Learnnplay has been serving New Westminster families for over 10 years, specialising in early childhood care that feels like an extension of home. They are known for small-group ratios and bright, purpose-built play spaces, including a 1,200 sq. ft. indoor playroom and a secure outdoor garden where toddlers dig, plant and hunt for ladybugs. Parents often choose them for that hands-on, personal approach.

They offer licensed full-day care, before- and after-school programs, and a summer camp tailored to ages 18 months through 12 years. Specific offerings include a Montessori-inspired toddler room, a preschool literacy circle using the Jolly Phonics program, and an active school-age club that runs skating outings and homework support. Learnnplay provides hot lunches prepared onsite three days a week and snack menus that follow Canada’s Food Guide, plus optional pickup and drop-off from local schools.

What sets them apart is how they work. Staff create weekly learning plans with measurable goals, like boosting fine motor skills through play dough and scissor practice, and sharing progress notes and photos through their secure parent app. Every caregiver holds early childhood education certification and current first aid and CPR, and the centre director has 12 years of experience in child development. They also run monthly parent workshops on sleep, behaviour and potty training, so families feel supported beyond drop-off.

Located in the heart of New Westminster, Learnnplay collaborates with nearby preschools and the public library for community story walks and seasonal fairs. Neighbours say the centre feels warm, practical and genuinely child-focused, which is why many families stay for years and recommend it to friends.
