FAMC

I moved to Richmond B.C from Montreal and was looking for a school to enroll my daughter. I have heard many amazing things about FAMC, so I decided to contact Nicky to set up an appointment to see the school and meet the faculty. When I first arrived I was very pleased, the school was very clean, organized, and the teachers there were very welcoming! My daughter is usually very timid around strangers but as soon as I entered I believe the teachers name was Sarah, she sat my daughter down with the other children and gave her some breakfast. They treat the children at the school like their own, you can tell they genuinely care about each of them. My daughter was laughing and playing with the other kids, it made me so happy seeing her getting along with the other children. I enrolled my daughter here a few weeks ago and when I go to work I have no worries, I know my daughter is safe and getting the best education and development. To all parents considering this school, I would say meet Nicky and her team and you will not think twice. Thank you Nicky for your kindness and care for my daughter, she really loves going to school every morning! - Natasha

Once a student and now over a decade later, a volunteer. My time at FAMC has been nothing but amazing. Many years ago, I started off my academic journey here at this school. The care I received from the teachers always made me feel happy and welcome, and I learned lots everyday. Not only did I learn subjects like Art, English, Foreign Languages, Math, and Science, but also many valuable life skills. From taking care of myself to being confident, being a responsible leader to helping others, and building the work ethic I have today through being trained in diligence, consistency, and integrity, FAMC has truly paved a road for me that I will never forget. Volunteering at FAMC has once again brought back the wonderful memories. Seeing children grow is such a blessing and reflecting back on my experiences brings a feeling of warmth. During this pandemic and in the past, I have truly seen that FAMC is very reliable. Disinfecting toys after every use, having students wash their hands often, and washing each student's water bottle at lunch time, FAMC has kept up a consistent standard throughout all these years and is a childcare center I would definitely recommend!

My child joined this horrible daycare on October 1st 2021 but his journey was just for a couple weeks. The owner and the principle are non-Professional and selfish. The issue started when the principle Nicky asked my wife to bring the handbook (day care agreement), so I read it and I had some questions and need more clarification so I wrote my concerns on the document she gave me and sent it back to her. When she saw what I wrote she became so nervous and spoke to my wife in an impolite manner. My wife asked her to call me if she needs more information and she highlighted that it's my right to don't agree with some clauses in that handbook. The principle sent me a Wathsapp message to inform me that the owner will call me from a ''private number'' to discuss. I gave her some availabilities when I can talk to him and asked her kindly if she can send his name but she didn't answer. Even she didn't send me the name I answered the call and asked him kindly about his name but he refused to give it to me and he said that we don't need such a difficult customer inside our daycare and gave a funny example that if an owner of a restaurant doesn't want you in his place he'll ask you to live. To put you in the loop, see below my comments about the handbook: - Even you have a full subsidy, they will withdraw the monthly fees between 24th and 30 th of the previous mount (my comment was to withdraw on the 1st of the month) but I think I shouldn't accept this clause because when you open a business you should have a cash flow not rely in parents to pay your expenses before you get the money from Subsidy and then refund them. - I asked for more information about the length of spring and Christmas break. - I asked to specify the yearly amount they'll take from my account to cover the registration fees (in the agreement the clause mentioned that they can withdraw any amount they want) - The agreement mentioned that they have the right to change anything without any notice: I didn't agree and I asked to notify me if they change any clause. They mentioned that there is a notification board where they'll put some signs for the parents and I asked to show me the location because they mentioned that they're not responsible if you missed something. My advice, please don't be the weak ring in the chain, don't sign any agreement before you read it and if you disagree with something say it loudly, don't be scared, costumers are the important side in any business and without us they'll shut down.

Dear Owner of FAMC, I registered online and was looking for more information about your daycare! My child is 3 and currently studies another daycare now! The reason i am interested to switch was because i want to know more about the difference between montessori vs play-based ! One of the staff called me and we have a quick chat ! During the conversation she asked me why i want to switch my child to different daycare , i then asked her i want to know more about your daycare and montessori system ! She told me its very hard to explain! All i received the vibes from her was not very professional and impatient! I saw there are many good reviews on your daycare thats why i choose to register for inquiry ! It quite disappointed especially there are many good reviews!

We have both of our children attended this pre-school for the past 7 years, and the experiences are amazing. The teachers are professional, patient and caring. They have great programs and curriculums that both my children learnt a lot. My kids also enjoyed fun activities for many different occasions. Their structured teaching well prepares the kids ready for kindergarten and elementary school. My daughter is about to enter kindergarten and we will be truly missing this place and all the teachers. It feels like part of the family after 7 years.

This is an amazing daycare and one of the best in Richmond. The teachers are all very professional and makes all the children happy! Everyday my daughter brings home a new piece of art and is always happy when she I pick her up. The daycare is also very close to a park so the children always get to go on picnics. Ms. Nicky (the principle) is very attentive and interactive with her students, and always finds a way to help the children learn and have fun! The teachers are all very patient with the children and they always have a kind attitude which makes all the kids happy. Our family loves FAMC.

I'm so glad that I made the decision to register my son in this amazing community. We very much appreciate the loving energy that Miss Nicky and Miss Saideh emanate, and it is a blessing to expose my son in this positive energies. It is so relieved to see someone that genuine care and love children! As a mom, I feel I get a great support and FAMC teachers are my allies. It's been a wonderful experience both for me and my son! Thank you so much FAMC!!! The time we spend here will be fondly remembered!

My personal experience at this daycare was excellent and I don’t know what I would’ve done without it. I was not able to speak any language properly and was not even toilet trained when I was in this program which are two of the hardest things a parent could teach their child and I was taught it here. How to get along with others, how to count or even alphabetize and so much basic knowledge you learn in preschool or kindergarten was taught to me in this daycare. I can say confidently that this daycare is so amazing it doesn’t just take care of your kids while your busy but helps them learn and evolve to be at a faster pace and to be ahead of their future classes and schoolwork. This daycare will help your kids succeed faster than others and teach them values that you as parents can’t even do. BRING YOUR KIDS HERE you won’t regret it!!!
