We had our daughter at Scenicview and I cannot say enough good things about them! It's a "centre-style" daycare, but feels like home daycare. Our daughter, and us, got to know ALL of the staff and everyone was so friendly, warm and kind. I could tell because when I dropped her off, she would run to the staff for hugs! They also had fantastic meals for the kids, and celebrated birthdays, making every child feel special. My daughter has a food allergy as well, and we always felt safe as they would customize meals to accommodate her, without sacrificing nutrition. We also loved how they back onto

Cannot say enough great things about this place. The staff are so lovely and it is always evident how much care and affection they have for the kids. They also provide amazing snacks and lunch they make themselves!! We are so sad to be moving and not be able to send our kids here anymore. My son particularly loved Miss Brea! We will miss you!

I pulled my child from this awful daycare almost a year ago. My child wasnt transferred to the preschool class after a year of sitting in the toddler room, as they said there is no space for him. My main problem was that they accepted a new child in the preschool room instead of mine and I have proof of that by email from the supervisor!!! They just made ALOT of excuses when i asked them why! . Then I had an oral agreement with the owner that my son would be visiting preschool every Friday because he was the oldest kid in the toddler room but after that I noticed each Friday he was still in

We have had our child at Scenicview for a year and a half. Over that time, we have deeply appreciated the professional and responsible care they provided. Not only are our child's physical and developmental needs met, Scenicview's management and staff became trusted partners with us as parents as our child grew. Communication back and forth was always prompt and accurate using the HiMama app, and there were rarely, if ever, cases where we thought anything was missed or overlooked. Our child loves the staff at Scenicview and all of the fun, educational activities that were done on a daily basis

Our son has been enrolled at Scenicview since he was 12 months old and he is now just over 3 and in the Preschool class. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. For starters, it is beautiful. The building has the feeling of a home, but with the structure and longer hours of a centre, however there are much fewer children than the other centre we visited. The yard is large with all kinds of trees and green space, as well as a vegetable garden that the children help tend to. In the summer time, they get to EAT the vegetables they grow in the delicious food that is made on site, which

Scenicview Daycare is a very clean, up to date facility that offers the children a variety of activities to participate in throughout the day, both indoors and outside. When the weather is uncooperative, the children are blessed to have a large indoor gym to play in, where they can use scooters, and large motor equipment. This daycare has the home daycare feel, and does not have an overwhelming number of children, which makes it more comfortable for the little ones, and parents, knowing their child won't just be a number in a ratio with a teacher. I visited numerous daycares when we were deciding
