Reviews
Has a better preschool ever existed? When searching for the right fit for our family, I toured and interviewed close to two dozen places before landing at Mosaic. The moment you walk into the space it is like you are bringing your child "home". Clean, bright, briefly educational materials and toys, and extremely kind and gentle nurturing female teachers. If you are a parent who has not had care for your child outside your home, you will not for a moment worry when you bring them to Mosaic. A truly magical and educational place. Our daughter is thriving here and we were so worried she would not want to go to school... she looks forward to it every day! How lucky are we to have a placement here. Thank you for the teachers employed who clearly love their job and take pride in making this memorable (and an easy transition) for us all.
Mosaic has been an amazing "first school" experience! The teachers and staff have gone above and beyond to provide lots of exciting enrichment opportunities. Our daughter is so excited to go to school every day! Beyond the classroom, Mosaic has done a wonderful job of fostering a true sense of community. Coming from outside of Vancouver, this built-in community has been a foundational piece in helping our whole family settle in. The teachers have been tuned in to the specific needs of our child and family: open and consistent communication and support have helped us all navigate changes, large and small. While our time at Mosaic is brief in the grand scheme of our child's education, I truly believe that this collaborative relationship based in the students' best interests has set both our child and us as caregivers up for success in all stages of future schooling.
Mosaic is a wonderful pre-school. Our son has loved his time there. The classroom is beautifully set up and the range of activities they get up to from yoga to music to chick hatching to animal visits is quite amazing! The teachers are all genuinely caring and supportive; it is a positive learning environment. I love the monthly newsletters and photo feedback to see how much fun they’ve all had. Thanks for a great year!
Mosaic is a wonderful environment for children! From the moment we walked in, we felt a sense of warmth and care. The teachers are incredibly patient, creative, and truly invested in each child's growth. Our child has blossomed socially and academically since starting here! The classroom environment is clean, safe, and full of engaging activities. We especially appreciate the regular communication from the staff and the monthly newsletters and photos. You can tell they put their heart into everything they do. We’re so grateful to Mosaic!
