What Parents Say

“Our family has been with Mrs. Megan for the past 2 years and I would give my left arm to keep her in Fernie. She is organized, caring, motivated and amazing with our kids. They come home everyday with crafts, stories and smiles. Her programming is far superior to any other childcare facility we’ve experienced, and has contributed greatly to my children's school preparedness. I’m sure whatever facility Megan is running will be amazing.”
- Andrea G
“Megan was such a positive influence with our daughters. With her playful nature, love of the outdoors and never ending energy, they always came home exhausted and full of new stories.”
- Swansburg Family
“We are beyond grateful for Ms. Megan and her Live Laugh Learn Child Care. Ms. Megan teaches from a place of love, which has made leaving our daughter with her so easy. Her kindness, dedication, and passion for early childhood education is evident in everything she does. Ms. Megan is committed to providing a safe and engaging environment where compassion and care is at the forefront of her program. It takes a very special individual to care for and educate such little humans, and Ms. Megan is amazing at it. She loves and supports the children in her day care unconditionally and teaches them to always be confident and kind. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts for providing such a wonderful place for our daughter to learn and grow. We will miss you very much. The community of Sparwood is very fortunate to have Ms. Megan and Laugh & Learn as an option for childcare. ”

- Casey Rhinas
"From supporting our child through the adjustments of being away from us for the first time to providing confident and educated care for our specific medical needs, Megan has provided patient and nurturing care to our family. She consistently pours love and time into her centre, ensuring kids have a mix of play time, learning and exciting outside experiences. Working with Megan has been such a great experience."
- LW
Live Laugh Learn was so much more than a preschool/daycare for our kids, and our entire family felt privileged to have had such an amazing child care provider and programming in our early years as a family. I highly recommend Megan and Live Laugh Learn to all families with young ones, and wish everyone was lucky enough to have her a part of their lives as an amazing childcare experience.
- The Neals
Megan Grijalva provided a superb quality of childcare and preschool programming for our kids, beyond our expectations. She has exceptional programming that has themes, which are all encompassing from crafts, songs, activities, field trips and special events that our children loved. Megan provided clear, frequent communication to families that outlined rules and regulations, best practices and guidelines to help set you and your child up for success. She would also provide updates, photos, and additional communications as needed, which truly reflects how Megan's top priority is the well being of your child. Megan is warm, kind, patient, and encouraging to all the children, and my daughter still (over 1 year later) speaks fondly of Megan, and how much she misses having her a part of her day to day life.
