My son has been going to Wise Kids Academy since it was a dayhome back in 2020. The shy and quite toddler boy who was watching other kids to play and feeling afraid of trying things on his own has grown to a confident, energetic and personable boy who says hi to other people first and goes out to try new adventures outdoor or anywhere.
Now my 3 years daughter is following her brother’s path there too. She is loving it so much everyday. Montessori programs with different ages helping them from the youngest to the oldest in all different way and helping them learn things even with toddlers’ strong will of independence. She is very proud of herself being able to do many things on her own there and learning in same time!
Forest time is my favourite thing of Kids program. Kids get to play outside getting dirty, muddy, watery in nature (in Actual nature not in playground) learning all sorts of things with all 5 senses, watching and feeling all different weathers in 4 seasons. All parents must know how hard to put the proper gears for each season from putting sunscreen and bug spray to putting boots and snow suits gloves and hats and so on. AMAZING Wise Kids teachers do this everyday!!!
If anyone who is looking for a truly caring child care provider for 3 years and older, I highly recommend to contact Ms. Sunny or DM me. I can share all my 3 years experiences with Wise Kids Academy. Your kids will have the BEST childhood memories to remember for whole life.
Forever thanks to Ms. Sunny, Ms. Jin, Ms. Tiger, Ms. Ellie, Ms. Erin, Ms. Anne, Ms. Sandy, Ms. Sonya and Ms. Gloria, our kids have grown so well with your care and love.

This academy is truly exceptional! My child loves attending and has made remarkable progress. When she first joined, she had very little knowledge of English, but within just a month, her improvement was astounding. The staff here are fantastic at helping kids adapt and learn. I couldn't be happier with our experience here!
I would like to thank the Academy staff for being so caring, loving and creating a place where my kid wants to stay the whole day.
We're happy with everything here: program, staff, food, outside play time, safety, etc. Highly recommend it!

My son started attending when he was 4 and I really recommend it. Montessori-based play, healthy food, and going to the forest for two hours a day were such a wonderful experience.
My child loved it so much and looked forward to going to school every day. I am really thankful that the teachers do the activities that I cannot do.♡

My child has been attending for over a year, and I highly recommend it. Since a couple of Korean teachers interpret it in an English environment where a child who only spoke Korean and could not speak English at all, he is speaking two languages comfortably now with minimal stress. There is a nutritionist in the school, so they cook fresh and delicious food every day, and he eats well. He didn't really like outdoor activities, but I can see that his personality has changed to be active because he goes out to the forest every day. This is the best school ever! I highly recommend it.

This is the one of the best preschool and daycare not only the Montessori and forest program but also awesome teachers!

Wise kids created unforgettable times for both my son and me as a mother. What I liked most was that I could feel the warmth every time I went because of the teachers’ loving eyes and love. And every day, I thought to myself that I was really glad that my time in the forest was filled with challenges and experiences that I couldn't give as a mother.
Even now, when my son goes to the park, he shares what he learned and experienced at school. I hope many children will meet Wise kids and have a fun preschool experience. ❤️

I have a passion for science and nature and sharing it with all of you!
Ms. Ellie
My journey in early childhood education began when I had the chance to teach Korean to third-generation Korean Canadian children—a rewarding experience that sparked my passion for working with young learners. There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing children grow into their authentic selves, and I’m dedicated to giving them the foundation and emotional support they need to reach their full potential.
In my free time, I love exploring new cafes and restaurants around the city, always on the lookout for the next hidden gem (and sushi is my absolute favorite!). This mix of work and adventure keeps me energized and excited to make a positive impact in every child’s life.
Ms. Tiger
I'm Ms. Tiger! I have a degree in English and a diploma in Early Learning and Childcare. My favorite hobby is reading, you'll never see me without a book! I love to help and work with children in all aspects of development and I think one of the best experiences is watching children learn and grow.

In our classroom, we will explore, play, and learn together in a nurturing and supportive environment. My goal is to create a space where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to discover their unique interests and abilities. Through hands-on activities, creative play, and engaging stories, we will work on building important skills—socially, emotionally, and academically.
