The recently-released Netflix series Maid filmed all around Greater Victoria, but itB次元官网网址檚 had a particularly lasting impact at one Colwood preschool.

Chosen as the site of the sought-after B次元官网网址業sland KidsB次元官网网址� daycare in the show, West Shore Parks and RecreationB次元官网网址檚 preschool got a full-blown makeover last February. Green and cream walls were turned bubblegum pink and blue and a mushroom, castle and giant tree sprung into existence in the space.

B次元官网网址淏efore it was kind of just a big empty room. This was like B次元官网网址榳ow,B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� preschool and daycare programmer Alexandra Matthew said.

She said the show crew took over the site twice in February to set up the props and film. Staff werenB次元官网网址檛 allowed to be too close by, but Matthew said they were all in the main recreation centre looking through the windows.

B次元官网网址淥f course we were looking for stars,B次元官网网址� she said.

To their delight, when filming had wrapped the design crew told them they could keep the majority of the props and changes.

B次元官网网址淪o the kids came in super excited to see all the new decorations in there,B次元官网网址� Matthew said, adding that their parents were probably just as thrilled. B次元官网网址淚t made such a change.B次元官网网址�

The recreation centre was also featured in the show as a hospital emergency room and group counselling session space, making MatthewB次元官网网址檚 workplace an exciting spot over the last year.

B次元官网网址淚t was really great,B次元官网网址� she said.

The cherry on top was getting to watch it all back when the show aired earlier this month.
