What an amazing experience it was to have my son grow up with the EBCC staff! They have looked after him since he was about 10 months old and I have nothing but great memories with them. They provide such an enriched experience for little ones while maintaining an educative and loving environment. By far the best child care centre in the West end.

This daycare has fantastic staff. I felt so much anxiety when looking for a daycare for my baby boy and they did so much to help me feel comfortable with this new transition. Rashida and Samantha are the best...all the staff are but I'm horrible with remembering names. Thank you for taking care of my King Majesty
