About Me
Making a Difference
Terrific Kids provided quality care based on the Early Learning Framework in an
enriched learning environment that has helped countless children get ahead.
Founded in 1989 (closed September 1, 2018) the Child Care was located in Coquitlam, BC
and reflects the diverse backgrounds and cultures of the area.
I'm extremely proud of the children and thankful I had the opportunity to provide child care
and connect with so many wonderful families.
I'm a Professional Child Care Provider who is available for consulting and
facilitating workshops so that I can share my knowledge and resources with
those who have chosen a career working with children and families.

Testimonials From Families
"It is great peace of mind knowing that our kids are in such a nurturing environment."
Ken Porter
I couldn't ask for more! At Terrific Kids my son receives quality care that comes from the heart. Vicki treats my son as if he were one of her own, and this makes him a very happy boy. His first words every morning are "Is today a Vicki day?" and the smile in response to my yes, tells me Terrific Kids is the best place for my son when I am not home with him!
Jennifer Lawson
Our family has been so very fortunate to have Vicki Lepper care for our three children. Vicki forms powerful attachments with each child and family she cares for. Her tender hand, engaging energy, brilliant mind, and loving heart, make her an outstanding early learning educator. The smiles and enthusiasm demonstrated by each child as they arrive and still present at pick-up, clearly demonstrate the joy and belonging all experience as a TERRIFIC KID!
Andrea Hunter
I found out about Terrific Kids through a family friend who had nothing but wonderful things to say about Vicki and her daycare program. I know my son is in great hands while I'm at work and I can't think of anywhere else I would rather him be.
