The team is amazing, so attentive and caring—you can tell they truly love what they do. They take each child's interests to heart and incorporate them into daily activities. I love that the teachers regularly document what the children are doing, their interactions, and share these with parents along with pictures and book quotes explaining their behaviors and learning stages. It’s fascinating and shows how much they care about the children's development.My two little ones absolutely enjoy St. Andrew Kim Parish's daycare, and their lives will be so much richer from their experiences here.

Those are just three of the many words we could use to describe the team at St. Andrew Kim Early Childhood Education Centre. We have been very fortunate to have our daughter and now our son enrolled at St. Andrew Kim. Our daughter spent four years here, graduating in 2018, and our son is now in his fourth and final year.
Caring: From day one, the teachers provide a classroom environment that is safe, interactive, engaging, and creative—all valuable foundational building blocks.
Loving: Here’s a quote from one of the teachers: “Taylor is like my son.” When your child is at daycare for 9+ hours a day, knowing that they are in such loving hands is incredibly reassuring.
Future: As Asian parents, academics are very important to us. Initially, we worried about not enrolling our daughter in preschool before kindergarten. However, Cecilia and Agnes reassured us that nourishing the right side of the brain—creativity and imagination—is essential for the development of the left side. Now, our daughter is reading one level above her grade, excelling in math, and is considered the most artistic among her classmates. We are confident that our son will also thrive in school, thanks to the strong foundation the teachers have built for him.

The teachers bring such care and thoughtfulness to the classroom every day, creating a positive environment for exploration, play, and learning. They have developed a program rich in variety—cooking, art, yoga, and many more activities. The classroom is full of ever-changing materials and hands-on toys for children to explore and interact with.
We sincerely thank the team for being such an important part of our son's learning journey.

Jerry was the youngest in his class and had never been in an English-speaking environment before. However, his adaptation period was surprisingly short. The teachers were incredibly kind and friendly, providing bilingual education and working hard to help Jerry overcome separation anxiety. They encouraged him to express his needs boldly and interact confidently with other children.
After just two weeks, Jerry happily asked me to take him to school, which filled my heart with joy! Now, three months later, he has learned to use the restroom and eat by himself, constantly surprises us at home with new English words and songs, and greets his teachers and friends politely. He has formed close bonds with his teachers, and, most importantly, his interests and talents have been nurtured. The teachers eagerly share stories about Jerry's daily activities and creative projects with me, making it a truly unforgettable experience for us as parents.
We are deeply grateful to St. Andrew Kim Education Centre and its wonderful teachers!
