Are you exploring early education and child care options for your child in downtown Port Moody? Here’s why you should consider Kids & Company: Kids & Company Port Moody has bright, sunny classrooms with huge windows looking into our learning spaces. We are located on Brew Street, close to Inlet Park and the library. At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn through play philosophy. We’re very proud of our proprietary programs! They include Alpha-Mania (pre-literacy and early reading), Mini Masters (art), and Munchkinetics (movement) and are designed to engage our children in a learning process that encourages self-expression, creativity, coordination and most importantly, fun! We often hear children singing the Alpha-Mania theme song before the teacher even begins the lessons, a clear indication of their enthusiasm about learning through play. You’ll find sign language in our baby and toddler rooms, and all our children participate in music, French, science & exploration and creative play throughout our day. Does your family have an untraditional or rotating work schedule? Not to worry, we’ll work with you to accommodate your needs! More than just daycare, we offer flexible child care and early education to help families achieve a greater work-life balance.
There is 4 hour street parking outside of the building and also 3 hour parking underground *This system is being evaluated and pay turn into pay parking in the future.
Meet The Director
My name is Yam Pangeni and I am the Centre Director at the Kids & Company Port Moody location. I have a Master’s in Education and have been working at Kids & Company since 2015. I have always had a passion for working with children of all ages.
I am happily married to my wife Gayatree and the father of two boys, Yugal and Yash. In my spare time, I like to research the field of child learning and psychology. I love reading books, watching movies with families and play some games with my boys.
The Kids & Company Port Moody centre is very spacious with a beautiful outside play area and a very friendly team of educators. Our team works together to provide the best possible care to the children.
My goal is to provide and safe and sound learning environment for all of the Port Moody children. Now that you know a bit more about me, it would be my pleasure to meet you and give you a tour of our Port Moody centre. Come see for yourself how Kids & Company can provide quality care and education for your child.
At Kids & Company, we work with your family to ensure that the transition is a smooth one. Before your child’s first day, we’ll provide information on what to expect. We’ll create an integration schedule that is right for your child and every day that your child is in the classroom, you’ll receive a daily report that lets you know how your child’s day was. You’ll also be able to see him or her on our in classroom web cameras. The Centre Director will even send you an email before the end of the day if your child has a special “wow” moment that day.
Toddlers learn best in the context of relationships within small groups. There are fewer distractions and children’s activities are more focused. In Kids & Company toddler classrooms, our small groups allow very young children to make connections, form caring relationships, and learn to understand other children.
All two-year-olds examine everything they see, hear, feel and observe in an attempt to make sense of the world around them. In our preschool programs, Kids & Company teachers interact, observe and interpret the interests of preschool students to encourage further discoveries by planning activities and investigations that expand your child’s learning.
Kids & Company develops and fosters the potential in every child through an enriched, nurturing and safe early learning environment. At Kids & Company we believe in learning through play.
Kids & Company runs comprehensive kindergarten programs designed for children who are 4 or 5 years old (junior and senior kindergarten age) to prepare them for Grade 1. Using emergent curriculum techniques to adapt to the children’s’ interests and skills, we set a foundation of early literacy, numeracy, artistry, and the construction of relationships and ideas. Kindergarten programs are integrated into full-time child care to provide convenience and continuity.
For the time being, our in-centre birthday party and other live events will temporarily not be available. If you require any information on future bookings or have any questions, please reach out to Christie atcwhite@kidsandcompany.com
