After more than four wonderful years at St. Barnaba's, our kids have now aged out, and saying…read moregoodbye brought me to tears. This place has meant so much to our family. It's been more than just a daycare, it's been a part of our lives, our routine, our village. The love, care, and warmth our kids received from the incredible staff is something we'll carry with us forever. St. Barnaba's has truly been a safe, joyful, and nurturing space where our kids were able to grow, learn, and thrive. The team there are nothing short of angels -- kind, dedicated, and full of heart. We're so deeply thankful for everything you've done for our family. You've made a lasting impact, and we'll always hold this chapter close to our hearts.

My daughter took her first steps at the daycare and we have so many positive memories! My children feel that some of the staff our like family to us. The manager was extremely helpful and accommodating with us over the years with any challenges we faced. We were very sad to have to move when my son aged out. That would be my only complaint, I wish they could accommodate a longer out of school care program!

I am so grateful for the teachers' and owner, Ms. Edith, 's hard work at this school, especially throughout the pandemic when I had so many worries about safety. They always try their best to attend to the children's needs by providing a well-designed learning environment. My son would often come home with fun stories, arts, and practice sheets that he has gained so many social and academic skills. The teachers go above and beyond; I love the updates and photos they send in the app. Also, I love their outside playground, partly covered, so that kids can play outside even when it heavily rains without soaking in the water. My son has experienced significant advancements in his manners at home and his continued growth. Ms. Edith is a great communicator, an experienced educator, an excellent source for the parents. I am so, so grateful for Fraser Montessori. If you're looking for a daycare with great people and the best care, this is an excellent place for you and your family to check out.

They have both been attending since August 2015. They both like it there. My daughter always has good things to say about the owner, Miss Edith. She has the opportunity to work on art projects after school, which she loves. My son (who has just turned 4 years old) has been learning to read and write the alphabet and can now write his name. He has also been able to develop his artistic skills. Miss Edith is almost always available to talk to if I have any concerns or questions about the progress of my children's learning. The classrooms are very clean and well organized. There are many stimulating activities for the kids to engage in depending on their interests and level of learning. The kids have show and tell every Friday, which my son loves. He has really developed socially over the last 6 months as well. The centre is open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm which works perfectly for my schedule as I work on Vancouver, which gives me plenty of time to get to work after drop-off and to get back after work even if there is a traffic jam.

Really struggled to find daycare for my young son when I lived in North Burnaby, and had to drive…read moreall over to get him back and forth to school, daycare, etc. K and behold, when I see there's daycare at the end of my street, I'm excited! Talk to the owner of the daycare a few times before we meet, and it's a bit hectic because spots fill exceptionally fast here, its so close to Nelson Elementary. Prices were very reasonable for before and after school care (I paid twice as much in North Burnaby for for less), and pro-D days are covered (unless there are strike days... Don't get me started). The space is divided between school aged kids on one side, and the younger ones on the other, so the toys and care are different. Huge space, large fenced back play area, support for homework, open and frequent communication... I'm thrilled with this daycare and hope to use it for many years to come.

According to my daughter, on August 19, 2025, around 11:00 a.m., she and two other children were left unsupervised in the bathroom while the staff took the rest of the children outside. What concerns me most is that this incident was not reported to parents, nor, to my knowledge, reported to Fraser Health as required by licensing regulations. I respectfully request a formal investigation into the following: The circumstances surrounding this incident and why children were left unsupervised. The identity of the staff members responsible. The reason the centre failed to disclose or report the incident to parents and to Fraser Health. As a parent, I place great trust in licensed childcare facilities to ensure the safety and supervision of all children and to comply with mandatory reporting requirements. The lack of transparency in this case raises serious concerns about the center's supervision practices and adherence to regulatory standards. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and to learning what steps will be taken to ensure that such incidents do not occur again. Sincerely A
