3 Best Preschools in Vancouver, BC

We are so grateful for Little Oak Montessori. Our son attended from ages 3-5 (initially Heather location, then South Cambie location). He was excited to go to school every morning and was always full of smiles when we picked him up . His teachers were genuinely kind, caring, and enthusiastic about teaching. We were constantly impressed by his academic progress (reading, writing, math, etc). More importantly, there was emphasis on building good character/virtues and we are so proud of the kind and considerate boy he has become. Thanks to Little Oak Montessori, our son was accepted into our first choice kindergarten program and we know he is well prepared for the next stage. The school was well organized and maintained regular communication with us about our son. The teachers always listened to us and worked with us when there was a concern. We always felt reassured that our son was in excellent and capable hands. We also became good friends with the other parents and it has been so joyful to build community. Overall, we strongly recommend Little Oak Montessori for anyone looking for a positive and nurturing pre-kindergarten experience. If I could give 11/10, I would!.

We absolutely love Little Oak Montessori! The teachers are warm, patient, and truly dedicated to the children’s growth and development. The Montessori approach is thoughtfully applied, encouraging independence, curiosity, and a love for learning. Our child has blossomed both socially and academically since joining. The environment is safe, nurturing, and beautifully prepared. We feel so grateful to be part of the Little Oak community!.

My daughter just graduated from Little Oak Montessori, and I feel so lucky that we found this wonderful school for her. She truly loved her time there. The teachers are so kind, patient, and incredibly caring. They created such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment, and we are so grateful for all the love and support they gave her. It’s sad to say goodbye, but we will always remember Little Oak with a full heart. Highly recommend!.

My daughter has been attending Pomme d'Api for 1.5 years now and she absolutely adores it. She started when she was 2.5 and is now 4, and with no French at home, I'm stunned with how much she knows. A lot of the French learning is supported by songs, stories, and circle time, which she recites to me everyday at home. She says it's OK that I don't speak French, she will teach me! The teachers and community are incredible - so safe, warm, and welcoming. I love volunteering for the school and helping out when and where I can. It's been hugely rewarding being apart of my daughter's early learning experience and creating connections with other families. I already have my 1.5 year old on a waitlist for next year. I HIGHLY recommend Pomme d'Api to anyone who wants effective early exposure to French for their little one, values gentle teachers, and is a team player who can volunteer a few hours a month to support the school's operations. Amazing place to start a child's learning journey.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Pomme D'api for our daughter. The teachers - Madame Eugenia and Madame Amisha are the most patient teachers I have ever met. They truly understand the delicacies of this age group and don't force any methods that stresses out the parents and the children. Everything is taught with love and patience, and it is extremely effective for the children. We don't live in East van and still travel from the west side so that our daughter can attend their classes. The outside space is also secured and gated in an open area; I feel safe for my daughter to play around in the yard with lots of toys and equipment. The parent and teacher community is awesome, really close knit and parents volunteer to contribute to a better school. This is a great school to expose your kids to French at a young age; great teachers, great vibes, great atmosphere.

My daughter has been attending Pomme d'Api since last September and we couldn't be happier, our son will start in a few months. The teachers are incredible with kids and the fact that is a French Immersion school has helped my kid a lot to learn a new language!.
