Enjoy Learning Childcare has been part of Maple Ridge for over 12 years, known for warm, home-style care with the structure families need. They specialise in small-group settings where each child receives focused attention, and their licensed in-home centre maintains a capacity under provincial guidelines so ratios are consistently low. It’s the kind of place neighbours recommend when they want nurturing, reliable care close to home.

Their core services cover infant, toddler and preschool programs, plus before- and after-school care. Infants enjoy individual sleep and feeding routines; toddlers follow play-based learning with sensory tables, messy art and built-in outdoor time; preschoolers work on early literacy and numeracy with leveled readers and counting games. The centre uses the BC Early Learning Framework to guide weekly plans, and supplies age-appropriate materials, nap cots, diapers and daily progress notes via a parent app. They also offer occasional school-readiness checklists and mid-year parent-teacher chats.

What they do well is simple: they observe, adapt and communicate. Staff hold valid licensing, current first aid with infant CPR, and ongoing early childhood education certificates. Daily routines balance free play and guided activities, and caregivers write brief, specific observations that inform each child’s plan. Drop-off is calm, pick-up includes a short update, and the manager is reachable by phone or text for quick questions. You’ll meet familiar faces each day, not rotating staff, which helps with trust and developmental continuity.

Families choose Enjoy Learning Childcare because it feels local and personal, while still following professional standards. They participate in community events at Maple Ridge libraries and host seasonal family potlucks, so children and parents build real connections.
