Why families choose us

Not one of thirty. One of a handful.

Large centres can't give every child the same attention. Bella & Friends is intentionally small — so your child is truly known, settles in quickly, and builds real confidence before the big step to Kindergarten.

Low ratios, real attention

Two dedicated educators care for a small group, so every child gets gentle, individual guidance each day.

Montessori & Pikler inspired

A thoughtfully prepared space where children build independence, focus, and a genuine love of learning.

Ready for Kindergarten

Daily French, music, and nature play build the social and self-help skills children need for a smooth transition to school.

What parents say
★★★★★
We were looking for a program in Burke Mountain that would actually prepare our 4-year-old for Kindergarten, rather than just basic daycare. Neda and her team are amazing. The Montessori-inspired activities, daily French, and small class size mean our child gets so much individualized attention — a premium early education space right in a beautiful home setting.

★★★★★
Neda is absolutely fantastic — trustworthy, calm, patient, with a natural ability to connect with children. As a mother herself, she creates a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and encouraged to grow. The space is beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully designed — the perfect place for little ones to learn, play, and thrive.
