My son has been attending Parasol (Brock location) for a year now and I couldn't be happier with the experience and care he receives.

RIVER CITY EARLY LEARNING CENTRE REVIEWS

River City is the best day care we have found in Kamloops. The employees are awesome; my son talks about how much fun he has with individual staff daily. Management seems to have a great working relationship as they are always there. The River City team treats our son with respect and allows him to be himself while still teaching him concepts of life. He comes home with stories and different activities to hang on our wall on the daily! River City doesn’t stay inside either: nature walks are regular and the kids are always outside. I don’t pick my son up at the door.. I pick him up at the play area, outside. We have gone through quite a few Child Care entities.. this is the right fit and will be for our next child on the way.

This center is truly home away from home. The owner Amber and the rest of the river city team have become a family to my daughter. We have been there since the day it opened, and I am so grateful my daughter gets to be apart of this wonderful facility that has always taken care of her with the best care. It is outdoor based which means the children spend alot of time exploring outside on nature walks, and going on field trips. I could not recommend this daycare enough. My daughter will be going there until she no longer needs childcare!.

My son has been at River City Early Learning Centre from the beginning and they are amazing. My little one enjoys all of the employees as they are super attentive to the kids. We get photos sent to us on a regular basis when they are doing activities or something cute. They are always on the go playing outside, going for walks or field trips. They even celebrate every child's birthday which makes it a special place. I would highly reccomend them to anyone looking for an amazing place to send their little ones.

KAMLOOPS KIDZ (ORCHARDS WALK CAMPUS) REVIEWS

I Highly recommend Kamloops Kidz! Sandra and the staff are excellent to deal with and are great with the children. Both my kids really loved their experience here & always came home with new songs and stories about their day. They took the utmost caution through COVID-19 and really truly care about the health and safety of the children.

My daughter who is 19 months now goes Pineview location since 14months old, she loves there! It’s so nice to see her gets so excited to see her friends and teacher. They looks after her so great! We couldn’t meet so many people since covid, but after she started to attend daycare she was more outgoing and not to shy to new people.

My son LOVES his new daycare! He doesn't have many words but he sure is learning! The staff have taken every precaution for Covid and I feel safe taking my son there. The kids are always learning and having fun!!.
