  • "So fortunate that my daughter has been able to attend this program, Teacher Lara is awesome, truly caring, engaging and lots of fun! She always has lots of fun activities for the kids and I know my child is in good hands when she is there. Love that the kids are able to play, learn and grow in such a beautiful environment, there couldn't be a better neighbourhood to have an outdoor learning program! A gem of an opportunity for the kids!"

  • "They are really kind and patience with kids and babies. My son has 18 months and he is starting his social experience with other kids, at Lagunitas, Lara and Laia. He is so much talkative than before (with his own words), more calm, now he wants to do more things in his own. Really love this program."

  • "Our daughter has been attending Lagunitas for the past five months, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the environment felt welcoming, nurturing, and safe — exactly what we were hoping for in an outdoor daycare. The teachers are truly exceptional. They’re warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth. We love how they engage the kids through outdoor play, nature-based learning, and hands-on activities that encourage curiosity and independence. We’ve noticed so much positive development in our daughter since she started. Her motor skills have improved significantly — she’s more confident climbing, balancing, and exploring. We’re also seeing big strides in her social skills...

  • "Teacher Lara, she’s one of the most caring, kindest and thoughtful educators I’ve come across. She is truley passionate about being with children and you can see it through her care. The activities and adventures the children go on are endless, they have so much fun exploring the forest and utilizing nature as a place to learn. My son absolutely adores teacher Lara, I drop him off without any worries. He often brings her up throughout the week and can’t wait to be back at preschool. She’s made quite an impact in this family! I couldn’t have hand picked a better educator to support my child."

  • “Teacher Lara was one of the very first teachers for our 2 year old daughter. For the past 6 months, Lara has been an amazing educator and a caring guide for our daughter. She talks about teacher Lara every day, so it feels like the closest thing to a village or family. I highly recommend this child care!"

  • “Teacher Lara is an incredibly loving and dedicated educator! My child eagerly runs to her every day, excited for the different adventures she takes them on, each with its own educational theme. She beautifully combines the benefits of outdoor learning in Stanley Park with a nurturing indoor environment at her home. Lara’s patience and care shine through in the daily vlogs she creates, where she shares videos and photos with parents, keeping us all connected to our children’s experiences. She’s also incredibly easy to deal with, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Teacher Lara to any parent looking for a balanced, enriching, and truly caring environment for their child."
