C	Camilla Duncen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've had my twins attend both the preschool and daycare locations (had to go back to work full time so switched to full time care) and I couldn't be happier with the level of quality and service at KJA. On top of having a loving and caring place to leave my kids the past two years, I really feel they are very well prepared for Kindergarten.. I've already refferred several friends but I really can't say enough good things about them!
k	kenny C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We made an appointment with Shaun the director for a tour with our son today. Arrived and rang the bell and no one was there. We waiting for fifteen mins before we left very disappointed. While we were there, we called and mailbox is not assign and we email Shaun also. I guess the first RED flag was it took him around a week to even get back to us for this appointment. Definitely not bring my kid here. I'll make sure this is posted everywhere online for other parents to see. Place was not very secure too, someone could have easily came into the premises and took all the toys away.
R	Rita L on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely an awesome decision for childcare! Kiddy Junction provided a safe, encouraging, and versatile environment for my son to play, learn and explore. After only a few months of enrollment at KJA, he has become more independent, neat, patient, and learned how to eat neatly by himself, play independently for half hour at a time, and walk by himself without fussing when we go out. All the learning and independence we tried hard to reinforce at home seems to be learned effortlessly at KJA by following examples in the calm environment. There are always lots of educational toys, arts and crafts activities to keep him interested and engaged. All the teachers are very patient and loving, they respect the children's differences. Kids there are calm and playful. It is very nice to see my son has made lots of friends, and often are having too much fun to go home when we pick him up at end of the day. With almost a decade of experience, Shaun and Melissa are very hands on. The daycare is run very smoothly. They continue to choose good programs and activities such as yoga, various field trips during the summer camp, visits from the lizards guy etc. to broaden the kids' exposure to new experiences. We feel very fortunate and could not be happier!
S	Sarah Lipi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Words cannot express the thanks that my family has for every Kiddy Junction Academy early childhood teacher and staff person that was part of my son for 1 year. We enrolled at Kiddy Junction Academy in 2013 when John was 3 and a half year old. Since then he has grown and matured into an amazing, intelligent young little man.
T	Twinn Parents on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Since our kids started going to KJA, they have been made to feel welcome and part of this family away from home. We have been more than pleased at the combined efforts of the dedicated teachers who help to draw out our children's shy personalities and help them gain self-confidence despite a language barrier. Everyday, the students are fed a nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack made from scratch by the school's dedicated chef. As working parents, the hours of operation are more flexible than many full-day preschools in Vancouver, and the location and security of the premises are a bonus. Knowing that our children are learning daily in a loving, fun, and caring environment gives us peace of mind in the hours that we are away from them.
A	Adrian Luk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came to Kiddy Junction on a high recommendation from a family friend. The facility and the tour was very nice, we put down a deposit/application fee for our daughter to go on a waiting list. We've only heard back from them once regarding availability and there had been no further communication. Further inquiry regarding the application fee/waiting list submitted using their form on the website also yield no response.
W	Wendy Samson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'm going to preface this review with the disclaimer that our son did not end up attending Kiddy Junction Academy, the reason being that it would add a crazy two hours of commuting to our everyday. With that said, we met with them several times and communicated with them over four months waiting for a space to open up. They were so amazing that we were tempted to brave that commute because of how impressed we were with their directors, teachers, facilities, and philosophy. In the end, we sadly relinquished our spot for this Fall due to the commute, but I wanted to write this to thank them for the time they took touring us through their lovingly curated facilities, and the genuine interest they took in our son...and probably every child that goes through their doors. Their program is remarkable. I witnessed the respect and affection they had for the children, firsthand. We loved how the children ate on real dishes on white linens, slept in a room that is only ever for sleep, the child-led learning based approach to curriculum that constantly changes based on the childrens' ever-evolving interests, and last but not least, the empathy and support we, as the parents, felt from them. Honestly, if this place is an option for you, it's definitely worth checking out. It really felt like something special.
a	aaron mok on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Terrible experience for my son. Do not, I repeat DO NOT let your kid attend this school if you know that he/she will need extra help. My son was left to cry on his own without anyone to comfort him. All the teacher did was sit at the sofa and constantly complaining about how he was a handful. We switched school the moment we could and I didn't even hear a single complain from his new school. Plus, the KDJ isn't exactly kids friendly, they have real hammer, nails, screws the whole set, that a typical 3-4 year old have no business being ten foot near the stuff yet alone play with it. All in all no parents should experience what I went through. Do not be fooled by their cool uniforms. The service provided is just not up to par and a kid first experience going to school should not have been like that. I just hope there's a zero star so I can rate them on what they truly are. A big fat ZERO!
