A	Amrita Kaur Sandhu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'm what many would call a helicopter mom. I was very hesitant to enrol my son (which was about two years ago) at any centre because I feared for the worst. Two years later I am so glad that I made the decision to enrol my son into JK2 at Smilestones South Surrey because I have only positive things to say about this centre. Any time there were particular hiccups along the way - they were addressed in a collaborative and reasonable manner. Smilestones has been a huge pillar of support for not only my children's development but I've found it to be a nurturing and welcoming environment for myself as well. Good hearted people who are born to be in the profession they're currently doing come few and far between and that is the experience I've had with my daughter in JK1 and my son in JK3. The genuine care, patience, and level of expertise is the reason I feel content dropping my kids off here everyday. I know my kids are receiving the best care and junior kindergarten education so I have the peace of mind that I can trust this centre and the teachers to do their best with each and every student.
S	Sadia Mahboob on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great location, okay staff, not a pleasant atmosphere overall. Teachers are very good at complaining instead of correcting (or atleast trying different ways) their behavior towards kids. it does not do anyone any favor when a toddler is often singled out and punished. The talented staff in Smilestone starts conversation in negative manner. Positive reinforcement is not in their dictionary. No cooperation for drop off, not welcoming. Star is definitely for the location and few passionate young staff.
M	Mommy Of 2 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We have been a part of Smilestones for the past 3 years as both of my children have attended this amazing preschool. I literally can't say enough about this place and have recommended it to many other families in the community. The facility itself is impressive. It is spacious, bright, and clean with lots of natural light, large classrooms, indoor play area, a gym, and an art room. It is filled with interesting and natural toys and materials that are rotated often. The owner is very attentive and knowledgeable and the teachers are always enthusiastic, kind, and creative. My children are eating vegetables now thanks to their healthy meals they provide. The uniform is a nice touch and has made getting ready in the morning much easier. Thank you, Smilestones, for providing such a wonderful place for my children to learn and grow!
C	Cute.As. Ducks on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a terrible place to work. There's no support for employees. If you have a concern, management doesn't listen, and there is no respect. The manager seems nice at first, but she is selfish and does not care about how her ECE's are feeling/doing. She only cares about families (aka money coming in). Very stressful work environment. Some ECE's get breaks and some don't, even though they work the exact same shift. Definitely some discrimination going on there. Low pay, only 2 sick days/year, no paid vacation until after a year of work, and the benefits are horrible. You have to pay $350/month to opt in and they don't even tell you what your coverage will be. RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! Trust me.
6	604DashCam1986 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My daughter went to this daycare in the past and on several occasions when i went to pick her up she wet herself and none of the other teachers had noticed. I feel as though she have not learn much at this daycare and the curriculum could be improved. The care for the children here is very poor and I wouldnt recommend to anybody.
D	Dianne Polanco on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been with Smilestones for almost 5 years now and wouldn't work anywhere else. Management as been amazing since day 1, they listen to our concerns, and always cares about the employees to make sure that they are feeling supported to the best that they can. Our team is full of very talented, passionate, respectful and hard working educators. The environment is always full of positive energy and is very warm and welcoming. Trust me when I say, We have an amazing team here at Smilestones! We're not just colleagues, We're Family.
E	E C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’m glad I chose this facility for my children. My older one spent three years in the program and he loved it. Well communication with teachers and the management. Teachers are patient, friendly and helpful. There are some large indoor/outdoor space for children to explore. A very good program. Thank you for helping my kids grow!
J	Jade Brown on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was a teacher at Smilestones for about three years before I moved out of the area and sadly had to leave. Management and staff are amazing and they truly do make the school feel like a family. I started my teaching career at Smilestones and learned so much from all of the talented and caring teachers. They are not only knowledgeable, but you can tell how much they love what they do by their work and how they go above and beyond for the children/families. I cannot express enough how much I love (and miss) Smilestones! If you’re looking for a childcare centre for your child, or are a teacher looking for a great place of work, this is the school for you!
