Laugh and Learn Daycare has been caring for Maple Ridge children for over 12 years, and what families notice first is how naturally playful learning fits into every hour. Known locally for its bright, home-like centre on 2,400 square feet of indoor play space plus a fenced outdoor yard, Laugh and Learn specialises in early childhood programs for infants, toddlers and preschoolers that balance curiosity with routine.

They offer full-day care, part-time spots, and a morning-only preschool program that follows a weekly theme—things like “garden science” and “neighbourhood helpers.” Specific features parents ask about include small group sizes (maximum 8 infants per room, 10 toddlers), daily bilingual story time, and a drop-off app that shares photos and daily reports. Meals are provided for full-day children, with menus posted weekly and a nut-aware policy in place.

The team includes Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) with provincial certifications and an onsite infant-care specialist who holds pediatric first aid and CPR. Teachers rotate through guided activities such as sensory tables, fine-motor stations and emergent literacy circles, and they document progress with portfolios so parents can see learning milestones. Staff receive ongoing training in positive behaviour guidance and inclusive practice, which shows up in calm transition routines and respectful communication with children.

Families choose Laugh and Learn not just for the program but for the community feel. They host seasonal family nights, a volunteer-led clothing swap and neighbourhood walks to the nearby park, which helps kids learn about Maple Ridge while parents build friendships. If you want a daycare that treats your child as a whole person and keeps you informed every day, Laugh and Learn is worth a visit.
