Little Paws Outdoor Classroom — Daycare & Preschool in Vancouver, British Columbia

What parents say

• Rash R

  Both my son and daughter have been with Little Paws on and off for over a year, and the experience has been truly exceptional. We've always felt safe leaving our children with the team. They are incredibly loving, caring, peaceful, and gentle—sharing thoughtful insights about life, nature, and the world around us. Our kids have learned so much about observing and connecting with nature. The team has organized many well-thought-out field trips and consistently provides enriching crafts, songs, stories, and special guests—all set in one of the city's most beautiful park. Well done, Maria and the entire Little Paws team! You are so loved and appreciated. Thank you for the amazing work you do. I would highly recommend Little Paws to any family seeking creative and meaningful learning experiences for their children.

  Our experience with Little Paws has been extraordinary! Our 2 year old daughter has shown so much growth, creativity and exploration in the past few months! She gets really excited in the morning knowing she’s going to have so much fun with her class. They not only let the kids play and learn about nature in Stanley Park, but also have structured lessons each day! We really enjoy the daily recap videos of what they did that day as well! Teacher Maria, Ana, Hugo, and the rest of the teachers, are exceptional and create such an amazing environment for the children to grow and learn. Thank you so much, Little Paws!

  We didn't know about Little Paws Outdoor Program outside of the summer offering and were lucky enough to be able to register as we had no options for summer care for our 5 year old who is social and thrives in exploring and learning and making new connections. Our kiddo felt immediately safe and cared for and has enjoyed meeting new caregivers and friends and continuing to learn new ways of relating to other kiddos and adults. Thank you so much for what you do in nurturing kids and allowing them the freedom to explore in a safe way. 💕🐦🪶🌊🦀

  Little Paws has been such a wonderful experience for my daughters! They absolutely love spending time outdoors, and this program has made it even more enjoyable for them. They've been exploring nature, learning new things, and having a blast while getting fresh air. It's been amazing to watch them bond with each other and the environment. Highly recommend for any family looking to get their kids outside and connected with nature!

  This was our son’s first time joining Little Paws Classroom for their summer camp, and we’ve had such a positive experience. He was a bit emotional at drop-offs in the beginning (as expected), but the teachers were so patient and caring, it really helped us feel at ease. Over the weeks, we’ve noticed such a change in him. He’s become more confident in communicating, and he’s definitely more engaged around other kids and adults. It’s been amazing to watch him come out of his shell. We’re really grateful for the team at Little Paws. You can tell they genuinely care about the kids and create a safe, fun environment. Highly recommend!
