Daycare providers are loving and wonderful, the centre itself could use a bit a cosmetic update but for me it's convenient and close to home. Both my kids have attended and always come home with loads of artwork, they put on the most awesome Christmas show and do lots of outdoor activities. When they move into the older classroom to prepare for Kindergarten (think preschool), they start teaching them writing, the solar system etc... I also love how each month they have a theme that they cover and encourage parents to learn with their kids.

Truly blessed for the opportunity to be part of this daycare facility. All the teachers are very caring and put the safety of the children above all. This gave me the peace of mind to leave our little one in their care. Moreover, we were able to see our little own grow and develop because of the healthy environment created by the amazing FGCC team.

This is my daughter's first daycare in Vancouver, and the teacher is very nice. It would be better if the manager can make things more transparent.

Our son had lots of fun in the centre. Now that he is ready for kindergarten he always remember his friends and teachers of Forest Grove.
