Childcare in Burke Mountain, Coquitlam
Looking for daycare in Burke Mountain? Love Kids Daycare Coquitlam sits at 3007 Pasture Cir in Ranch Park, and the drive from your side of the mountain is a straight south then east run down David Avenue and Coast Meridian Road, roughly 15 minutes off-peak. We are licensed under BC's Child Care Licensing Regulation, every educator holds an ECE diploma, and we are now enrolling ages 3 and up for September.
Burke Mountain sits on the northeast side of Coquitlam and borders Port Coquitlam along Coast Meridian Road and Victoria Drive. Housing stock went up from 2005 onward under the Wesbild master plan, launched in 2007, covering roughly 1,900 homes across estate, single-family, row, and traditional townhome types over about 909 acres. Local builders under that plan include Foxridge, Morningstar, Polygon, Noura, Gardenia, and Wallmark.
The character of the mountain is West-Coast, energy-efficient, chalet-inspired exteriors on greenbelt lots, mixed with denser townhome pockets in sub-neighbourhoods like Smiling Creek and Partington Creek. It reads newer than the rest of Coquitlam because the majority of homes really are 2005 or newer.
Who Lives on Burke Mountain
About 59% of households have children, average household income is roughly $121,288, and median age sits around 36.8. That is one of the most family-heavy, income-strong pockets in Coquitlam. Projected population is heading from about 20,000 today to roughly 50,000 within 25 years.

The existing high-school catchment is Terry Fox Secondary at 1260 Riverwood Gate. Burke Mountain Middle and Secondary opens at 3390 to 3400 David Avenue in Fall 2026.

How to Get From Burke Mountain to 3007 Pasture Cir
Head south on Coast Meridian Road or Princeton Avenue, roll down David Avenue, and continue toward the east side of Coquitlam. Our address, 3007 Pasture Cir, sits in Ranch Park near Colony Farm Regional Park and the Coquitlam River. Off-peak the run is roughly 15 minutes. At rush hour Coast Meridian backs up near Meridian Crossing.
Burke Mountain is bus-served, not rail-served. The Coast Meridian, Princeton, and David bus routes ride down to Lafarge Lake-Douglas SkyTrain on the Evergreen Line. Plenty of our Burke Mountain parents drop off at 7:30 am and then catch the SkyTrain from Lafarge for a Vancouver or Burnaby job.
We are at 3007 Pasture Cir, Coquitlam, BC V3C 2C3. From Burke Mountain, drop south down Coast Meridian and David Avenue toward Ranch Park. Roughly 15 minutes off-peak. Call (604) 338-8020 and we will talk you through the exact turns for your block.
Everyday Life on Burke Mountain and Where Daycare Fits
Everyday shopping today runs through Meridian Crossing and Meridian Corner on Coast Meridian Road. Costco, Coquitlam Centre mall, and Save-On-Foods sit about 5 to 10 minutes drive south. Burke Mountain Village is the future retail hub, a 39-acre site oriented around Princeton Avenue with a Central Spine running toward David Avenue, about 120,000 sq ft of retail and commercial space planned with a grocery store and public plaza. Burke Mountain Community Centre, with aquatic, fitness, and library programming, is scheduled to open in 2029.
Green space is the other defining feature. Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, Minnekhada Regional Park, and Widgeon Marsh Reserve all sit adjacent to the neighbourhood, with trailheads at Highland Drive and along Harper Road. Burke Mountain kids grow up outside. Our programming leans outdoor-active and nature-forward to match.
Why Burke Mountain Families Pick Love Kids
We have been running licensed care in Coquitlam for over 16 years at the same address in Ranch Park. Every educator holds an ECE diploma. Ratios stay intentionally low, we send daily updates to every parent so nobody spends their SkyTrain ride wondering how their kid is doing, and we accept BC Childcare Subsidy for families who qualify.
Burke Mountain skews higher-income on average, so subsidy is not the primary lever for most families here. What tends to matter more is fit, staff continuity, and a program that respects how much time these kids already spend outdoors.
For the under-3 crowd, be direct with us on the phone. BC licensing caps our facility at three children under 3, and all three seats are held. If you moved into a new Wesbild build in Smiling Creek or Partington Creek and you have a baby or toddler, get on the infant care waitlist. We call the moment a spot opens. For ages 3 and up we have active September enrollment.
Programs We Run for Burke Mountain Families
- Preschool for ages 3 to 5, with kindergarten readiness aimed at the Smiling Creek, Leigh, Coast Salish, and Marigold catchments.
- Full-Day Daycare for the 7:30 am to 5:30 pm window that fits SkyTrain commutes off Lafarge Lake-Douglas.
- Family Daycare for families who want the smaller, home-like setting, especially useful for siblings across ages.
- Group Childcare for kids who thrive around peers, in a licensed, staffed group setting.
- Subsidized Child Care for families qualifying for BC Childcare Subsidy.
Infant Daycare Near Burke Mountain
Infant daycare capacity across the mountain is thin, and ours is no exception. BC licensing lets us take three children under 3 at 3007 Pasture Cir, and all three seats are currently held. Get your name on the waitlist and we will call the moment a spot opens. Every infant slot uses Health Canada safe-sleep positioning, and your baby stays with the same ECE-certified caregiver through the day.

My child is under 3. Do you have space right now?
Our infant and toddler spots are full right now. BC licensing allows three children under 3 and all three are taken. Join the waitlist and we will call the moment one opens. We are actively enrolling ages 3 and up today, including kids turning 3 soon.
Do a lot of Burke Mountain families end up commuting to Vancouver or Burnaby?
Yes. The Coast Meridian, Princeton, and David bus routes all ride down to Lafarge Lake-Douglas SkyTrain on the Evergreen Line. Many Burke Mountain parents drop off on the way to the SkyTrain, so our 7:30 am open matters. There is no SkyTrain station on Burke Mountain itself yet, so the drop-off then transit routine is common.
We just moved into a Wesbild home in Smiling Creek. Are you familiar with the sub-neighbourhoods?
Yes. Burke Mountain is a master-planned Wesbild build launched in 2007, roughly 1,900 homes across estate, single-family, row, and traditional townhome types over about 909 acres. We see families from Smiling Creek and Partington Creek, and from homes built by Foxridge, Morningstar, Polygon, Noura, Gardenia, and Wallmark. Talk to us about pickup timing that fits your specific block.
