbeing. We felt included in their day via the daycare app and the report at pick up. They played all day with friends, and did so many neat activities, including always bringing home the most thoughtful and sweet gifts for us at holiday times. Our children both gained a lot of confidence and were very well prepared for the learning environment of kindergarten after attending this daycare. Would very highly recommend to anyone wanting a daycare that truly cares and takes pride in their work.

  This small childcare centre is very affordable and my child enjoyed going there for two years. “You get what you pay for” so this facility isn’t for everyone but still a good option if you aren’t too picky. Pros: lunches are included in tuition, some of the lowest tuition fees around Langley, teachers are experienced and able to handle various personalities, has an app that provides updates and photos through the day, fun Christmas concert, can help with potty training. Cons: communication, monthly program emails are almost always late or don’t come at all so you don’t know what your child is learning or eating that month, sometimes calendar isn’t followed, you tell your child about a fun activity that will happen but they come home upset saying it never happened, the outside play space is dirty and is overdue for new toys, kids often come home dirty in the summer from muddy water play, tenants above can be smoking at any time, forcing children to nap even if parents ask not to, recent Fraser health inspection reports show presence of rodent activity but this was never communicated to parents.

  My two children have been here for over six years combined. Although the principal isn’t always on-site, it has never affected my communication with the teachers — they are all very patient with every child. The tuition is truly lower compared to other daycares, and most importantly, it includes lunch and afternoon snacks, which is a huge help for working moms! Both of my children love it here.
