ABC Academy Children’s Learning Centre has been serving New Westminster families for over 10 years, known for its bright, play-based classrooms and a strong focus on early literacy and outdoor learning. If you want a daycare that balances structure and joy, this is the kind of place I’d recommend to a friend: warm teachers, clear schedules, and measurable progress in social and language skills.

They offer full-day childcare for infants to preschoolers, before- and after-school care for school-aged children, and a licensed kindergarten readiness program. Classrooms are arranged by age, with infant rooms kept to small group sizes (maximum four infants per caregiver) and preschool rooms equipped with Montessori-inspired shelves and a literacy corner stocked with more than 200 board and picture books. Outdoor play takes place in a secure 1,200 square foot play yard with climbing structures, sand and sensory gardens, and seasonal planting beds for children to help tend.

ABC Academy’s daily routine mixes guided learning and child-led exploration. Mornings include circle time focused on phonemic awareness and numeracy games, followed by small-group art or science activities, and afternoon outdoor play or gross-motor development sessions. Staff hold current first aid and CPR, are certified in Early Childhood Education through BC’s licensing standards, and participate in quarterly professional development on topics such as positive behaviour guidance and inclusive practices.

Families tell me the communication is excellent, with daily reports, monthly progress notes, and a parent portal for booking and invoices. The centre hosts community events, like family potlucks and seasonal fundraisers, and partners with nearby schools for smooth transition into kindergarten. Parents choose ABC Academy for its predictable routines, qualified educators, and visible focus on each child’s growth.
