What ages does Lions Park Montessori care for?

The provincial record for Lions Park Montessori has no age groups filled in. That means the operator has not completed this part of its entry, not that the facility serves no children of a given age. Phone 604-306-0760 and ask directly which age groups it is licensed for and currently taking.

How do I contact Lions Park Montessori?

The Province's record lists Lions Park Montessori at 50 2789 Shaughnessy St, Port Coquitlam, V3C 3H1, with the phone number 604-306-0760. Phone numbers in this dataset are supplied by the operator and can change without the record being updated.

Does Lions Park Montessori take part in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative?

Yes. The provincial dataset records Lions Park Montessori as participating in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative as of 2026-09-07. Participating facilities receive provincial funding to lower the fees they charge parents. The reduction amount depends on the care type and is set by the Province, so ask the facility what its fees are after the reduction is applied.

Does Lions Park Montessori have space available?

As of 2026-07-06, the operator reported open spaces for under 3 years, 30 months to school age. That figure is self-reported and is only as current as the date beside it, so treat it as a reason to phone rather than as a space held for you.

Q: Is Lions Park Montessori a licensed childcare facility?

Lions Park Montessori appears in the Province of British Columbia's Child Care Map data as a Licensed Group facility, in the copy of that dataset fetched on 2026-09-07. A group facility is licensed to care for children in a purpose-run setting rather than a private home. Fraser Health inspects it, and the Child Care Licensing Regulation sets the staff-to-child ratios, group sizes, space per child and staff qualifications it has to meet. Licences are issued and enforced by Fraser Health's Community Care Facilities Licensing program, not by this directory, so confirm current status with Fraser Health before you rely on it.

Lions Park Montessori is recorded by the Province of British Columbia as a group facility at 50 2789 Shaughnessy St in Port Coquitlam. Everything below comes from the Province's Child Care Map data, fetched 2026-09-07, and most of it is supplied by the operator rather than verified.

Open spaces, as reported by the operator

On 2026-07-06, Lions Park Montessori reported open spaces for under 3 years, 30 months to school age.

Operators update this field themselves and many do so rarely. Treat it as a reason to phone, not as a space held for you.

Before you phone

What the provincial record does not say

Operators fill in their own entry in the Province's Child Care Map, and most leave parts of it blank. A blank field records one thing only: that nobody filled it in. The centre may well offer it. These are the details this record cannot answer for you, and what to ask on the phone.

Age groups
The record does not say which ages Lions Park Montessori is licensed for. Ask which age groups it takes, whether it has a separate infant and toddler programme, and at what age a child moves between rooms.
Hours
No hours are recorded. Ask for the opening and closing times, whether there is early drop-off or late pick-up, and what the late fee is.
Languages
No languages are recorded beyond English. If a second language matters to you, ask which languages the educators speak with the children day to day, and how often.
Meals
Nothing is recorded about food. Ask whether meals and snacks are included, whether they cost extra, and how allergies are handled.
Supported child development
The record does not indicate support for children who need extra help. If that applies to your child, ask directly about the facility's experience and whether it works with a supported child development consultant.
Website
No website is recorded for Lions Park Montessori. Most family providers and many smaller centres do not run one, so a phone call is usually the only way to get current fees and waitlist information.

Licence

What a Licensed Group licence means

A group facility is licensed to care for children in a purpose-run setting rather than a private home. Fraser Health inspects it, and the Child Care Licensing Regulation sets the staff-to-child ratios, group sizes, space per child and staff qualifications it has to meet.

A licence is issued and enforced by Fraser Health's Community Care Facilities Licensing program. To confirm that Lions Park Montessori holds a current licence, or to read what inspectors have recorded there, search Fraser Health's public database rather than relying on this page. Fraser Health is the authority, and its record takes priority over anything in this directory.

The rules that apply here

What the law requires of a group facility

The Province's dataset records the licence category but not the care programme, and a group facility may hold more than one. These are the programmes a group facility is most likely to run, with the group sizes and staffing each one requires.

Group Child Care (Under 36 Months)

Maximum group: 12 children, with a separate area designated for each group

4 or fewer: One infant and toddler educator
5 to 8: One infant and toddler educator and one other educator
9 to 12: One infant and toddler educator, one other educator and one assistant

Group Child Care (30 Months to School Age)

Maximum group: 25 children, with no more than 2 under 36 months in a single group

8 or fewer: One educator
9 to 16: One educator and one assistant
17 to 25: One educator and two assistants

Preschool (30 Months to School Age)

Maximum group: 20 children

10 or fewer: One educator
11 to 20: One educator and one assistant

Multi-Age Child Care

Maximum group: 8 children, no more than 3 under 36 months

8 or fewer: One educator

The building itself

3.7 m² of usable indoor floor area per child: Measured excluding hallways, built-in storage, bathrooms and large fixed appliances. A room holding 16 children needs at least 59.2 m² of usable space.
6 m² of outdoor play area per child: Where a facility runs more than one programme, the yard is sized against the programme with the largest permitted group. The whole area must be enclosed suitably for the children's ages.
One toilet and wash basin per 10 children or fewer: They must be on the same floor as the facility.
A separate sleeping area away from activity areas: Required wherever the programme cares for any child under 36 months.
Water no hotter than 49°C anywhere a child can reach: Applies to all heated water accessible to children.

These are legal minimums that apply to every facility in this category in British Columbia, including Lions Park Montessori. Many facilities staff and equip themselves well above them, and this page reports only the floor, since the Province’s dataset records nothing about how any individual facility operates. Fraser Health inspects against these rules and publishes what it finds.

Funding

What a family could claim at a group facility

These are the maximum monthly amounts the Province publishes for this licence category. What a particular family receives is calculated by the ministry against its own tables, and the Affordable Child Care Benefit is income tested. Treat both as ceilings set by the Province. What Lions Park Montessori charges is a separate figure, and only the facility can tell you what it is.

Situation	Affordable Child Care Benefit	Fee Reduction Initiative
Child under 19 months	up to $1,250 a month	up to $900 a month
Child 19 to 36 months	up to $1,060 a month	up to $900 a month
Child 36 months to school age	up to $550 a month	up to $545 a month
Licensed preschool	up to $225 a month	up to $95 a month

The Province's dataset records Lions Park Montessori as participating in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, so its published fee should already have that reduction applied. Ask whether a quoted fee is before or after it. The Affordable Child Care Benefit is the one a family has to apply for, and it must be claimed before the end of the month in which care is needed.

On the phone

What to ask a group facility

These follow from the licence category rather than from anything recorded about Lions Park Montessori. The Province's dataset cannot answer any of them.

Which care programmes the licence actually names, and how many children the facility may have on site at once
How many groups run each day, how they are divided, and whether they ever combine
Where the group sits in its staffing band on a normal afternoon, since the requirement steps up at 8 and again at 16
Whether an infant and toddler educator is present, if your child is under three

Where this came from

Everything recorded about Lions Park Montessori on this page comes from Child Care Map Data, published by the Province of British Columbia, Ministry of Education and Child Care under the Open Government Licence for British Columbia and fetched on 2026-09-07. Most fields in that dataset are supplied by each operator about its own facility and are not verified by the Province.

This directory is published by La Vie Est Belle Childcare Centre. It is not run by, connected to, or endorsed by the Province of British Columbia or Fraser Health. To confirm a licence or read an inspection history, contact Fraser Health's Community Care Facilities Licensing program directly, since that is the authority that issues and enforces the licence.
