St Alban's Day Care Centre — Daycare & Preschool in Burnaby, British Columbia

What parents say

• Tetiana K.

  This is the best daycare my kids ever attended. My son has been in this daycare for almost half a year and I can say with confidence that the educators are amazing! They are always friendly and they are very attentive to children and their needs - they will never leave your child crying disappointed, they can always find the right type of behavior to cheer them up. What I also like is that the facility itself is so good - they have big windows which provide a lot of daylight, plenty of learning materials and toys. The kids there are never bored - they have a daily schedule with different types of activities so that they could play, learn and develop their social skills. Besides, they provide 2 healthy snacks and a hot lunch which is also very convenient to me as I know that my child receives good and fresh food every day and I don't have to prepare all those lunchboxes myself. The fact that they go out every day in any weather only adds to the positive impact of this daycare to my child. So I am very satisfied with St. Albans daycare and would undoubtedly recommend it to anyone. :)

  When my son first came to this daycare, he liked it very much. All the teachers there are kind, devoted and patient. They look after the kids with love and passion. After a few weeks in St Alban's Daycare, when my son came home everyday, he could't wait to tell us how happy his day was at daycare and he shared with us the songs taught there. Even now he keeps telling us his happy time at daycare with the teachers and the friends. He will go to Kindergarten soon and I will send my daughter to this loving daycare, too.

  Both my children have attended St. Alban's daycare. Both my children started eating vegetables after the amazing lunch and snacks served here! While that might be important to me, more importantly, my children have learned how to play with children who have different developmental needs. This daycare is run by people who believe and put into practice the values of kindness, acceptance, and the power of play. I wish they had an after-school program because we don't want to leave!

  I am so grateful that I found this daycare. This is one of the few daycares that accept children with autism. It's been 5months and my son loves going to St. Alban's day care. He always arrives at the daycare happy, it shows how much he loves this place. I feel safe to leave him there. The teachers are very kind, friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this daycare and thanks to all the teachers for taking care of my son.

  All four of our kids have gone to St. Albans over the past 15 years. Our oldest is now 20, and our youngest just finished after three years and has just started kindergarten. It’s hard to describe how grateful we are for this daycare. It’s truly been a constant in our lives. We’ve never had a single issue in all that time. The teachers are so warm, experienced, and clearly love what they do. Our kids always felt safe, happy, and excited to go each day. It’s been such a loving and joyful place for them to grow. One small but much-appreciated bonus: they feed the kids really well! Healthy, delicious meals and snacks every day. I never had to worry about packing a lunch or finding that one missing snack container at 7 a.m. before work! Our youngest, now 5, has settled beautifully into kindergarten, and a big part of that is thanks to her time at St. Albans. She has nothing but good memories, and so do we. Thank you to all the amazing teachers and staff. You’ve given each of our children such a strong and positive foundation. St. Albans will always be a special part of our family’s story.
