Testimonials:
I feel honored and proud to be a part of the Arbutus Grove family. My kids both loved spending their days outside playing and learning or racing about the track with bikes and building inside with friends. The staff area a delight, calm, kind and exactly the type of warmth you want to leave your little kids with (2024 - current parent)
Arbutus Grove is the childcare that we were looking for! The teachers are kind, the space is beautiful and the outdoor space is unmatched. But more importantly, my child is happy there and the combination of the style of care and the class sizes and structure make Arbutus a special place. We are very thankful for our child's time there (2024 - current parent).
We have had a wonderful experience at Arbutus Grove. What a beautiful space and the teachers you can tell love their work and are passionate about what they are doing. Management and admin is attentive, clear and helpful, and we are totally thrilled with everything we have experienced, we have no complaints at all. We have been to multiple daycares and this has been, by a long shot, our best experience (2024 - current parent)
I can't say enough wonderful things about the educators at Arbutus Grove Children's Centre. They are caring and supportive, and they ensure all kids feel safe and included. We have seen so much growth in our daughter throughout her time at Arbutus grove, in large part due to the kind approach the educators have taken to further her self-confidence. Our daughter comes home from pre-school everyday excited to share her art creations and stories from all the fun she had with her friends! (2024 - current parent)
Arbutus Grove has been a fantastic school for our child to learn, play, and build friendships. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and highly knowledgeable in early childhood education. They genuinely care about each child and consistently communicate their strengths while providing valuable guidance on areas for growth and development. We are truly grateful for their support and dedication. (2024 - current parent)
We feel so incredibly fortunate to be part of the Arbutus Grove family! The staff are absolutely wonderful - we are greeted with a warm welcome every morning at drop off, and they create such a loving, nurturing and fun environment. So much attention and thought has been put into the space to foster creative and imaginative play, and we especially love the outdoor grounds, which provide so much space for the kids to run and play, including a bike path and a little garden. We truly are so thankful for AGCC and the wonderful community it has helped to build! (2024 - current parent)
We can't recommend Arbutus Grove Children's Centre enough! They have everything you could want in a preschool: caring, experienced staff who have worked there many years and do regular professional development; exceptionally large, beautiful outdoor space with activities for all interests; and a play-oriented, nature-focused approach to support children in their learning. The quality of both their childcare and administrative support teams is obvious on a daily basis, and the best any parent could hope for! (2024 - current parent)
