About Us
Hello! My name is Safia Barr the founder of Kinder Kampus Children’s Services of BC. I am a certified Early Childhood Educator and Infant-Toddler Educator, with over 36 years of experience in the childcare field. As a mother of two children I am committed to providing top quality care and education to the Porty Moody, Coquitlam and Anmore communities .
At Kinder Kampus education means the development of the whole child cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically. Education prepares children to live and function in society and reach their goals using their full potential. We believe in structured programs that encourage exploration and participation while focusing on learning. There should be flexibility within this program to allow a variety of learning styles. By combining learning with fun, we challenge the children and stimulate their interests to promote development.

Arts and Crafts
Arts and Crafts activities are planned on a daily basis to encourage creativity and develop small motor skills. In addition to the scheduled arts and crafts, children typically work on free choice art projects throughout the day.
Field Trips and Special Events
Field trips and special events are planned throughout the year to allow the children to relate to and experience what they are learning.
Examples include trips to the pumpkin patch, Buntzen Lake, and Old Orchard beach, as well as Mothers Day tea, Fathers day coffee, cap and gown graduation ceremony at Inlet Theatre, Christmas concert, summer picnic at Rocky Point Park with entertainers, visits by Urban Safari, community services (fire/police), etc.,.
Quiet Time
We schedule rest/nap time for the young children after lunch. This allows the children to read quietly or relax their minds and bodies.
Group Interaction
We try to foster autonomy, independence, co-operation and self-help skills through play and group interaction. We believe play has a big part in the learning process. It is a time where children are developing their own interests and where friendships with peers are being formed.
Hands-on Learning
We believe ‘hands-on’ is the best way for children to learn. The materials provided in the classroom will help build an interest in subjects they will encounter in later years and provide a true “head start to learning”!
