"Amazing family run daycare! Unfortunately we are moving away from North Vancouver and we’re very sad to leave Zary at ABC. She is extremely loving to our busy little boy, and she treats all the children as though they’re her own. I can’t recommend her enough and will miss her dearly."

"A friend of the family recommended Zary and Max when we first moved back to Vancouver with our 12 month old. Our daughter has been there for about 6 months and we could not be happier. Zary and Max are so caring and you can tell they really love what they do. The children are treated like family and you feel right away that they are in great hands. Being a shift worker my schedule is ever changing and Zary has always been so willing to help whenever we have a need of a change in schedule. Could not recommend them highly enough!"

"Our 16th month old son has been going to ABC Daycare for the past 3 months. He absolutely loves Zary and Max and feels very at home in their purpose built first floor home daycare. They always let us know how he is getting on and bring up anything they notice straight away (like if he’s acting different than usual). As my wife and I both work full time we feel very lucky to have found such a caring environment for our son."

"We are very happy with ABC daycare. Zary and Max are amazing! Our daughter started daycare with them 3 times a week when she was 20 months old. They built a personal connection with her and she was comfortable with them from the very first day. They are very professional. She plays well, eats well, and sleeps well there. She comes home in a very good mood and with just the right level of tiredness :). She really enjoys playing in their nice covered outdoor area in the back yard. We highly recommend ABC daycare!"

I obtained services from this daycare centre / preschool and I find that:

"Our son started with ABC Family Daycare just after his first birthday. I was so nervous about leaving my little guy to go back to work, but Zary and Max are so kind, loving and compassionate by nature, and they have made it so easy on us. My son LOVES going to daycare every morning - he starts screeching with excitement as soon as we pull up outside the daycare!

My number one concern when looking for childcare was to find someone who genuinely loved children and who would make my guy feel happy and safe. I really found that with Zary and Max. Zary always has a run-down of how his day went, and is always excited to point out when he's done something new. I feel like they are invested in my little guy's happiness, growth and development, and I truly feel like I'm leaving him with family.

All of the children are always so happy and Jack has learned so much since starting there. We look forward to many more years with Zary and Max!"

I obtained services from this daycare centre / preschool and I find that:

"Zary and Max at ABC Family Daycare are amazing! They are kind, compassionate, organized and so great with children. My 1 year old son is always so happy when he arrives at daycare each morning. It is easy to see that the kids really love Zary and that she too really loves them.

My son often comes home with new things that he's learnt at daycare - my favourite is the new songs he sings and the actions that go with it. The kids get a lot of reading and outside time too.

Zary gives a daily run down the child's day, from how they ate, slept, diapers and all other relevant information.

I would absolutely recommend ABC Family Daycare for anyone looking for a great, friendly place for their children."

"It is great comfort for my wife and myself with our 1st time using a daycare for our daughter at 12months old.
We couldn't be happier.
The warm welcome and loving nature of both Zary & Max towards our daughter and the other kids makes us feel relived that we have found a home away from home for our daughter.
Our daughter is always happy to arrive and hard to get her to leave as she is always enjoying the time playing inside and out.
The play room and area are clean and many options for the kids to learn and play.
We would highly recommend anyone using this ABC Family Daycare.

"We are so pleased that we were recommended to Zary! This is our first daycare experience and my daughter has been going there since she was almost 1 year. She is now 20 mos. We are absolutely happy and confident leaving our child in the loving, caring home care of ABC daycare. Zary has made our daughter feel loved, welcome and well cared for. My daughter is very happy to go there. Zary and Max have a thoughtful and gentle approach with children. There are many activities, toys and books, and lots of outdoor cars and bikes. I love the more personalized smaller group approach here. Zary goes above and beyond with her relationship and connection with the children. I can't recommend her enough. It's like leaving our child with a close loving family member. I wish every new parent could be so fortunate to find such exceptional care for their young children. Thank you Zary :-)"

As new parents we were of course nervous about how daycare would be for both he and ourselves. We needn't have worried at all. Zary and Max continue to provide a loving environment where our our boy is always smiling as we walk up the path each morning and is running around equally happy at collection each day. It is a weight of our minds to know he is so happy, safe and cared for so well."

This was our family's first daycare experience and my husband, daughter and I couldn't have been more pleased. Zary and her husband Max demonstrated kindness and respect towards all the children. At the end of each day they communicated with either myself or my husband on how Caitlin's day had been. Caitlin felt comfortable going to ABC Family Daycare and was happy at pick up and drop off which was always great to see."

She was very clingy at the time, but connected with Zary and now gives Zary big hugs when she arrives, and blows her kisses every evening when it is time to go (if we can get her to stop playing!)."

"After searching many childcare providers, my hunch was to choose ABC. It was the best decision I could have made. My firstborn has been with Zary from the beginning and now 10 months later, he absolutely loves it. There are days when i cannot get him to leave, he wants to continue to stay. Zary's approach to childcare is a loving, educating, patient atmosphere. She know's exactly what each child needs and i feel at ease leaving my son in her care each day. I would definitely recommend Zary to anyone searching for daycare, she is like an extension of your family and she treats each child as if they are her own."

"It is my daughter's first day care. I was very careful to select the daycare for her because she was very clingy to me. She did cry for the first 3 days. Zary and the other care givers gave her a lot of love. My daugther now loves this place, she find herself very secured staying there, and she is always happy when I pick her up. It's a small family daycare, where the children there can receive the maximum amount of attention. That's why I like this place. By the way, I also love that Zary provides healthy lunches, so I don't need worry about what I'm going to pack for her every day."
