derHeart KinMontessori KinderHeart offers children enrolled in the daycare program Montessori teachings at no extra cost! Why? We believe in offering exceptional educational experiences as these early opportunities are one of the most influential times in a child’s development. I started KinderHeart Montessori with the goal of offering a traditional Montessori program to children residing in Pitt Meadows. It was and is extremely important to stay true to my beliefs that the child comes first and quality early education is not the exception but the “norm.” KinderHeart Montessori was born with this belief and has organically grown and matured into the program it is today. We are proud and blessed to be reaching our 10th anniversary in 2015 and having touched and nurtured many souls in this community. KinderHeart now offers 2 preschool program locations in Pitt Meadows: Edith McDermott Elementary and Osprey Village. Both programs offer traditional Montessori teachings with trained Montessori Directress’s. In September we will also be expanding our opening and closing hours to reflect the needs of working parents.
Have you been searching for a child-focused educational centre? Are you looking for qualified, caring and committed staff? Contact us today to entrust your child’s early education to KinderHeart. We would love to give you a tour to explain what we offer. Call us today. 604-460-8558 info@kinderheart.ca www.kinderheart.ca

Affordable, high-quality lifestyle makes for a great investment... It’s one of the reasons that the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) named Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows 2010-2015 #5 Top Canadian Investment City and #2 Top BC Investment Town.
This national recognition is great news for Maple Ridge says Mayor Ernie Daykin, “To be recognized as one of the top communities in BC or Canada not just for investment but
for livability: we can take that to the bank.” And businesses are taking note: in 2014, Maple Ridge issued over 4,200 business licenses. What’s even more impressive: since 2008, Maple Ridge has issued almost 4,000 building permits worth almost $800 million. The Town Centre Investment Incentive Program has resulted in 70 projects in the Town Centre valued at $140 million, and helped attract major new businesses including Target, Thrifty Foods, Club 16, and Chances Gaming Centre.
216TH STREET
224T H STRE ET
In analyzing investment opportunities across Canada, REIN highlighted the affordable real estate, improved
transportation access, and quality of life that Maple Ridge has to offer. “Savvy real estate investors have begun to see the long-term growth potential,” says Don Campbell, report author and Senior Analyst at REIN. “That will bring residents, business and jobs. Along with everything else, it’s a beautiful place to live for lifestyle and affordability.” The same report named Maple Ridge “the place to live for lifestyle.”

Maple Ridge is one of the fastest growing regions of Metro Vancouver, forecast to almost double in population and jobs by 2040.

When we look at the world today we see a vast degree of change. Over the last 10 years we have become a society that can access any type of information by WKH WRXFK RI D Ă&#x20AC; QJHU &KLOGUHQ JURZLQJ XS LQ WKLV ZRUOG NQRZ more information than we ever dreamed of when we were children. Why then is it that we stop these children from learning at their own rate? Is it that we are more comfortable with the traditional learning methods we grew up with? Most education for children is too focussed on the result and not enough on the amazing process. That is until recently. Education is changing. We are starting to see a growth in more emergent and natural choice learning. The Environmental School in Maple Ridge is one such extraordinary place, where learning is based outdoors and education is harnessed through the love of the environment and community. Why not bring this type of education for ALL children, including children of a \RXQJHU DJH" ,QWURGXFLQJ :LQG\ :LOORZV (QYLURQPHQWDO &HQWUH Windy Willows has just opened in Pitt Meadows in a heritage building, across the street from the amazing Hoffman Park forest.

With all day programs ranging from 2, 3 and 5 days a week, Windy Willows will be able to harness that love RI OHDUQLQJ IURP WKH YHU\ EHJLQQLQJ &KLOGUHQ DW :LQG\ :LOORZV will be able to have regular exposure to natural learning through a forest as well as having an extension of the indoor classroom outdoors in the large backyard learning space.

Learning through the outdoors and within the wonderful communities of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, the children will gain a sense of belonging and connection to the community. There will be access to a variety of community programs as well as local parks and environmental conservation. Windy Willows hopes to bring parents into this wonderful learning world of their child through documentations, weekly learning logs and informal coffee nights. By providing children in the early years this opportunity to learn in the fresh air, within the extraordinary magic of the forest and the playful education of the outdoor classroom, Windy Willows hopes to provide sensory stimuli to help children self-regulate and self-sooth, reducing anxiety and over stimulus.

Helpful Drycleaning advice fromDrycleaners: Brenda at West R idge Have you washed silk items and then think you’ve ruined them by doing so? Don’t despair! Generally we can save the item for you. Silks are one of the strongest fibers known and at Westridge Drycleaners we love a challenge. We’ll work on each item individually, putting it in a special mineral ‘bath’ to bring back the original feel of the fabric. We also recommend that you never try home remedies even just for spot cleaning your silks, as you always risk
the chance of removing the colour from the garment. So, it’s time to wear your silks again. Bring in your wrinkled, crumpled mess and let us work miracles for you. Check out the before and after photos to see the amazing results we’ve had! If you have more questions about silk, or any other fabric, stop in and talk to us.
Have more
questions? Feel free to stop in and ask Brenda. With over 30 years of drycleaning and pressing experience she’s your fabric and drycleaning expert.
