Wundoroo Academy Inc. has been a neighbourhood favourite in Maple Ridge for years, known for its play-based learning and small-group care that helps children flourish. Families choose Wundoroo because of its bright, purpose-built space (over 3,000 square feet of indoor play and learning areas) and its focus on ages 6 months to 5 years, with programmes tailored to each developmental stage.

They offer full-time daycare, part-time spots, and before- and after-school care, plus a summer camp program that runs through July and August. Daily activities include Montessori-influenced practical life exercises, circle time with sensory tables, outdoor play in a secure fenced yard, and weekly music and movement sessions. Meals and snacks follow Canada’s food guidelines, and the centre accommodates allergies and special diets with clear menu planning and staff-trained protocols.

Wundoroo’s approach is practical and hands-on. Caregivers hold Early Childhood Education certifications and additional training in infant CPR and infant/toddler development. The staff-to-child ratios stay under provincial limits to keep groups small and predictable, so each child gets individual attention. Parents receive daily reports through an app with photos and notes, monthly developmental check-ins, and biannual goal reviews so progress is visible and collaborative.

This centre is rooted in Maple Ridge community life. They partner with the local library for storytime visits, take walking field trips to nearby parks, and host seasonal family nights that bring neighbours together. Parents cite the warm, familiar faces at drop-off and the clear communication from directors as reasons they stayed long term. If you want a practical, personable daycare where children explore, build routines, and feel known, Wundoroo Academy Inc. is a reliable local choice.
