What to look for in a Coquitlam daycare

A lot of moms ask us what they should actually look for when choosing daycare near them. Here's what we'd tell our own friends:

1. Check the license

In BC, licensed daycares have to meet standards for safety, staffing, health, and nutrition. Unlicensed facilities don't. Always ask to see the license. Love Kids is fully licensed and inspected regularly.

2. Ask about ECE credentials

ECE stands for Early Childhood Education. It's a real post-secondary credential that requires training in child development, learning, and safety. Not every daycare requires it. At Love Kids, every caregiver has their ECE. See our licensed daycare program for more on what this means for your child.

3. Look at staff turnover

Young kids do best with consistent caregivers. If a daycare has new faces every few months, that's hard on kids. Love Kids has high staff retention. Your child will know their caregivers, and the caregivers will know your child.

4. Visit before you decide

No website can tell you everything. Walk in, watch how staff interact with kids, and trust your gut. We offer tours. Come see us.

Questions moms actually ask us

What ages do you accept?

We take kids from 3 months old through school age. We have programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and older kids. If you're not sure where your child fits, just call us and we'll help you figure it out.

Is Love Kids a licensed daycare in Coquitlam?

Yes. We're fully licensed under BC's Child Care Licensing Regulation. That means provincial inspectors check us regularly for safety, health, and staffing standards. We don't just say we're safe. We have to prove it.

Do you accept the BC Childcare Subsidy?

Yes. If you qualify for the BC Childcare Subsidy or the Affordable Child Care Benefit, we can help you apply it to your fees. Call us at 604-338-8020 and we'll walk you through it.

What qualifications do your staff have?

Every single one of our caregivers has their ECE diploma. ECE is a real post-secondary certification that covers child development, learning environments, and safety. Several of our staff also have Infant Toddler and Special Needs specializations. This is not optional at Love Kids. It's required.

Can my two kids attend together?

Yes. Our family daycare program is built for exactly this. Mixed-age groups let siblings stay together, which is easier for parents and actually better for kids too.

What are your hours?

We're open Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. This works for most full-time working parents. If you have a specific scheduling question, call us and we'll see what we can work out.

How do I get updates on my child during the day?

We give parents daily updates on how their child's day went. You'll know what they ate, how they napped, what they did, and anything we noticed. You should never be left guessing.

How do I enroll my child at Love Kids?

The best first step is to come visit us. Call 604-338-8020 or send us a message to schedule a tour. We do have a waitlist at some age groups, so reach out sooner rather than later.
