"Surrounded by oppourtunities to learn and explore and play"

Dear Ginny and Katan,

It is hard for us to accept that today is Sienna's last day at cefa™! We wish that circumstances (work, etc.) were different so that Sienna could have remained with this School.

We cannot even begin to tell you wat an amazing 2 months this has been both for Sienna and for us parents! cefa is more than we could have ever hoped for, for Sienna (and for us too).
We just wanted to THANK YOU and your staff for making Sienna's time with you so memorable. It was more than just a school for all of us. It was a place where we knew Sienna would be well cared for. A place where she can grow and develop and socialize and just be a kid surrounded by oppourtunities to learn and explore and play.

Words cannot describe how indredible Mr. Chen and Ms. Ang are. I know Sienna will miss them most of all.
What a tremendous experience this has been and although it was short, we will never forget Sienna's time with cefa™. If our work circumstances change, we will be re-applying for Sienna to return (fingers crossed!).

Thank you for everything!

Warm regards and all the best,
Cheryl Mar

"Amazing environment that provides educational interaction with fun learning"

cefa™ New Westminster is an amazing environment that provides educational interaction with fun learning. Every time I enter the school the children are all engaged and my 18 mos old son feels so safe that he runs down the hall saying hi to all teachers and can’t wait to take part in that new days activities.
Every special need from dietary to emotional is met and exceeded by not only by my sons classroom instructors but by the surrounding teachers, receptionist and principal. Its simply a school where everyone cares about the well being and comfort of every single child that enters their doors!

"From day one I loved cefa™"

From day one I loved cefa™ due to its clean school setting. The structure of the classroom and activities and the fact that there is a chef on site is what I love about cefa™. no more preparing lunch and snack! And I knew the teachers would be nothing but the best. I know in the past there was mention of too much staff turnover and in the 3 years that my son is at cefa™ there has been a few teachers come and go but I did not see it as negative and it’s just part of life. My son handled it well and he got to know and learn from a number of teachers. When I got a tour of cefa™, I wanted to sit there myself and learn and play so I knew my son would feel the same and love it too.

"She absolutely loves going to school"

My daughter is in the cefa™baby class at the North Vancouver campus. I did extensive research when looking for care for my baby while my husband and I went to work. It had to be safe, structured, educational, loving and most importantly FUN. Since the first day we visited a cefa™ campus, we knew that this is where our baby had to be. Each morning she wakes up and says, “sool, sool, uniform.” She absolutely loves going to school, she is greeted each morning by every staff member and parent in the hallway, by name, she opens the door to the classroom and is then welcomed in with open arms (usually her buddies arms) and then off to play she goes. From day one she hasn’t even noticed that we have left her there. When we pick her up we have to wait for her to stop playing before she comes over, and in some cases we have had to drag her out of there kicking and screaming. Needless to say the weekends are exhausting trying to keep up to cefa™. We all look forward to Monday when she goes back to school because we know she loves it so much and so do we.

"As an educator myself, I value the experience that my son Adam receives at cefa™"

As an educator myself, I value the experience that my son Adam receives at cefa™ New Westminster. Not only is he constantly provided with enriching opportunities to learn, grow, discover, and evolve, he is able to do so with nurturing, compassionate, and devoted teachers. cefa™ has exceeded all our expectations, and has provided our son with boundless opportunities to meet his potential. Perhaps the best part of cefa™ is despite its significant size and enrollment, all staff make a concerted effort to know every child and family. At every opportunity I recommend cefa™ and our experience to those I know with young children.

"The staff and teachers are so friendly and professsional"

We love cefa™because the staff and teachers are so friendly and professional. They are always glad to see us arrive and have a kind word to say. I know I can relax while Nathan is at school because he is in great hands. I don’t have to worry and when we pick him up we hear all about his day. It is difficult to work and leave your little one at daycare but Nathan is learning so much and making new friends. I can see he is really benefitting from his time at cefa™. This makes me very happy to see him having so much fun.

"My son goes to cefababy in North Vancouver and he abolutely loves it"

My son goes to cefa™baby in North Vancouver and he absolutley loves it. He is extremely spirited and the teachers engage, teach and play with him all day. He has grown so much in the past few months and I am very pleased with cefa™ and their systems!

"We feel blessed to have been able to give Noelie the opportunity to learn at cefa™"
 
Dear Natacha,
As her parents, we listened with much pride, joy and gratitude as our daughter Noelie recited the poem "An Epitome of the Triad" by Cleo Victoria Stewart at cefa's Holiday Event on December 16, 2001. Her ability to read the poem off the sheet that her Junior Kindergarten 3 teacher, Ms Forsyth, was holding, was definitely a culmination of everyone's hard work, working in tandem, just like the poem Noelie read "Day after day the teacher toiled/ With a touch that was deft and sure./ While the parent labored in support/ And polished and smoothed it o'er."
We feel blessed to have been able to give Noelie the opportunity to learn at cefa since she was 21 months old, from Junior Kindergarten 1 and through to Junior Kindergarten 2 and 3, and thankful to the teachers for their dedication and hard work. Her acceptance into York House for kindergarten is proof once again of the high educational standards cefa™ has as a preparatory preschool.
We look forward to her graduation from cefa™ with bittersweet joy and appreciative of the joy for learning now instilled in our daughter.
