Buckingham Tots Child Care Centre

Last year, I contacted them and asked to be added on the waiting list. In Feb. I received an e-mail notifying a space is available and asked if we want to visit. I replied right away, telling them I was very interested, and asked since we were out of the country at that time, could we had our friend to visit instead? The manager said yes without any hesitation.So I wrote a list of questions for my friend, who drove all the way from White Rock to the centre, took photos and asked questions for me. After hearing her feedbacks, we IMMEDIATELY decided to take the spot.We contacted the manager again, saying we wanted to pay to reserve the spot. Her attitude changed completely. She said that other parents have come to visit and she's waiting for them to decide, and that she can't give me the spot because they usually want to meet parents and child first.So Question 1: Why did you agree to let my friend visit instead of us if you need to meet parents and child first, waiting everyone's time???Question 2: From the time we received the availability notice, we arranged visit right away, and then make decision right away. If we were the first one on the waiting list, why did you contact other parents as well? If you contacted multiple parents to visit to fight for one spot, what is the point of a waiting list???

Super Nice Daycare Center. 100% Recommended. I don't usually recommend just about anything, but this one I had to. The environment maybe not the best in the industry(which is still good enough), but I sure the stuff is. Very Nice people/owner/Teacher and they are very responsible to your kids. Check this one out, if you are looking for daycare. even tho you may end up in the waiting list. lol. be noted they only accept kids from age 0-3. (They are also a multi-culture / language speaking environment, such as Chinese Mandarin , but mainly speaks in English)

This daycare is amazing! Rita and Zoe are very nice and patient! The place is clean and bright. I regret that I sent my boy to this daycare so late!特别特别好的daycare，老师们都特别的耐心、温柔，把我的宝宝交给她们我特别放心。后悔没有早点送他去。我会给我朋友推荐这所daycare！

Zoe and Rita are great early childhood educators and care givers. They observe each child attentively and communicate effectively with parents. We are grateful that they are the first teachers to our baby. Highly recommend!

We really like both teachers here!Highly recommended for kids under age of 3 years!

One of the best child care centre in Burnaby
