Have had our first grand child there 3 years ago and now the second grand child there now. Edukids is a very caring and professional daycare that treats their kids well.

Report
Ive been to other centres in the area and am so grateful Ive come across Edukids on Altona Road. Staff is very warm and caring. My child is happy. They have an outdoor play area which is really nice space for the kids to play in. Ive had very few concerns at this centre. It is an older facility but the staff make up for that. Ive been to top of the line daycares in downtown Toronto, montessori centres, and no matter how many perks they provided the one thing they lacked was professional, courteous, experienced and caring staff. The value of having great staff and feeling your child
