We Care Childcare has been an unbelievable daycare for our boys. Before coming to this daycare they…read morehad been enrolled in other daycare. The difference between the two is striking. Our boys have learned so much this year and are so excited to come to centre and engage with the teachers and friends. I also enrolled them in another different lessons. The teachers are all so caring and help any parent feel at ease leaving their child in daycare. Our boys always has a smile on their faces when we arrive at daycare. We love their HiMama app which updates us on their daily activities including what they had to eat and pictures of artwork and playtime. We recommend We Care Childcare to any parent looking for a safe and friendly daycare!

I never post but recently came across my child's daycare on here because I needed the address for…read moresomething. I saw that this previous review wasn't quite accurately reflective of how this daycare truly is. My daughter has been at Imaginarium for about 8 months now and I have to say that it is an amazingly warm and clean environment! Maybe the owner focuses on cleanliness but what parent wouldn't want that?? I figure her job is to ensure the surroundings are safe and clean for the kids and their teachers are the ones to nurture and teach...that's exactly what I feel happens here! The food may be a little repetitive but seeing what my older daughter's daycare used to fed them, I'd rather repetitive and healthy as opposed to unhealthy and seriously questionable. I honestly cannot be more happy or thankful with how loving the teachers are (Gita, Hristina and Marina) and how well my baby transitioned there. Every morning she literally runs into the room happy to start her day with them.

Worst daycare ever! Please be careful! My son still…read moreremembers how he was treated when he was 3 years old. The owner is rude and unprofessional. They only seem to care about cleaning. They keep the kids in the corner of the room while they clean the floors, exposing them to harsh chemicals. The owner is too cheap to take time to properly clean the classrooms after the kids are done. The teachers are not caring at all. If a child cries, they don't comfort them--instead, they yell at them if they don't follow directions. Very bad experience. I would NEVER recommend this daycare to anyone.

My children have been attending Great Lakes Montessori in Vaughan for a total of 7 years ( My son…read morefor 3 and my daughter for 4 years). My daughter will be graduating in June and it makes me sad to leave this wonderful community. Teachers My kids have had Miss Illuminata for a total of four years, and she is amazing. She is the most senior teacher for the graduating students, and the children love her. She is both academically strong in teaching, (phonics, to support early reading, cursive, writing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing) and is compassionate and sees the whole child so each student feels valued. All of my children's teachers have been outstanding. As a secondary educator myself, I have always been happy with Great Lakes Montessori. ECEs in the classroom , Ms Franca and Ms Alinda are excellent. French Mme Rita is a retired French elementary teacher who is super qualified in her post supporting French Language. Music Ms Lee is an excellent pianist and music teacher. She plays at each graduation and event. The kids love her! Meals Fresh food prepared by the school cook always includes fresh fruits and vegetables. Excellent value. Administration Ms Shazia and Ms Tina have always been professional, receptive, accommodating, and excellent in communicating and accommodating requests to support the well-being of our children. Special Events September grandparents day event, Bagel day with coffee. Pancake day with coffee, December Holiday concert, May Mothers Day brunch, June Fathers Day brunch, June Graduation ceremony. Parents receive gifts for special holidays. In fact I just finished a Mother's Day Brunch of melons, clementines, cheese, coffee and croissants with this special gift!

Bad experience! My son (1.5 years) was at this daycare part-time for almost 1.5 months…read more From the day two, we noticed neither my son nor his teacher (Sahar) was looking forward to seeing each other in the mornings. There were many mornings I had to stay and wait at the doorstep simply because Sahar was pretending she was busy with something, turning her back to the door as soon as she could see me and my baby boy coming down the hallway. And mind you that, these are the mornings I had to rush to go to work while dropping off my baby on my way to the office! On one occasion when I dropped off my child when I walked out of the room I heard my son screaming. I immediately looked back and noticed Sahar had hit my son's head to the shelf over his high chair and had proceeded to forcibly push my son into his high chair with anger. I went back to the room and helped her putting my baby in his high chair properly. That day I thought maybe she didn't have a good day so I let it go. I also tried to put my baby in his high chair every morning since after. On another occasion , my wife witnessed Sahar not being nice to our son when my wife went to the daycare to pick him up. Sahar did not notice my wife was watching her from behind the glass door! Bottom line is Sahar's attitude towards our loved one and us never changed. I never understood what Sahar's real problem was, but the truth is she was continuously upset to see us dropping off our baby at the daycare and she couldn't hide it. My son was at this daycare for 1.5 months and we never saw Sahar's smile. We expressed our concerns about Sahar to the supervisor(Shazia) but she said my son soon to be transferred to the toddler's room, therefore, she took no actions. From the second week, we started receiving calls from the daycare supervisor expressing concerns over the fact that my son doesn't eat by himself and doesn't walk. She got us really worried so we immediately took our son to see his doctor and his doctor thoroughly examined him and expressed absolutely no concerns over my son's motor skills. We offered to bring a doctor note to the daycare but the supervisor said she was only concerned and that there was no need for the doctor's note. The truth is that daycare supervisor was just preparing the ground for her next move. Keep reading! Towards the end of the first month, the supervisor contacted my wife and said she has found legislation that prevents her from keeping my son in the infants room, and some other legislation indicating that my son can't be accepted in the toddlers room either. We were shocked to hear this as it was never communicated to us. Basically, she asked us to stop bringing our child to her daycare! When we asked for her to refer us to the legislation or show us the existence of such information in the daycare's parents' handbook, she rudely refused to do so! Just to recap, we are in the process of filing a legal complaint with the ministry of education against the daycare and taking appropriate legal actions against Sahar. To us, Sahar could be anyone, but a child caregiver and we definitely don't recommend having your baby to stay with her nor with a daycare with such an unethical management style and lack of control over staff behavior. Another great example of a high price does not necessarily mean "high quality"! Update (May 16 2018): Yesterday and as soon as I posted my review on their Facebook page, I received the following message on Facebook messenger and Great Lakes Montessori page quickly went offline.

Our YMS journey began several years ago since toddler class and now as my daughter graduates, I can…read moretruly appreciate all the amazing things YMS delivered upon. The teachers were not only supportive and communicative, but they would always be available for discussions or a bit of extra help outside of class hours. The classroom sizes were perfectly tailored to foster growth and discovery but also ensure personalized attention when necessary. The learning modules were innovative, original, and forward-thinking, creating such a positive learning experience. The YMS staff have always ensured my daughter was welcomed with open arms and hearts, a true testament to their caring nature, and I always felt they considered us as part of their own families. The teachers and their attention to detail were instrumental factors in expanding my daughter's willingness to learn, growth and maturity. They have built a strong foundation, nurtured confidence, engaged social skills, in a way that truly demonstrates how much they care. Although our time at YMS has come to a close, I may have shed a tear during the graduation ceremony, not only for how proud I felt, but also knowing it was time to say goodbye to an amazing family, and I will ensure to recommend to parents that truly want the best for their children to make sure to put YMS at the top of the list.

It really felt like a big family and we are so sad to be moving on, but intent to visit as often as we can!

My twins have been attending It All Begins Here Daycare since their doors opened in the summer/fall…read moreof 2015. I can honestly say that there isn't a better, happier, cleaner, place for my children to spend their days. The staff is genuinely friendly and nurturing who care about the wellbeing of ALL the children. They are well educated in the background of early childhood development and offer a program that fosters learning in children from infant to preschool. As an elementary school educator myself, it was important to find a daycare for my children that would encourage them to develop to their fullest potential. I believe, It All Begins Here Daycare provides an excellent atmosphere for children to grow through balanced learning, creativity and play. The food is amazing and nutritious. Ms. Trezzi provides us with weekly schedules of meal plans and she has beautiful, clean industrial kitchen where all meals are prepared on site. My boys have never come home hungry and the Daycare always provides a daily record for each child on what they ate, when and how much. They also provide daily information on how much sleep kids had during nap time and when they went to the bathroom. The classroom E.C.E. always takes a minute to provide feedback at the end of the day upon pick-up as to how their day went, and the detailed activity board always shows the exciting activities and centres the children participated in that day. Another thing I love best about It All Begins Here Daycare is the central location, but yet it backs on to a quiet neighbourhood. The back yard where the children play is beautifully enclosed by nature- not a busy street or parking lot. Even better, on those days when it's too cold or rainy- It All Begins Here has an amazing indoor heated gym where the kids can run around in. The gym is bright from all the natural light that enters through the windows and filled with amazing gross-motor play equipment. All the other daycare centers I had seen did not meet the standards of this facility. As a new mother I was skeptical about where I was going to leave my children at 12 months when I went back to work. I went to see many other daycares before choosing this one. From the minute I walked into It All Begins Here Daycare, I knew I had found the right place. Ms. Bianca and her staff have always been caring and accommodating. I feel comfortable leaving my boys there and they are happy to return and see their teachers each day. I give this Daycare 5 stars !!

The teachers are AMAZING, the curriculums are AMAZING, the facility is AMAZING, the Director is very professional but sweet at the same time, weekly menus are AMAZING, and just the overall genuine love, care, and compassion they showed my Nyla daily left me feeling she was in such a safe place, which she was! The HiMama app they use uploaded daily schedules, announcements, photos, menus, notes, and anything else you needed to know about your child on that day. It was such a wonderful addition to the center and so easy to use! I loved it! My husband and I would love to hear about how her day was and she loved to tell us about all the new things she learned. She loved her teachers so much! Starting in the infant room she was guided, mentored, and encouraged to reach her full potential and by the time she graduated from the Preschool class she had! I was so sad on her last day because we were going to miss It All Begins Here Daycare so much as they were such a huge part of our lives. There will never be enough "thank you's" Vanessa Trivelli

(we went to the one on Steeles & Alness) The staff absolutely loves kids, and has a very high level of experience. They go above and beyond for the kids and families. The teachers have been there forever, showing that they have truly built a great community and staff. My oldest still comes by to say hello because of how much she loves the staff. The food is healthy and carefully prepared by their amazing on-site cook. There is a great program for education that is heads above most daycares that are glorified babysitters. The facility is always clean, fresh, and full of positive energy. They are a standalone building with strict safety protocols and a large dedicated outdoor playground. The staff is highly responsive and responsible. They know each parent and child by name. As someone that deeply values building little kids up (mind, body, and soul) this place does a wonderful job, and anyone would be lucky to have their kids go to this daycare. Thank you to all the teachers and staff. I always tell you myself, but I feel others should know how awesome you are too.

As a mother of two boys and an elementary school teacher with 18 years of teaching experience, I…read moredecided to enrol my son in Radiant Way Montessori in 2018 after touring NINE Montessori schools in Markham. Without dishonouring other schools, I have to say that Radiant Way Montessori stands out in many areas. First of all, the teachers here are so passionate, caring and loving! Particularly, Ms. Anahita, the principal, is the kind of person who speaks from her heart, who truly cares about children. I honestly fell in "trust" with this school at the first sight because of her passion, sincerity and knowledge. Secondly, this school offers a true Montessori program. Ms. Anahita is an instructor who trains new Montessori teachers. Both of her daughters are teachers. The classroom is well equipped with authentic Montessori learning tools. During observation, I was amazed to see how engaged all children were at their chosen activities. My son has grown so much socially and academically in this school. I feel really good about sending my son to such an outstanding program! Last but not least, Radiant Way Montessori is always clean and well organized whenever I go. It also has a HUGE backyard, where kids can be kids. Ms. Anahita reinforces the "no sugar, healthy diet" policy, which I love. My son has nutritious lunch and snack daily. To sum up, I can not be happier to choose Radiant Way Montessori as my son's very first school. Now, I have a BIG problem cause next year my son will graduate. My son told me many times .... " I want to stay here FOREVER!" ...

No wonder they have spot and not full.I know a mom who send her 2 kids there now and told me before that her kids didn't learn much compared to Marander Montessi School which she heard from friends teaches the kids way more. This place is not a real Montessor school but run more like a like daycare and still charge the premium Montesorri school rate $$ = $300 more per month than a regular daycare if you include early pick up and late drop off (7:30am to 6pm). She also pushes for you to have grand parents or someone else pick up your kids by 3:30pm and not later (odd). This place also does not seem that organized either when we ask if there is a daily progress report or schedule. Even other daycares provide daily progress report to tell you how your child is doing, what activities did he/she do or learned. Therefore, some Montessori School like this one is not worth the $$$. Might as well send to a regular to daycare and save the extra costs! lol
