As someone who has previously had a negative experience with childcare, I am beyond grateful to have found this centre. Since my child started attending a year ago, I have never had to worry or stress about who is watching him. The staff here are responsible, friendly, and genuinely care about the safety and well being of the kids. They take covid precautions seriously and engage in learning activities with the kids. One thing I am thankful for is actually they do not have any screen time, the only electronic my child has mentioned is a music player throughout the day. I will continue bringing

I don't know why this daycare is still open. ! This is the worst daycare I have ever experienced. The teachers here do not care about the children, they only turn on THE TV for the children, and will say unkind words to the children. If your children are smart, you are lucky, and if your children are naughty, you are unlucky. The manager here may be the owner of this place, which is a very hypocritical person.

They have a very friendly and skillful manager along with nice teachers that respect children as the smaller human beings they are. Our child really loves the place as her second home. -PE
