Bramblewood Montessori Preschool offers child care services for preschoolers and infants in the Coquitlam area. We also offer school age care for students from Kindergarten to Grade 5. For more than a decade, we have assisted parents with the overall development of their child by creating a secure and comfortable learning environment in which they can grasp new concepts and values.
The Society of Richmond Children's Centres was founded in 1995 by a small group of community volunteers. The Society opened its first children's centre in Terra Nova in 1996. Since that date, the Society has opened the Cook Road and the Bowling Green Road Children's Centres. A dedicated group of community and family members make up our board of directors and oversee the operation of the Society.
At KinderKampus, education means the development of the whole child – cognitively, socially, emotionally, and physically. Education prepares children to live and function in society and to reach their goals using their full potential. We believe in structured programs that encourage exploration and participation while focusing on learning.
