promotions
We welcome your child for up to 8 hours, so you can take care of the tasks you need to.
Our licensed daycare follows an intentional play-based learning model, encouraging children to ask questions, solve problems and investigate their surroundings. As children play, they engage in their own unique learning styles where their creativity and curiosity can flourish.
Book your drop-in daycare space at Little Beans online. Our educators will welcome your child(ren) and they will remain in our separate childcare space with our dedicated educators. Our daycare facility is fully equipped, including quiet nap space, to care for your children for up to 8 hours.

Hello, my name is Kiran, and I am the founder of Little Beans Play Café. It has always been my dream to open a space where I could bring my children to play, while I relaxed and enjoyed a good cup of coffee and conversation with a friend. I am a licensed, early childhood educator and have managed a preschool, worked in daycare, and worked in before/after school care programs. I have always had great love and admiration for children and have two daughters of my own. I believe the first years of a child’s life are important – they build strong relationships, they learn to play and interact with the world around them, and their brains develop connections quickly. The early years pass by so fast, and it can be a challenge to “do it all” as a parent these days.
Being a mom with a modern-day schedule myself, I see a need for flexible childcare options in Port Moody. I invite you to take a moment of time for yourself, go for that run you’ve been missing, or get some uninterrupted work hours in while we care for your little ones.

Hello! My name is Katty and I am so excited to be a part of the Little Beans Play Café daycare team! My interest in working with children started when I took part in a community service opportunity at a local daycare 4 years ago. I now lead a weekly children’s class at a facility in Port Coquitlam where I choose a topic with a correlating story, an art activity, and a group game. I love working with kids to support them as they overcome challenges and succeed. Witnessing a child accomplish their goals and grow in their endeavors is a very fulfilling experience, especially knowing that you had a part to play in their success. I believe every child deserves to feel loved, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential and I am excited to be a part of that journey.

Hello! My name is Genavieve and from a young age I’ve always had a strong desire to give guidance, teach and be a role model for children. I knew my passion for helping children would eventually become my career path. I am so grateful to work here and guide the children to be their very best selves. I believe that at a young age it is very important to have a trusted adult to genuinely encourage learning strategies, someone who understands that all children are diverse and need different approaches in learning and play aspects. I aim to leave a memorable and positive impact on the children who come into my path, and to educate, support, and motivate young ones with an empathetic approach to help shape a healthy learning base for future learning and experiences.
