Our centre
Built for small people, from the ground up.
1103 Confederation Drive, Port Coquitlam, in the Citadel neighbourhood, with parks, playgrounds and an elementary school right outside our door.
A building designed around children, not adapted for them.
We worked with the City from the ground up so every element of a great learning environment could be built in: light, air, safety and space to move. Tucked into the Citadel neighbourhood of Port Coquitlam, with parks, playgrounds and an elementary school right outside.

A three-minute walkthrough of the centre on Confederation Drive: the main learning room, the art and music corners, the yard and the covered deck, filmed room by room so you can see the real space before you book a tour.
Video transcript
The tour opens at the front of the centre on Confederation Drive, then moves inside to the main learning room: long wooden tables, teal walls and natural light from tall windows. From there it passes through the art and music corner, where children’s work is on display, before stepping out to the yard and covered deck, with its pergola, bark-mulch surface and mature trees backing onto the Citadel neighbourhood.
