My experience with the friendly staff was amazing.

My daughter was in daycare at this location for four months from Sep 08 to Jan 09...wait, that's…read morefive months. I was a bit skeptical about sticking my one year old in a daycare for a couple of days a week, but for various reasons we decided to try it out. The location was chosen in part because my wife's place of work had an agreement with them, and also because the location was very close to both our offices. The reason that I gave Kids & Company - Wellington such a high rating was for two reasons. The first is that the level of care my daughter got was second to none. The staff were amazing with Bella and really showed her the love and attention she needed. The second reason was that the entire place was wired with cameras so that I could watch my kid all day online. Because I was able to see first hand that the level of care was excellent, I was able to get more comfortable with the idea of her being in daycare. I would have given them a five star rating but it was friggin expensive and my daughter was constantly sick for the four...I mean five months that she went there (apparently this is true with all daycares, not just this one).

My sons have been attending Discovering Minds for 3 1/2 years. This little school has become an…read moreextension of our family. It is a family run, traditional Montessori school, and so the atmosphere here is unique, and I would even say special. The classes are small so nobody gets lost in the shuffle. There is a strong focus on community, and teaching the children how to navigate the world in an independent and responsible, respectful, conscious way. I really can't say enough good things about this school, honestly. I sometimes wonder what I would do without them :) I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of going in the Montessori direction, to definitely check out Discovering Minds.

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 .....

Classes for specific age groups so I don't have to worry about my little one getting hurt by older kids.

She was diagnosed with a critical heart condition ventricular tachycardia. We were still required to pay! The daycare stated that even though my child was in critical care ICU fighting for her life. They would charge us the full amount quote no exceptions could be made. They could not hold her place for a lesser fee either. But because we were hopefull she would pull through and eventually I would have to return to work and waiting lists for daycares in Toronto are long we continued to pay. We were advised by them we could find alernative care if we did not pay. They had last month's payment from us that they would not refund so we were stuck. She barely attended in Feb but they already had our last month's payment. They notified us that as per their handbook "if your child is sick you still have to pay" well my child had a critical cardiac condition came out of nowhere..not "sick" critical!! No concessions regarding the fee could be made regardless of the fact my child was on a ventilator at Sick Kids fighting for her life!! Definitely not a business or people I recommend any parent support. They wanted there blood money didn't care if my child lived or died!!!! How someone could do that and live with themselves especially when the owner has small children claims to care about kids is beyond me.
