Hello Friends Child Care Co. - Langford, British Columbia

I've never had any experience with other daycares but Hello Friends have raised the bar so high! The staff is amazing - very kind, accomodating, fun, and they really go the extra mile to make sure that the kids are well-taken care of. The owner, Lili, goes above and beyond! I'm just so thankful that my son goes there. He loves it and he is happy every time I pick him up.

Things I love about them in detail:
1. Staff - simply amazing!
2. App - they send updates throughout the day, with pictures & videos of activities, meals, nap, diaper change, etc.
3. Outdoor time - they really try to get as much outdoor time as possible. Seeing them go to parks and spend time outside is great!
4. Range of activities - they have lots of toys that kids can play with, they read books, do arts & crafts, sing songs, plus more!
5. Family events - they have multiple family events which we truly enjoyed!
6. Community - we have a facebook group with the owner and other moms and we help each other out. It's a great community and is very supportive.

All in all, I'd give them 10 stars - but Google only allows 5 max 😅

Such a loving group! Transitioning my little one into daycare was made so much easier by the wonderful team here. They listen so carefully to the unique needs of each child and are innovative and dynamic in their approach. These guys go the extra mile and I appreciate them so much!

We are incredibly grateful for Hello Friends and their care for our daughter. From the very first day, the staff have been warm, patient, and attentive, helping her transition into daycare life with kindness and understanding. It was a tough adjustment at first—she needed a lot of time for this vast transition—but her teachers responded with so much care, making her feel safe and engaged. The transition to full-time daycare was made so much easier for us as parents because of the dedication and patience of the staff. It’s always been clear that Hello Friends is more than just a daycare—it’s a place where children are encouraged to grow, learn, and feel loved.

One of the things that stands out the most is how communicative and supportive the daycare is. The Lillio app keeps us updated throughout the day with photos and notes, which brings so much peace of mind. We love seeing what our daughter is up to, knowing she is in great hands. The staff have noticed and encouraged her personality—she’s quite the little talker, and they’ve created a space where she can thrive socially.

The bilingual environment is another huge plus. We love that our daughter is exposed to multiple languages, which will benefit her development in many ways. The teachers genuinely care about the children, and it’s clear that they put a lot of thought into activities and engagement.

We can’t thank the team enough for everything they do! If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be supported, engaged, and truly cared for, Hello Friends is the perfect choice.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Lili and George, and they are truly wonderful people—honest, kind, and genuinely caring. Their passion for creating a safe and nurturing environment shines through in everything they do. I would absolutely recommend Hello Friends Daycare to any family looking for a trustworthy and welcoming place for their little ones!

One word: AMAZING. This daycare is certainly more of a second home for our toddler than a center. The teachers and staff provide a high level of loving care and support that suit the needs of each individual child, and the management is attentive and always available. They offer regular developmental updates and provide daily communication about your child (everything from what they are learning to diaper changes). Being a first time mom, I too was a bit nervous of the transition and what to expect, but this place has far exceeded our expectations! Our family was so lucky to have found Hello Friends.

My kids have been part of the hello friends family for three months now. I am very grateful for the care they provide and know my infant is in good hands while I am at work. He transitioned smoothly after never being away from his parents. My preschool age daughter loves going to hello friends and is excited to go every morning, and looks forward to seeing her teachers and friends and participating in the fun activities they have planned. I love getting tons of photos and videos of their day, it always looks like they are having a good time. They go on lots of adventures around the neighborhood to various parks and the library, which is a nice change of pace. All the staff are warm, welcoming, and caring. The parking lot is easy to access and drop off is very convenient making busy mornings a little easier. So grateful I was able to join the hello friends family and would highly recommend it.
Thank you,
Jasmine

We can't say enough good things about Hello Friends.
Finding daycare can be very daunting, and it can often feel like you need to just take what you can get even if it doesn't feel like the right fit.

After starting off with a less great child care provider, we had to go back to looking again....

It was such a relief to find Lili and Hello Friends. From the moment we came by to check it out it's been night and day from our last experience.

The teachers are so incredibly kind, thoughtful, and truly care so much about every child who attends. With 3 kids in daycare, it's such a relief to know every day we can count on our kids to have a happy and safe place to learn and grow during the week.

My little guy was struggling at his last placement as he is high energy and some behavioural concerns, however, the wonderful staff and teachers at Hello Friends have been nothing but kind and supportive since day 1.
They welcomed him in as part of their community, with love and patience, as they have helped him find proper direction for his big emotions and helped him to explore the world around him safely. We have seen such tremendous growth in the last month of attending. The daily outside adventures with Mr Daniel are awesome and highlights if each day.
