Natacha V. Beim established Core Education & Fine Arts (CEFA), Canada's first junior kindergarten school, in 1998. Our full day early learning program is designed for infants and children up to five years old. The enriched curriculum features a unique partnership of core subjects, such as Reading and Math, with fine arts, including Drama and Yoga, providing children with the freedom to learn and grow through play.
My 18 month old just started at cefa Langley a couple of weeks ago, and in this short time I have seen her flourish in an astounding way. She is doing art projects, learning songs & dances, and is able to say the words for so many things that I haven't taught her myself. The teacher to student ratio is always well over the government minimum, and it is so relieving to know that she is getting so much attention and love. I cannot wait to watch her grow into the older grades, as I walk by these classrooms I can't believe the things they are doing! The school is so organized all the time, and the curriculum is unbeatable. One of the best things, is that there is an on-site chef who makes all of the children's meals from scratch each day. Chef even caters to the fact that my child is a vegetarian. I guess, in sum, I want to say that there is no better feeling in the world to know that if you can't be with your child, at least you are giving them the best experience available.Read more

I have been working out with Sun Hang Do in Port Coquitlam for just over a year. When I started I had never done anything like it. My exercise since my 40's was chiefly in classes doing weight training and aerobic type exercise at the gym. I was bored with the gym but I needed the discipline imposed by having an instructor and a class time. Mr Mcilmoyl and Mr Park are both incredibly patient (I take longer to learn than the kids!) and knowledgeable instructors. Each class is different and every student is encouraged to do their own personal best. It is an interesting mixture of group workouts and individual skills training. My strength, stamina and flexibility have greatly improved and the brain power required to remember the set skills and patterns will help to stave of dementia. I really enjoy the mix of male and female students aged from 4 years to my 65 years and especially the family groups that come to class together. Mr Park's mixture of gentle but consistent discipline and his innate playfulness has even the most unruly students very quickly participating and loving it. Whatever your fitness level, I encourage you to ask about the free trial classes. I'm really glad I did.Read more
