St Alban's Day Care Centre - Burnaby, British Columbia

Angela Buehrle

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.

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.

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. 🙂

This is an amazing daycare! I put my son in the daycare when he turned three. At that time, he needed special support as he could not walk and run independently by himself. He was very frustrated when he tried to run but he couldn’t. The educators in the daycare were very nice and patient. They guided and encouraged him to enhanced his self-confidence! Even though he is in grade 2 right now, he always recalls how wonderfully the educators have treated him. Therefore, I put my three-year-old daughter in this daycare right now, she loves the daycare and the educators very much! Thank you all the staff for taking care my children with all their loves.

I sent my son to St Alban's Daycare five years ago when he turned two and a half years old and now my daughter is also in this daycare. When I sent my first kid to the daycare, I was so worried and I believe most of the mothers have the similar experience: not sure if the teachers are kind enough, carefully enough to take care of your little ones, worry about if your little ones will be safe, if they will get along with other kids... Very soon, I had an opportunity to spend a few evenings with the teachers to get to know them better, we took the first aid courses together. Every evening, the class was very enjoyable, the teachers were very humorous, and they got along very well like old friends. Seeing this, I was relieved. I believe the teachers must have been working in a pleasant environment to have such a tacit understanding, and the children will also be in this pleasant environment. I can also see my kids like it very much as every time I pick them up , they are not willing to leave . At the beginning, my only wish was my kids can be happy in the daycare, it turns out we gained much more: they learn about number, sign language, planting, observing the process of butterfly transformation, they will visit "Grandpa and Grandma" very two weeks. The daycare provide hot lunch and more important the price is affordable. Thanks god for letting me find this daycare for my kids.

The staff is what makes this Daycare so amazing. They have decades of experience, wisdom and unconditional love. My son has found a second home at St.Albans and I will be sad when it comes time to move on. They cater to his special needs, while treating him as a part of the group at the same time. He has learned more from being at daycare than I could ever have hoped for! The price is more than reasonable for what you and you're little will get from it.

My son was in St. Albans Daycare before, he loves to go to Daycare. The teachers are all very nice and patient to the kids. Now, he is in elementary school, while we send our younger daughter to the St. Albans too. My daughter also goes to daycare happily every weekday. Sometimes my son visits the daycare when we pickup our daughter. He loves to see all teachers and the places in his memory, and the teachers still keep his picture on the wall.

The daycare teaches songs, craft, stories etc. They also provide hot lunch, which save me a lot of time. My daughter was shy at the beginning, now she is much more out-going than before. I think the friendly environment help to shape her character. BTW, I recall in my son also got a present in daycare’s Christmas concert when we brought him to see the performance. He was in elementary school already. It is a small gift, but it means a lot to my son.
