Quick take
School review information
Hampton Park Elementary is a well-regarded community school in Coquitlam's Westwood Plateau, distinguished by its dual-track regular and Montessori programs. It benefits from an engaged parent community and stable academics, though recent administrative changes to on-site childcare have caused some community friction.
Editorial review summary
Parent feedback highlights a strong appreciation for the school's Montessori program and the dedication of the teaching staff. The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is highly active, successfully fundraising for enrichment programs like drama, hip-hop, and playground improvements. However, in early 2026, significant parent frustration emerged regarding the school district's decision not to renew the license for the long-standing on-site Before & After School Child Care provider (Hampton Park Montessori). Parents launched a petition citing a lack of transparency and concerns over childcare disruption. Additionally, some parents have noted traffic safety issues during drop-off and pick-up times.
Common positives
- Offers a highly sought-after Montessori program alongside the regular track
- Very active PAC that funds numerous student enrichment activities
- Good outdoor facilities including a baseball diamond, soccer field, and basketball courts
- Stable academic performance with a solid Fraser Institute rating
Common concerns
- Recent uncertainty and district-level disputes regarding the on-site before and after-school childcare provider
- Traffic and pedestrian safety concerns during peak drop-off and pick-up hours
- High demand for the Montessori program can lead to waitlists and anxiety over securing a spot
Who this school may fit
Highly recommended for families in the Westwood Plateau area, particularly those interested in the Montessori method. However, working parents who require on-site before and after-school care should contact the school directly to confirm the current status and availability of childcare programs.
