CEFA Burnaby - Canada Way

CEFA Burnaby - Canada Way Private early years school for children ages 1 to 5, designed to build the confidence and foundations that help them grow into future leaders.

CEFA’s Canada Way location embraces your child’s innate curiosity by creating a stimulating and nurturing academic environment that encourages young learners to confidently and independently pursue their inquisitiveness. Established in 2005, our Canada Way – Burnaby preschool is a large and beautiful facility with six classrooms and a huge gym. Our Burnaby preschool and daycare has a wonderful community of families and staff, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Each of our Teachers at Burnaby – Canada Way are licensed Early Childhood Educators, meaning they can work in a daycare or preschool environment. They then go through the CEFA Teacher Training, which enables them to work in our specialized junior kindergarten school.

Science starts with curiosity.

Through hands-on exploration of the human body, children discover how different body parts and organs help us grow, move, think, and stay healthy.

At CEFA, early STEM learning helps children ask questions, make connections, and begin to understand the world around them with confidence.

Behind every early learning experience is an educator who helps children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn, like Miss K at .oakville 💛

At CEFA, our teachers bring care, creativity, and intention into the classroom each day, helping children build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

Thank you to the educators across our schools who make such a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.

Music helps children hear, feel, and understand patterns.

Through rhythm activities, steady beats, and sound exploration, children begin building early listening, sequencing, and creative thinking skills.

At CEFA, music is part of a well-rounded early years experience that supports confidence, expression, movement, and joyful discovery.

Movement helps children build more than physical skills.

Through activities like Taekwondo, children practice balance, coordination, focus, listening, and self-confidence in a fun and supportive environment.

At CEFA, physical development is part of our whole-child approach, helping children grow stronger in body, mind, and confidence.

Creative expression is part of how children learn.

Through open-ended art experiences, children experiment with colour, movement, texture, and pattern while strengthening fine motor control and hand-eye coordination.

At CEFA, visual arts help children build confidence in their ideas and discover that every creative process can lead to something uniquely their own.

Little routines can teach big lessons.

When children practice handwashing, they are learning independence, responsibility, self-care, and the confidence to take part in daily routines.

At CEFA, everyday moments are opportunities to build life skills that help children feel capable, prepared, and proud of what they can do.

Writing begins long before a child picks up a pencil to form letters.

It starts with building the skills behind the skill.

Before age three, children build the foundations for future writing through activities that strengthen fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and early pre-writing movements such as lines, circles, and patterns.

In this post, we're sharing five simple activities that help support these important developmental milestones. Through guided exploration and hands-on learning, children develop the strength, control, and confidence that prepare them for handwriting in the years ahead.

Every child communicates in their own way.

Through sign language activities, children explore letters, sounds, movement, and meaning while strengthening early literacy and communication skills.

At CEFA, experiences like these help children build confidence, express themselves, and connect with others in thoughtful and inclusive ways.
