Parkland Players

Parkland Players was established in 1995 to address the community need for quality daycare and education in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Our centers are founded on the philosophy that children, their families, and the community benefit from high-quality early childhood programs. We prioritize creating a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that cultivates children's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development. As pioneers of the Reggio Emilia-inspired approach in the Tri-cities region, we emphasize hands-on learning, creativity, and independence, aligning with our belief that all children are equal and unique individuals. Our programsincluding infant/toddler care, preschool, pre-kindergarten, out-of-school care, and summer campsare designed to let children explore their interests at their own developmental pace.

We maintain strong community partnerships, such as monthly visits to senior care facilities, to teach children about social responsibility. Our educators use a structured yet flexible curriculum, documented in our internal manual 'Hundred Languages of Experience,' to support learning through play, interaction, and artistic expression. Parent engagement is central to our model, with daily/weekly reports providing transparency into each child's growth. Over three decades, we have remained committed to fostering environments where children thrive through collaboration, exploration, and relationship-building.
