Laurentian Belaire is one of those neighbourhoods that just feels right. The streets are quiet but you're right in the middle of everything. Coquitlam Centre is around the corner. The SkyTrain is close. You can actually walk to things. And yet it still feels like a real neighbourhood, not a busy corridor.

If you live in Laurentian Belaire and you're looking for daycare in Coquitlam, you already know what good looks like. You picked a great neighbourhood because it checks real boxes, not just marketing ones. You want the same thing in a daycare. A place that actually delivers on what it promises.

What the Drive Looks Like from Laurentian Belaire

Getting to us from Laurentian Belaire is straightforward. Most families head east on Guildford Way and follow it toward the Coquitlam River area, or take Como Lake Avenue north and then cut east. Either way, the drive is easy and predictable. You're not fighting traffic through downtown. You're on wide Coquitlam roads with clear turns.

If you take transit, you're also close to Coquitlam Central Station and Lincoln Station on the Evergreen Extension. Coquitlam is well connected, and Laurentian Belaire sits right in that sweet spot where transit and driving both work.

We open at 7:00 am Monday to Friday. So whether you're heading to Douglas College, commuting into Burnaby or Vancouver, or getting to work before rush hour hits, we're already here waiting.

Why Families from Central Coquitlam Choose Us

Parents in Laurentian Belaire tend to be practical people. You care about your community. You value convenience without sacrificing quality. You picked a walkable, central location to live in because you thought ahead. And when it comes to your kids, you think ahead too.

Here's what we hear from parents who make the drive from central Coquitlam:

  • They wanted a licensed daycare with real credentials, not just a friendly face
  • They needed early hours because their commute or schedule doesn't allow for a 9am drop-off
  • They wanted the same educator to know their child week after week, not a rotating door of strangers
  • They were relieved the BC Childcare Subsidy was accepted and the paperwork was manageable
  • They liked that we care for all age groups so siblings can come to the same place

We hear this over and over. And we get it. When you're close to Coquitlam Centre and the SkyTrain and Douglas College, your days are already full. The last thing you need is a daycare pickup or drop-off that adds stress to your routine. We make it simple.

Day Care Center: Something for Every Age

One of the things families really appreciate is that we cover every stage. You don't have to switch daycares as your child gets older. We've got you from infancy right through school-age years.

Infant Care

If your baby is under 18 months, we know how hard it is to leave them. Our infant program is built around low ratios, gentle routines, and constant communication with you. You'll hear from us during the day. You won't be left wondering.

Toddler Care

Toddlers are busy. Curious. Into everything. Our toddler program gives them a safe space to explore, learn through play, and start building the social skills they'll need in school. Every educator in our toddler room has their ECE diploma. They know child development, not just childcare.

Preschool

Our preschool program gets kids genuinely ready for kindergarten. Not just sitting at a desk. Real readiness: listening, following routines, working with other kids, developing their curiosity. We see parents drop off nervous three-year-olds and pick up confident five-year-olds. It happens all the time.

Full-Day Daycare

For families who need full-day care, we're open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday. That's real coverage for real working parents. No early pickup pressure. No scrambling.

Family Daycare

Some families prefer the warmth and closeness of a family daycare setting. We offer that too. A smaller group, a home-like environment, the same familiar faces every day.

Educational Services

We also offer educational services for children who need a little extra support or enrichment. Our ECE-trained team understands where each child is developmentally and meets them there.

We send daily updates to parents. You'll know what your child ate, how nap time went, what they played, and how they're doing. You stay in the loop, every single day.

What Makes Us Different from Other Daycares near Laurentian Belaire

There are other daycares in the Coquitlam area. We know that. So let us be honest about what sets us apart.

First, every staff member holds an ECE diploma. This is not the standard everywhere. Some daycares have a few trained educators and fill the rest of the team with untrained assistants. We don't do that. Everyone here has the training.

Second, our ratios are low. Fewer kids per educator means more attention for your child. It means someone actually notices when your kid is off today. It means your baby gets held when they need it, not just when there's time.

Third, we've been here for over 16 years. That matters in childcare. High turnover at a daycare is hard on kids. Familiar, consistent educators make a real difference for children, especially the little ones. Our team knows this community. Many of our educators have been here for years.

Fourth, we work with the BC Childcare Subsidy program. We know families in Coquitlam are dealing with real costs. If you qualify for the subsidy, we'll help you use it. No runaround.

Questions Parents from Laurentian Belaire Ask Us

Is Love Kids Daycare actually licensed by the province?

Yes. We are licensed by BC under the Child Care Licensing Regulation. That means we meet the province's standards for safety, staffing, ratios, and program quality. You can feel confident your child is in a regulated, accountable environment.

Do all your staff have their ECE?

Every single one. This is something we're proud of and something we don't budge on. Every educator on our team holds an ECE diploma. They understand child development. They know how to support kids at every stage, not just keep them busy.

Do you accept the BC Childcare Subsidy?

Yes, we do. If your family qualifies for the BC Childcare Subsidy, we work with it directly. Childcare in Coquitlam is a real expense, and we want to make sure cost doesn't get in the way of your child getting good care. Call us and we'll walk you through how it works.

What time do you open? I need early drop-off.

We open at 7:00 am Monday to Friday. If you're commuting from Coquitlam into Burnaby or Vancouver, or heading to Douglas College for an early class, 7:00 am gives you a real head start. We close at 6:00 pm, so you have a generous pickup window too.

My baby is only four months old. Do you have infant care?

Yes. Our infant care program is designed for the youngest children. We keep ratios very low in the infant room. Your baby will be held, talked to, and responded to. And you'll get daily updates so you always know how they're doing. We know leaving a baby is hard. We take that seriously.

I have two kids at different ages. Can they both come to you?

Yes. We care for children from infancy through preschool and school age. Siblings can come to the same place, which makes drop-off and pickup much simpler for families. It also means your kids grow up knowing the same educators and the same community.

How will I know what my child is doing during the day?

We send daily updates to parents. You'll hear about meals, naps, activities, and how your child is doing. You don't have to wait until pickup to find out your toddler had a rough morning. We keep you connected throughout the day.

Can I come see the daycare before I decide?

Absolutely. We encourage it. Come tour the space, meet the educators, and ask every question you have. We want you to feel completely comfortable before your child's first day. Call us at 604-338-8020 to set up a time that works for you.
