How Far Are We from Riverwood?

Riverwood sits on the north side of Coquitlam, right along the border with Port Moody. From your neighbourhood, you can reach us by heading south or east on Guildford Way or Lansdowne Drive into Central Coquitlam. The drive takes about 10 to 15 minutes on a typical weekday morning. It's a straightforward route with no awkward highway ramps, and it becomes second nature within the first week.

Riverwood also has excellent bus service on the perimeter streets. If you're a transit commuter, you can drop your child with us and connect to the SkyTrain at Coquitlam Central or Burquitlam Station without a lot of hassle. A lot of our Riverwood families do exactly this on their way into Vancouver or Burnaby for work.

Why Riverwood Families Choose Us

Riverwood families tend to be thoughtful about their choices. You research. You ask questions. You don't just pick the first name that comes up. So let us give you something real to go on.

We have been doing this for over 16 years. That's not a marketing line. That means we have been in this community long enough to have cared for children who are now in high school. It means we know how to handle every age, every temperament, and every kind of family situation. Experience matters a lot in childcare, and we have it.

Every staff member holds an Early Childhood Education diploma. Not just the director. Not just one or two people. Every single person who works with your child has completed formal ECE training. They understand child development. They know how to support learning through play. They know how to handle a hard day with a toddler and how to help a baby settle into a new routine. You're not leaving your child with someone who just needed a job. You're leaving them with trained professionals who chose this work.

We are licensed by the Province of BC under the Child Care Licensing Regulation. This means we are regularly inspected and held to provincial standards for health, safety, staffing ratios, and programming. You can verify our licensing status and know that independent oversight is in place.

Our child-to-staff ratios are low. This is one of the biggest factors in quality childcare, and we keep our numbers tight. Fewer kids per caregiver means more attention, more connection, and a calmer environment for your child throughout the day.

We send daily updates to parents. Every day you'll know what your child ate, how they napped, what they played, and how they were feeling. You won't spend your workday wondering. A lot of parents tell us this daily communication is one of the most important things we do for their peace of mind.

We accept BC Childcare Subsidy. If you qualify, we will help you apply it to your fees. Quality childcare should be within reach for working families in Riverwood, and the subsidy can make a real difference in monthly costs.

About Riverwood: Your Neighbourhood in a Nutshell

Riverwood is the kind of place where families put down roots. Whether you're at a local park on the weekend or doing the school run on weekday mornings, you get to know the other parents nearby, and that sense of community matters when you're choosing care for your kids.

Inside Riverwood, the streets are quiet and safe. You have a neighbourhood park, a soccer field, and walking trails that your kids can enjoy right outside your door. There are restaurants, coffee shops, and Club 16 gym within the neighbourhood itself, so you don't have to go far for most things.

Riverwood also sits within easy reach of Coquitlam Centre, the largest shopping centre in the Tri-Cities, plus the parks, schools and services that make this such a good place to raise a family. Wherever you are in the neighbourhood, our centre on Pasture Circle is a quick, convenient drive.

And every level of school is right within Riverwood itself. Elementary, middle, and secondary schools are all in the neighbourhood. That means your kids can stay in the same community from kindergarten all the way through grade 12. A lot of families choose Riverwood partly for exactly this reason.

Programs We Offer

We offer a full lineup of childcare programs, so we can work with your family whether you have a newborn, a three-year-old, or kids at a few different ages at once. Here's a quick look at what we have.

• Infant Care for babies who are not yet walking. Small groups, consistent caregivers, gentle daily routines, and lots of one-on-one attention. We know how big a step it is to leave your baby with someone, and we take that trust very seriously.
• Toddler Care for the one and two-year-old crowd. Your toddler will have space to explore, ECE-trained staff who understand the stage they're in, and a program that supports language, movement, and social development every day.
• Preschool for kids aged three to five. Play-based and thoughtfully structured, our preschool program helps children build confidence, friendships, and the early learning skills they'll need going into kindergarten.
• Full-Day Daycare for families who need care from open to close. We're open Monday to Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, so your workday is covered.
• Family Daycare for siblings or children of different ages who can be together in a setting that feels more like a home. If you have a baby and a three-year-old, this is worth asking about.
• Educational Services to support your child's development through structured, ECE-led programming that goes beyond basic supervision.

What to Expect When You Visit

We encourage every family to come in before they decide. Book a free tour, walk through the space, and meet the people who would be caring for your child. Ask whatever you want. We don't do hard sells. We just want you to feel comfortable and have real information to go on.

Parents who visit usually notice a few things right away. The space is calm. The staff are warm and engaged with the children. It doesn't feel like an institution. It feels like a place where kids are known and cared about. That feeling is not an accident. It comes from 16 years of doing this work with intention.

If you have a child with specific needs or a particular routine you want maintained, let's talk about it. We want to understand your family before your child starts, so we can make the transition as smooth as possible.
