Our Kids & Company Richmond centre is located near Cambie Road and Shell Road. We have 4 classrooms that can accommodate up to 96 children ranging from infant to 5 years. One of the first things you will notice about our Richmond centre is the colourful and bright classrooms which create a warm and nurturing environment. Our centre has a large playground and great outdoor space for playing games, chalk art and exploring nature. Whether we are collecting leaves, splashing in rain puddles or engaging in our physical education, our children enjoy the playground all year round! We have a fantastic team of teachers who take both pleasure and pride in seeing each child reach their next milestone as they grow and transition from one classroom to the next.

Meet the Director
My name is Thaisbher Aguilar and I am the Director at the Kids & Company Richmond centre. I am a recipient of an Early Childhood Education diploma from Vancouver Career College and also have Montessori Training. In addition, I have a Bachelor of Accounting from the University of Venezuela. I am passionate about child care and have been working in the field for over 11 years. To tell you a bit more about myself, I am happily married to my husband Jorge and we have one child, Manolo. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, crafts and embroidery. I love working at the Richmond centre because it is a fun, creative and warm learning environment to be in. My favourite part of the day is when I walk by a classroom and hear our students laughing and enjoying themselves. That is what learning and growing are all about!
Kids & Company’s Infant program welcomes newborns up to roughly 18 months. Infants learn about the world around them through their senses, so exploration is critical to their development. Nurturing educators support the children while they take in their surroundings, encouraging them to experience everything the classroom offers; be it creative art, exploring with blocks, listening to songs or engaging in story-time. Our infant program encourages children to follow their own established routines, while becoming comfortable and secure in a new group setting.
Kids & Company’s Toddler program is for children between the ages of roughly 18 months and 2.5 years. Toddlers are mobile and eager to explore their environment. As they strive for independence, our educators use an Emergent curriculum approach to learning that supports each child’s individuality. Some of the most important learning outcomes of our toddler program are language development, socialization, self-help skills, and the development of fine and gross motor skills.
Kids & Company’s Preschool program is designed for children between the ages of roughly 2.5 - 5 years. Our educators interact, observe and interpret the interests of our children to encourage discoveries. Our Preschool program provides a foundation for developing greater independence and problem-solving skills; the program integrates new concepts into our children’s world view, promotes sharing and mutual respect, and prepares them for Kindergarten.
