Bonnycastle Childcare Services is located in Surrey, British Columbia and was founded in 1991 by Fenella and Terry De Vaz. It started as a family daycare and eventually grew into a group daycare. Due to the quality of our services we were encouraged by parents to open additional childcare centres. We are a leading provider of daycare, montessori education, and early childhood education services. Our staff and childcare centres provide a safe, inclusive learning environment enriched with values. We understand that each child is uniquely individual and deserving of a daycare environment that encourages social interaction, intellectual growth, curiosity, and learning. We help each child to reach their full potential by allowing them to experiment and express their own individuality.

AMI was started in 1929 by Maria Montessori, the founder of the Montessori philosophy. The training today closely follows the original work of Maria Montessori, started over 100 years ago. At Morgan Creek Montessori, we pride ourselves with our high level of training and dedication to the Montessori philosophy.
