Academics PreKindergarten South Surrey

I checked out several places before deciding to put my daughter in academics... my mind was almost dead set on Cefa until I checked academics out. I think there’s something wonderful about walking in and seeing each staff member teachers of other classes included knowing your child by name. I adore how someone is always at the front and as they take the time to greet the parents they know an unfamiliar face! (a lot of places say there’s someone at the front but often don’t) They do have uniforms but they aren’t mandatory each day, they allow you to dress your child in their colours which is great as the uniforms are quite pricey. I was surprised to see the classrooms peaceful when coming in mid day to grab my daughter, as other places I’d checked out were noisy and seemed a little chaotic. I have noticed a huge improvement in my daughters speech vocabulary and overall knowledge since she started. They have a chef so you don’t have to pack food and I’ve found my once picky eater to be a lot more adventurous (I also think she is much more inclined to try new things when she’s at a table with all her friends eating the same thing!) Most importantly for me though I am able to check in on her through their cameras (I wish more than one corner of the classroom was covered though) and every time I look in I see the teachers engaging with each child with care and patience. I have seen on multiple occasions them spoon feeding the little ones who have barely touched their food, sitting with the ones who are disruptive to circle time and showing a little extra compassion to those who might not be having the best day. My daughter is exstactic each and every day to go to “school” and just as happy to be picked up and tell me all about her day! I also don’t have enough good things to say about Kasidy at the front, she is extremely helpful and sweet.

I have been a Teacher at Academics for 5+ years and take great pride in saying so. I strongly believe in the teaching methods and program that Academics has to offer. I have seen proof of these methods over the years while being a teacher at Academics and it is exciting to be a part of that.Since having my son and returning to work at Academics, I am very excited about his progress in learning already. I see his vocabulary growing, table manners, writing skills, and over all personality growing everyday. Academics is an amazing school with staff who truly care and are passionate about teaching children.

As an ECE at Academics PreK I am excited to come to work each day to work with staff who are caring and passionate educators as well as amazing families and children. There are many families who have their children enrolled as an infant and it is so exciting to see them develop and grow with their peers all the way to PreK3 at five years old. I strongly believe in the philosophies and values we teach at Academics and am proud to be apart of children learning academically as well as self help skills, social skills, and so much more. I have so much trust in the qualified and educated staff here at Academics. Each day I see the changes in my own son who attends Academics' Baby Blue class as he becomes more social, confident, and continues to build a strong vocabulary. It makes me so happy as a parent to see him excited to come to school each morning and the bond he's built with his teachers. -Tia Ball.

Ever since switching to Academics in White Rock/South Surrey - we have been blown away by this daycare. The Director is amazing - always friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! The teachers, curriculum and reports are fantastic. The facility is beautiful, clean, and such a warm environment. And the chef and receptionist are super awesome - always friendly and great with the kiddos! Couldn't me happier here and have felt very lucky to have found this place for our daughter to learn.- Jaide & Scott

We absolutely love this daycare/school. Our first son started there when he was 13 months, and our second child started at 10 months. The teachers and staff there are so so caring and nurturing, and they’re great educators. They teach in a way that infants/toddlers are interested, having fun and learning. They have a good mix of outdoor play (year round), and indoor play, and they have an amazing curriculum that will set your child up for great success in whichever elementary school they end up in. I cannot say enough good things about this daycare. They have a full time chef that makes healthy hot foods from scratch everyday, which is all included in your fees. You get what you pay for, and then some. They also have webcams in their classrooms, making their facility totally transparent, and they have an awesome system set up to send parents daily reports and updates, including pictures of your children’s day.Both our kids absolutely love it there, which makes us as parents comfortable and happy to send them there. We trust every single one of the staff in the White Rock location, and will vouche for any one of them. They all take the time to know every child, and their parents because they simply care.

I have been working for Academics preKindergarten for half a year. The thing I love most about working there is the opportunity to meet so many wonderful families and form relationships with. I look forward to the children greeting me by name in the mornings and as they leave. Since starting at Academics White Rock, all the staff have been so welcoming and helpful. I really feel as though I am a part of an Academics family. I am grateful to be able to continue to grow in my career at Academics.

My eldest daughter goes to this daycare and truly loves it. She has learned so much and looks forward to going every day . They have an amazing chef that makes the kids food daily. My daughter just loves Chef Amanda and her food and it’s also way easier for me then having to pack her a lunch every day. My youngest daughter will attend academics come spring. The teachers are truly the best and really love the kids.

I checked out multiple places before choosing this school. I was not so sure in the beginning, but when I visited Academics PreKindergarten, I was really impressed by the way staff members treated my daughter. They made me feel at ease, and I could see that they knew each child individually. They are very warm and welcoming. Also, one major thing - they have a chef, so you don't have to worry about food at all. It is very hygienic, and encourages your child to try new healthier food options as well. I think that personal attention" given to each child sets this place apart. I am really glad that I chose Academics PreKindergarten White Rock for my daughter."

I love Academics PreK White Rock! The staff are all caring and so sweet. As a first time mom, I was extremely nervous leaving my baby somewhere but they worked with me and take such great care of her. They made it so easy to leave her there... I even show up on days they are closed! haha
