OUR CENTRE
“Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”
~ Rosaleen Dickson
Our Centre
Located on the 2nd floor in Lincoln Centre (next to Bestbuy). Our unique centre occupies 7000sf of classroom and studio space. We also have our one of a kind 3000sf private outdoor tree top playspace with views of Coquitlam and the surrounding mountains.
Our Founder and President
As I sit here in my office and think about what I would like you to know about myself and my centre; I see this silver picture frame with a drawing of Hayley & me.
At age 3, Hayley drew this picture of us in 1992 and spelled my name with three 'a's, and all I can do is smile from ear to ear, as my eyes fill with joy.
Today, she is 22 years old and has grown up to be taller than me, absolutely beautiful and incredibly smart. Still to this day, I tease her parents about what an amazing job I have done with her! When in reality, it takes a whole community to raise one child and I hope that I have influenced her as much as she has me.
Most people you ask, don't love their job – I, however, can truly say that I love being with children! My job enables me to meet new people, get to know my families, share my life with the parents & theirs with me, see single parents struggle chasing their dreams & achieve them, build long term relationships, interact with different age groups, and be able to develop close relationships. Families and parents grant a great and incredible responsibility to me, in taking care & guiding children to be positive, creative, strong individuals. How many people can walk into their job and have a little person so excited to see you and gives you a big hug or see children experience things for the first time? Children never cease to amaze me. I am truly blessed to have the greatest job in the world - - one that is extremely self-rewarding and allows me to be close with my staff.
Our History
My passion has always been creating an environment where children can be nurtured, grow with respect and be educated at their own developmental level. With over 20 years in the child care industry I feel it is time to share the knowledge, my compassion and experience with others. It’s time to move forward with the growth of the company and help others achieve their goal. The Learning Circle is one of a kind facility with the most unique programs and curriculum.
As I look back at how it all started in 1992, I truly believe things happen for a reason. I started out with Once Upon a Time Family Day Care in a basement of a Coquitlam home when opportunity knocked on my door with the City of Coquitlam. I was chosen out of many applicants to provide a child care facility in the Coquitlam Town Center Park Stadium. The Rec Room Kids Club was born in 1998 and expanded into Nestor Elementary school in 2000. When the City of Coquitlam determined that changes were necessary for the Town Center Park Stadium to provide more green space and athletic facilities to our growing community, change was literally at my door step. Although, we had spent 9 great years at the Town Center, it was time to find a new home. April 2007, my dream facility was created in Lincoln Center.
From the high tech security system to the beautiful 3,200 square foot outdoor roof top play space this facility is definitely one of a kind. The Rec Room Kids Club name no longer suited our excellent quality care and educational based programs and therefore the name change was needed. The Learning Circle is a true reflection of our ever growing company, ideas, opportunities and vision. TLC is truly quality care, educational based and community driven!
Our Dedication
Do you know the saying, "you don't know what you have, until it is gone". In the short time frame of five months, I tragically lost both of my parents. At the age of 23, I realized very quickly how much of an influence my parents really were in my life and how much they gave me, taught me & encouraged me.
If I can give you something today by reading my message, it would be either: appreciate people in your life or realize what an influence you have on your children. I never realized this until it was too late. This is why I dedicate my centre to my parents and all families that attend.
My goal is to build strong and well mannered children that have good morals and values about themselves, as my parents gave me. Although I keep my mom & dad close in my heart, I have to admit I have the biggest family anyone could ever ask for. The Rec Room Kids Club Child Care Learning Centre is truly my extended family and for this, I am grateful.
If you are looking for a place where you can feel both comfortable and happy knowing your children and well taken care of, learning and having fun, I would welcome the chance to meet you and your family.
To My Parents Who Gave Me Values
To my mother, I thank you for being dedicated to our family and always being there for me.

To my father, I thank you for teaching me the value of hard work and helping me to realize that I have the power to do anything I put my mind to.

Parents are such a part of who we are today. My parents did the best they knew how and that is why I dedicate this centre to them and all those who attend.

“The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.”
그 아이는, 그와 같은 또 다른 아이를 세상의 시작부터가되지 않았음을, 그가 기적임을 알아야하고, 세상의 끝날 때까지이되지 않습니다
کودک باید بداند که او یک معجزه، که از آغاز جهان شده است وجود ندارد ، و تا پایان جهان وجود خواهد داشت نه، یک کودک دیگر مانند او.
