My son has been at Junior Scholars for two and a half years (started when he was 15 months old) and we have had a great experience here. From the classrooms themselves (big with lots of open space) to the educational programming to the many wonderful ECEs. I recommend this centre to everyone I know looking for childcare. We did have some behavioural challenges and they handled it in a very professional manner with parent/teacher meetings and an appropriate solution. A huge plus is that food is provided.

It has been great working with Julie. She is very responsive in replying to inquiries via emails and phone calls. Dal and Manpreet are both wonderful teachers to our little one. She truly enjoyed her time in their class.

My son joined them just at the beginning of covid last yr. I'm so happy I made the switch.all the teachers and staff are amazing. My son has learnt so much. Every month there is something new they are learning and hes always so excited to go. He will definitely miss his friends and the special bond he's made with his teachers. I would recommend this place for anyone thinking to put their kids into daycare.

My son has attended Junior Scholars for almost 4 years and has loved it. He has had an amazing relationship with all his teachers and friends throughout the years. Junior Scholars provides a safe, comfortable and fun environment for the kids. I have also loved that they have an in-house chef who cooks a variety of foods which helped with my sons picky eating. We will miss everyone at Junior Scholars.

My 2 daughters, (now 4 and 7) attended Junior Scholars for the last 3 years. Their experience there has been nothing but amazing. The teachers there truly care about their students, both my girls made such great connections with them which made it that much harder to have to pull them out recently because we moved. We are so grateful for the time they were able to spend there, it is a great feeling knowing your kids are in good hands while at work. Junior Scholar team, thank you so much for taking such good care of my kids over the last few years, you truly will be missed!
