Send my son there starting at 10.5 months until he aged out. He received amazing care and lots of attention. The ECEs are right there sitting on the ground with the infants, playing and reading with them, and correcting any unwanted behaviours (my son was the biter). I loved that he played with other kids in his age range and they were able to model behaviour and actions (walking, running, & dancing) from each other. They care about the kids and it’s an incredibly well managed organization.
My kids went here and I can honestly say it is the best place. Highly qualified staff, low kid to caregiver ratios, excellent napping facilities and indoor and outdoor space. I think reviewer JD must have misunderstood something? There is no time out zone. The infants are allowed to express their emotions (eg crying) but I’ve never seen a child ignored there. The Centre follows Magda Gerber’s theories on infant care. As long as parents are comfortable with that philosophy (I didn’t know about it before but once I read about it I was totally on board), then, as a parent who has spent many hours there, I cannot recommend this place enough. It always has a huge waitlist!
Can't say enough positive things about it. Wonderful staff, great program, very well equipped facility.
As a parent I always felt my baby was being cared and nurtured while at daycare. He is happy and learned a lot.
