My son has attended Captain Alpha for the past 2 years and my daughter for the past 6 months. We can’t even begin to say how grateful we are with teacher Emaly and Tracy’s attentive care, especially since my son suffers from severe eczema and a number of food allergies. Never once do we feel anxious leaving him under their care. The kids became such eloquent mandarin speakers, they learn about the Chinese culture and holidays, and always look forward to going to school in the morning. Highly recommend this wonderful daycare!

Our son joined Captain Alpha Childcare when he was 2.5 yrs old. As a new mum returning to work, it was so reassuring to have Emaly as her carer. She is wonderful! She has so many fun activities to educate and engage the children. She makes yummy meals and healthy soup for kids. Her house is beautiful and so clean! She keeps you updated during the day with a great app so I always knew how my son day had gone. I was always happy to drop my son off knowing he was in safe hands. I was so sad that we had to leave but my son is turning 5. I adore this daycare and the kids adore the teacher there too.

We have been in and out of 2 other day cares before reaching out to Captain Alpha. Teacher Emaly and her staff are amazing and have been teaching my daughter the Chinese language since she was 2.5 years old, now she is 3 and loves reading in Chinese and is excited to go to school and learn and play with her buddies. Teacher Emaly goes way beyond our expectations as a teacher and is always surprising us with the amount of new crafty ideas and my daughter is always coming home with a new set of skills that makes both my wife and I very happy. We are also learning through the school how to deal with certain situations that our daughter goes through and we love that teacher Emaly is able to communicate her concerns to us openly. I would highly recommend her school to any parent that wants their child to get next level education and upmost sincere care. My child is growing up to want to do her own things and feeling more confident as an individual. Thank you so much teacher Emaly.

This childcare center is very clean and the teachers are very patient and attentive. They teach the kids by using enlightenment education, ways like multi-story telling, picture-talking, logical thinking training, etc...and they have Chinese reading class 讀經班every Friday too.
