Bright Beginnings Infant/Child Care
1393 Austin Ave V3k3p6 Coquitlam, BC, Canada

Space coming available soon! For anyone on the waitlist, please check your inbox or give us a call at 604-613-1022! :))

As the world is currently reeling from the pandemic, early childhood educators have been called on to jump in and stay open for essential workers. We have many families that have chosen to self isolate and keep their children at home for the time being, leaving *temporary* space open in the infant/toddler centre on Austin Avenue. As this is a currently operating daycare, we do have strict health and illness policies, as well as a very clean environment. Any families that did... choose to use our services during this time, would have to agree to our current illness policies. They have been carefully developed with advice based on current physician recommendations through Fraser health licensing. Please feel free to pass this around to any Frontline workers that are in need of childcare due to Centres closing down. As things are changing so rapidly, and we have the teleconference to explain the governments plan for childcare this week, we thought we would post and see if there is a need out there right now. Feel free to call/Text or email!

Really special times!!

Big and super positive changes are coming! We have recently secured a Beautiful commercial space, where we will be moving our infant and toddler program soon.

We are all about outdoor play and nature based learning here at Bright Beginnings! One of our children at daycare attends a weekly session where he gets extra 1:1 help to work on developing his fine and gross motor skills and confidence in an inclusive environment- with an incredible and passionate therapist. I have seen amazing results in his development- we love our Kyla! Check out her program! https://m.facebook.com/GrowPLAYGarden/
