Kiddie Academy of Vancouver-Fishers Landing

"Pros: Very pretty school, Miss Chelsea was a gem. There was another teacher who my son really liked as well in Hoods, the app is convenient, the cameras are nice. Cons: Large class sizes, Not inclusive to neurodivergent kids, no resources for early education interventions. This is a program designed for “easy” kids and does not offer a well rounded education. I was called every day for behaviors which taught my son that if he showed big behaviors, mommy would come get him. We felt like our son was a burden on their school & had been directed towards other programs. We did find a learning center that he started and was immediately back in undies and using the potty. Immediately saw him more regulated. The school found outside resources for my son that come to the school. He has not been physical with any teachers or kids at this school. This tells me that my son did not feel valued or cared for in this environment. I do want to add that I waited to post this until I saw how my son would behave at a new center. He started in December and this is my review after seeing the differences between both daycares."

"I've had a positive experience with the academy from day one. From their kind and prepared teachers/staff, professional administration, and diversified classrooms, I'd recommend KA to any parent looking to find childcare or preschool for their little ones. My child looks forward to attending everyday speaking of excitement to classroom learnings and friends they have made. Many things including behavior, vocabulary, potty habits to name a few have, improved with my child."

"Kiddie Academy at Vancouver Fisher Landing is really amazing!! Deepika Ilavarasan does a phenomenal job of maintaining the standards of the daycare be it the safety of the kids or the hygiene standards. The main thing that makes this daycare the best is that it’s a happy place for my baby. All the teachers (I mean every single one of them) are extremely affectionate and go beyond their responsibilities and actually care for the babies like they are their own. I’m sending my baby since she was 3.5 months old and she has a really big smile when she sees any of her teachers. From the food to their teaching curriculum, everything is just perfect! A big shoutout to my baby’s teachers, Emily, Waafa and Maruwa. If you are looking for a daycare in this area, don’t think twice! The only thing is that you have to book really ahead of time since they only have a limited number of spots, especially for infants. (I booked when I was 7 weeks pregnant!)"

"My oldest daughter has been attending Kiddie Academy since she was four months old. She's now 2.5 and we plan to keep her there until Kindergarten. She has really flourished at Kiddie Academy! She has learned so much and has made really great friends. All of the teachers we have interacted with are absolute saints and seem to really love their job! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a daycare or preschool for their child."

"Our son has had a really hard time adjusting to pre school. All of the teachers and directors have been so kind, loving, supportive and patient with him while he’s adjusted to the big change! His teachers Ms Jocelyn and Ms Laurel are fantastic and have gone above and beyond to make him feel happy and comfortable in a new environment. We love that we have access to the cameras and get daily reports with what they did and learned during the day along with photos. Having access to the cameras and reports allows us the opportunity to communicate with him about his day, what he ate and what he learned each day. Super happy we chose Kiddie Academy."
