Excellent Childcare Center, when we moved to Oshawa and were struggling to find a good daycare…read moreclose to the GO Station. We stumbled on this daycare by chance. My son loves it there.

So we were happy when we enrolled our 3 years old child there. But from the day 1 we saw warning signs. We withdrew on day 3, which cost us the whole month fee of course. This is another story (to loose 1 month fee) because most day cares have visit days before you enroll. They don't. The warning signs: no one welcomed my kid properly, no one sat down to her height and made eye-to-eye contact with her, asked us about her, and her interests or made any effort to involve her in the class or with other kids. We left her for half an hour, she waved happily bye bye and started to play. When we came back, found her sitting alone crying, no one was near her or comforted her. From that moment she never wanted to be alone there. Which is not like her. She is used to being at day care since 1 year old. So we never knew what happened. The teacher said she missed you and started to cry. But I, personally think no one paid any attention to her, at all. Maybe i'm mistaken but we didnt find kids very happy or playing happily or full of energy. Teachers controled and the restricted them all the time. We let our kid play with slide in the backyard and almost all the kids came to us warned us with fear that it's forbidden to play with slide and you are not allowed. In one of the 2 hours days I was there, I found new student (a toddler) crying nonstop for 2 hours (without exaggeration), we saw no real effort from the teachers to make the poor baby distracted or comforted. There are couple of other things which we didn't like, some of them was personal so they may not apply to others, and some of them were just small but the whole package seemed to be a big deal. (like time between lunch and second snack, is sooo long, or you HAVE TO agree with them posting/using your kids picture online/public/ everywhere) We found another daycare and it took my kid 2 days to trust them after that experience but they were so loving that she is now very happy there. Despite the money we lost, it was the best decision not continuing with reggio kids.

If you have ever attended a TDSB public school after amalgamation or any of the pre-amalgamation…read moreformer 6 public school boards (i.e. Toronto, Scarborough, York, East York, North York, Etobicoke) and require a certified copy(s) of your student transcript which is no longer available at the original school you attended, then it will be stored (in hard copy format or in electronic data format) at this TDSB facility. The TDSB Central Transcript Office is located on the 3rd floor at 140 Borough Drive in Scarborough. TDSB is a co-tenant in this building complex called the Scarborough Civic Centre. The City of Toronto is the other co-tenant which is listed as 150 Borough Drive. TDSB staff provide great customer service. They however require you to complete a records request either in person or through an online request. Submitting valid ID is a prerequisite as well as advance payment for the student transcript document(s). Ontario Government regulations including the Education Act controls how personal student information is collected, used, and retained.

The supervisor Denise was really nice, patient and answered all my questions. Gave me good tips and advice too. Place looks clean, organized but just a bit small which does't bother me too much. The kids and staff look friendly, nice, happy. Cost is $1100/month for 18 months and $1500/month for 12 months. They told me that the price didn't go up much as the govt gave them some $$ to help adsorb the cost after minimum wage went up. I have signed up for waiting list for next summer 2019 for 12 months for my daughter which is free to sign up. Highly recommend others to come and check out this daycare :)

The teachers are so warm and friendly and you can clearly tell that they love their work. Her teachers in the Infant and Toddler programs really take the time and effort to come up with creative activities for the kids. The daycare director is also very friendly, approachable and hands-on with the kids. As a parent, when you see your child excited each day to go to daycare and see her teachers and friends, that is all the proof that you need that the daycare is excellent. I can't tell you how lucky we are to have found a daycare so good right near our place and we have no reservations whatsoever in sending our second daughter there when my wife goes back to work.
