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.

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.
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.
Choosing Kiddy Junction Academy was the right decision for my child. Although my daughter has only been here for less than a month, both my daughter and I feel a warm welcome from all the staffs of the academy. During the first month of school, my daughter has learned a lot. She now becomes more independent and takes more responsibility at home than before. Every day when my daughter comes home, she has some exciting and fun stories to tell me about things than happened at school. My daughter has met many new friends at the academy already and she likes the staffs as well.
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.
