Mary Hill Families: Quality Daycare is Closer Than You Think

Mary Hill is one of those neighbourhoods that just feels like a real family community. You have got big, flat lots with room for the kids to run around. The streets are quiet. Families here have put down roots. A lot of the homes in Mary Hill are two-storey houses with yards, and many of the families we see from this area have more than one child. It is the kind of place where you stay once you move in.

But being a family community does not make finding good childcare any easier. In fact, with more kids in the picture, finding a daycare you truly trust matters even more. You are not just dropping off one child and hoping for the best. You need a place with real structure, real qualifications, and real communication so you know what is happening with your kids while you are at work.

That is where we come in. Love Kids Daycare Coquitlam is in Coquitlam, just a short drive from Mary Hill. For most families in this part of south Coquitlam, the trip takes about 8 to 12 minutes. It is not in your backyard, but it is close. And once you see what we offer, most families tell us the drive is absolutely worth it.

We have been serving families in Coquitlam for over 16 years. We are licensed by the Province of BC. Every staff member holds an ECE (Early Childhood Education) diploma. And we genuinely care about every child in our care. That is not marketing talk. It is just what 16 years of showing up for families looks like.

How Far Is It from Mary Hill to Our Daycare?

Our daycare is located at 3007 Pasture Circle, Coquitlam, BC, right near the Coquitlam border. From Mary Hill in south Coquitlam, you have a couple of easy options to get here.

The most direct route for many Mary Hill families is to head north or northwest on Prairie Avenue, cross into Coquitlam, and follow through to Pasture Circle. This route avoids the busiest parts of Lougheed Highway in the morning and takes about 8 to 10 minutes in typical traffic.

If you prefer to take the Lougheed Highway, you can hop on heading west and cut into Coquitlam from there. This can take slightly longer during peak hours but is a perfectly good option.

Either way, most Mary Hill families are at our door in under 12 minutes. That is a manageable drop-off for a full workday of quality care. And the Mary Hill Bypass, which connects to the highway heading west toward Burnaby and Vancouver, is right in your area. Many parents drop off first and then take the bypass for their commute, which works out very smoothly.

What Makes Us the Right Fit for Mary Hill Families

Mary Hill families tend to be established. Bigger homes, more kids, and usually both parents working or one parent handling a lot on their own. You need a daycare that can handle real family life, not just a simple single-child drop-off situation. Here is what we bring to the table.

• We handle multiple children from the same family. If you have a toddler and a preschooler, or an infant and an older child, we can often accommodate siblings. Call us to talk about what is available for your specific ages.
• ECE-qualified staff for every age group. From infants to preschoolers, the caregivers looking after your children have formal Early Childhood Education training. This is not just a supervised play space. It is a genuine learning environment.
• Low child-to-staff ratios. Your child is not disappearing into a crowd. We keep our group sizes manageable so staff can give real attention to each child.
• Daily parent updates. You will hear about your child's day, every day. What they ate, how they slept, what they learned, anything worth noting. For parents managing a full workday and a family at home, this kind of communication makes a real difference.
• Open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Whether you are hitting the Mary Hill Bypass early for a Burnaby commute or working a standard 9 to 5, our hours cover your day.
• BC Childcare Subsidy accepted. Quality childcare is expensive. The provincial subsidy helps. We accept it, and we are happy to help you understand how it works.
• 16 years in the community. We have seen families grow up with us. Kids who started in our infant program are now in school. That kind of continuity matters. It means we know what we are doing and families keep coming back.
• Provincially licensed. We are held to the Child Care Licensing Regulation standards. Regular inspections. Real accountability. No shortcuts.

Day Care Center for Mary Hill Children

We offer a full range of programs for different ages and needs. Here is what is available for your family.

Infant Care is designed for babies from just a few months old. We know leaving your infant is one of the hardest things a parent does. Our infant caregivers are patient, warm, and properly trained. Small group sizes mean your baby gets real one-on-one time throughout the day.

Toddler Care meets your busy one and two year old right where they are. Toddlers are learning everything at once, and our program uses play-based methods that support language development, social skills, and physical growth without pushing kids before they are ready.

Preschool is a great bridge to kindergarten. Mary Hill Elementary School offers French Immersion, and Pitt River Middle School is nearby. We help kids build the listening, literacy, and social foundations they need to walk into those classrooms confident and ready.

Full-Day Daycare covers your full work schedule, from our 7:00 am open to 6:00 pm close. This is a popular choice for Mary Hill families where both parents work full time. Your child has a consistent, structured day with us while you take care of business.

Family Daycare is a smaller, more home-like setting. Some children do better in a quieter environment with a smaller group. If that sounds like your child, ask us about this option when you call.

Educational Services provides extra support or enrichment for children who need a bit more structure in their learning. This is a program worth asking about if your child has specific developmental needs or if you want to give them an extra academic boost.
