Little Footprints Academy | Latitude – Uptown has been caring for New Westminster families since 2016, and what people notice first is how seamlessly play, learning and routine come together. This centre specialises in early childhood development for infants through preschoolers, and its bright, 3,200-square-foot space on Columbia Street is laid out to support exploration, quiet rest and active play all in one easily supervised floor plan.

They offer full-day childcare, half-day preschool programming and before- and after-school care, with specific programs for infants (0–18 months), toddlers (18–36 months) and preschoolers (3–5 years). Practical examples include daily circle time using the HighScope-inspired curriculum, emergent literacy activities with the Jolly Phonics toolkit, and outdoor gross-motor sessions in their adjacent secure play yard. Parents will also appreciate the daily reports via their secure app, individual learning portfolios and family nights held quarterly.

The team is small but experienced, with lead educators who hold Early Childhood Education certifications and current first aid and CPR for infants and children. Staff-to-child ratios are consistent with licensing guidelines, and many educators have been with the centre for three years or more, which helps with continuity of care. You’ll see educators guiding sensory tables, leading nature walks to nearby parks and supporting potty training with predictable routines rather than just overseeing it.

Families choose Little Footprints Academy because it feels like a neighbourhood hub, not an institution. They work with local health visitors, celebrate cultural events from the community and offer flexible options for parents working different shifts. If you want a daycare where educators know your child by name, where schedules are predictable and where daily learning is visible, this is a strong local choice.
