We booked our walk through for 8am (had to book 48hrs in advance) When we arrived no one was there to meet us, the person who was meant to meet us to walk through was not even on site - we were not informed and there was no explanation, just "she's not here". The person who did finally talk to us said she would walk us through but didn't care to explain anything about the daycare or what they do, she basically said "this is the room". Her attitude came across as though we were wasting her time The whole time we were there, not a single person acknowledged my 2 year old who would be the one going there The lack of care could not be more obvious and I would not recommend to anyone

Erin is a great coordinator. All of the educators are great also. The are an amazing team. They really try to use the child’s individual guidance as well as setting up group activities for learning. They are very pro playing outdoors and allowing the kids to explore and learn by working things out for themselves in a safe environment. The food is amazing and my main thing is my boy came home happy every day 😊. We were very sad to have to leave but kindergarten was our next adventure.
