There are definite pros and cons in going with Kids & Company. Think about what you're looking for…read morefrom a daycare, and see how they fare. Pros: -they maintain a good adult : infant/toddler/preschooler ratio; -they will respect your food preferences for your child; -nice, clean facility with both a well-lit area for play and a darkened room for naptime; -access to seeing your child on the Webcam while s/he is there; -those who work directly with your child, are nice; -they have a program called "Transition week" to help ease both your child, as well as yourself and your partner if you have one, into being part of daycare life; -shortened wait time in being accepted (no 1 - 2+ year wait). Cons: -they display an impressive schedule of activities, but in actuality will find it hard to embark on most of the listed endeavours; -babies are said to be more exposed to various germs, so anticipate minor illnesses; -there is the possibility of accidents (ex: one baby may bite your child's cheek). If you're a new parent, you will feel crushed to learn that harm has come to your baby - while under the care of 3 adult, experienced, caregivers; -exorbitant pricing. Can't think of a more expensive daycare. Would I recommend Kids & Company? At the moment - kind of. As someone who's worked with young people myself, I was expecting an energizing program, and after 3 days have yet to see their any building of skills, language development. I will revise this, if in time my opinion changes. It was my baby's first day, today, and I was gobsmacked to learn that another young child was able to hurt mine. Were the children not supervised enough to prevent such an occurrence?

This daycare has excellent hours of operation and convenient services. However, it was not a…read morehealthy environment for my child. There were regular instances of aggressive behaviours from the other children and my 2-year old began exhibiting these behaviours as well, which is something that we never see at home or in other circumstances with other children. The cameras showed incredibly incompetent and irresponsible actions from the staff such as sweeping the floors while children were tackling each other and throwing things at one another. Our child would often come home upset, hungry, injured, and sometimes soaking wet with urine. The staff at Kids & Company seemed to blame the parents for the behaviour and took very little responsibility. As soon as we un-enrolled our child and put him in another daycare program, he began to flourish and became much happier. I am grateful that he is now doing well but I feel awful for keeping him in a daycare for several months in which the environment was aggressive, unhealthy, and un-supportive.

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!

This is the third daycare that my child has attended and for now I am very satisfied. They offer…read morethe option of seeing your child on a webcam, which by the way is pretty decent quality. The webcam option is something that all daycares should really invest in as it really does give a parent peace of mind. The food is all home made, organic and kosher, which I have not been able to find anywhere else. They teach French and Hebrew and all the staff is very knowledgeable, engaged and friendly! Their curriculum also seems a bit more advanced than other daycares that my child has attended which is wonderful. I highly recommend this place to parents in the Vaughan area!

Discovery Point Nursery and Academy is a wonderful place! Our daughter began attending when she was…read more18 months old and easily transitioned because the staff made her feel instantly safe and at ease. The staff are truly loving, dedicated, kind and invested in teaching the children learn through play and grow as individuals. They are structured while maintaining a positive environment and we are so happy with how much our daughter has already learned during her time there. We can't say enough about how Discovery Point feels like a second home. Definitely would recommend to all families who are looking for a place that fosters a community of love, learning and fun!

We went to a few daycares before we found Discovery Point Nursery and Academy. The teachers and…read moresupervisors are one of a kind, they are very passionate, caring, attentive and sincerely want the best for the children. The leadership is transparent and works with parents to get the best education and care for the children. Both my kids went to this daycare and I am very thankful for all the teachers who worked with my kids when they had behavioural problems, working together with us to solve any issues. They helped shape my children into better humans and I'm eternally grateful for all their hard work. They offer concentrated music, art, French and Yoga classes, occasional special activities like a bubble show and my kids were excited to attend. The space is very clean, and quality of the food is amazing - overall, you won't regret sending your kids here, and my only worry now is that my expectations for future teachers may be to high as I now have a very high standard to compare to.

After having my kids enrolled here for over 4 years, I seriously cannot say enough good things…read moreabout this school and the teachers. My daughter started attending when she was 2 (now 6) and my son began as a toddler at 18 months (now 4.5). The curriculum is expansive, including typical montessori activities/practical life skills (like washing dishes, tying shoelaces, folding clothing, polishing, potty training) but also very advanced academically. Through their guidance my daughter is reading at a grade 4 level and doing math at a grade 3 level as she enters grade 1. My son who is predisposed musically, can sing various beautiful songs in different languages, and has learned to write letters and read phonetically (entering JK). Most importantly, they absolutely Love going to school every day - they have been happy and felt safe there. We have had a few different teachers over the years as we progressed through stages, as well as a few constant (Ms. Eva - we love you!) and they have all been knowledgable, capable and exceptionally kind. They and the staff were always accessible and flexible when needed. And anytime I have gone to the school I witness kids who are happy, having fun and thoroughly engaged in their learning. The facilities themselves are located in the downtown core in an office-type building that initially seemed unusual for a school or daycare - but inside it is truly the sweetest little setup and the classrooms are clean, organized, well appointed and clearly taken care of. The outside area is small, but well utilized, and they also have an indoor playground which is useful for the winter months and bad weather. They've done a really great job with space in the downtown core, and you can really feel the sense of love and commitment to the kids there. Additionally - they include lunches served by ReakFoodForRealKids daily as well as snacks which offers incredible, healthy and diverse food. My kids, who can at times be picky at home, literally rave about the food - and they love that there are always healthy snacks available. Through BBMS we have additionally met a wonderful community of downtown families whose kids regularly meet and play outside of school hours. Our kids have fostered lasting and meaningful connections which continue to be a light in both our kid's and our lives. Every other parent I have ever talked to who actually attended Bluebutterfly also raves about their experience - and many have enrolled siblings after their first. Blue Butterfuly have truly been a rock for us through such integral phases of our children's lives, and in addition, during the pandemic - our family will forever be grateful to the staff and teachers here.

Initially I was a little hesitant about the lack of 'real' outdoor playground feel but that has not mattered at all ..... There is a large play area that my son loves and most importantly we love the flexibility and friendly atmosphere which is important for parents juggling a job and school runs .. BBMS gets a thumbs up from us :)

We had our son at this daycare for almost three years. We could not have been happier with how…read morethis daycare was run! The cost is very fair, and the location is very convenient (for us). The facility is very neat, clean and well stocked with a great variety of toys and activities! There is also a large grass park adjacent to the facility, which they often use. The odd time that our son would get hurt or have a problem with another child, we were immediately informed of the details and what was done to solve the problem. I was always impressed with the way they handled any and all situations that arose. Regardless of anything, he would come home happy every day! After reading the poor review left here by someone else, it seems like their child has personal problems that aren't the daycare's fault. I wouldn't pay much attention to that review since my wife and I have never known anyone to have a negative thing to say about Ladybug daycare. My wife and I are very much looking forward to enrolling our youngest son when he becomes old enough to attend!

My son has spent a little over a year at LadyBug daycare, which out of all the daycares that we…read morehave explored, proves to be the best. 1. The staff is very kind and gentle with the children, always playing with them and keeping a close eye. As you know, children can be reckless and on multiple occasions my son has been pushed or kicked by another toddler, the teacher automatically notified me of this, ensuring me that the other parent was notified as well. This is just one of the ways the staff at this daycare differ greatly from other ones. 2. The food is catered and organic, all a parent can ask for for their children is for them to eat well and healthy. They offer a menu in which I can keep track of everything that my son is eating and it is very beneficial for me to work around. 3. The children spend a lot of time outdoors, they exercise and play. They are not confined within the walls of the daycare but rather gets fresh air throughout the day. My son is very energetic, so being able to go outside is a perfect way for him to play to the fullest of his extent and explore the world around him. 4. Finally, the environment that he is surrounded by is full of learning, music, care and fun, all of which are needed in the development of children. When my child comes home singing new songs and telling me about his day, I know for sure that I have chosen the right day care from him and plan to enroll my second son there as well, it is much recommended. -Branislav V.

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!

An incredible nursery / pre-school, and neighbourhood gem…read more All 3 of my children have flourished at and enjoyed their years at Creative Corner, which offers 2 unique programs (T/Th for 2 year olds, and M/W/F for 3 year olds), a perfect supplement to my kids' time with me at that age. My kids have waltzed into kindergarten (whereas I'm the one crying) after being a part of the nurturing and cooperative environment. The classroom is bright, welcoming, and colourful, and the program structure offers creative play based stations & hands on activities that are different every day. Teachers are incredible. They develop a special relationship with each child, and are always available to communicate with parents. Diapers and all stages of potty training are welcome, which made the training less stressful in our home. Kids get to bring their packed lunch to school in the 3 day program, which is adorable, and great practice for Kindergarten. This is one of the only cooperative nursery schools in the area, which means parents have lower fees, and can play a small role in the ongoings of the school, or even join the executive. I will be heavy hearted to be moving on from Creative Corner (after 5 years) in June, and would highly recommend it to any and every family looking for a part time nursery school for their little one.

A fantastic environment for our son. So good, we brought him back for a second year!…read more Going into his first year at the school, our son barely spoke and we were worried about his speech development. Shortly after joining Creative Corner, wow. I can attribute this to the teacher, Meg, and the nurturing environment she fosters. Supportive, educational, fun, and very attentive to our all the children. They learn to play together, share, as well as be comfortable to do activities independently. The classroom is always kept neat & clean, amazing given that they're toddlers! If we have another child, I would most certainly bring them here for 2 years as well. We have nursery schools closer to our house, but we chose Creative Corner for everything it provides. Highly recommended!
