Mindful Moments is a home away from home where highly educated teachers scaffold children's learning. The facility is of the highest quality and resources are abundant. The interest of the children always comes first. I love the influence of Reggio Emilia and Maria Montessori in both the aesthetic of the facility and experiences provided. Not to mention the amazing outdoor learning environment! It's absolutely amazing.

The quality of care here is immeasurable when it comes to ensuring the health and safety of children. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that the kids are not only treated with kindness and encouraged to be their own unique individual selves, but also the extra measures taken during a pandemic cannot be easy. They make sure everyone is respected, and given the opportunity to grow. I cannot imagine how hard it has been to navigate through all the crazy but they do it with grace and kindness!

Educators are expected to be lifelong learners, providing the best care possible to the children and families they serve. Children thrive in this centre as each child's unique needs are appreciated and built upon. No hesitation in recommending this centre to all.

I honestly could go on and on about all the ways Mindfull Moments is a phenominal daycare... but most importantly, I dont have to question what type of care my children are getting. I know in my absence they are being loved, nurtured, comforted and allowed to grow, learn and explore in a warm and caring environment.... everyday. I will not take them anywhere else

Report
After doing some research we settled on mindful moments for our son. What a terrible choice this ended up being. We filled out the assessment for our son who was perfectly healthy not one symptom. Within an hour of dropping my son off we received a call from my sons teacher saying he had a runny nose and was coughing? I was on a work call at the time and told them that my son was fine and had no symptoms of Covid. Then I received a call from Vanessa right after saying my son has been separated from the class and someone needed to come get him right now and if my wife or I could not come right away
