We are absolutely lost for words as to how to express gratitude for every single person who has touched our lives and our children's lives at this unparalleled daycare. For 10 years, we have been able to count on friendly smiles, greetings and words of wisdom and encouragement every morning. So many of the staff have been there for most of those ten years which speaks volumes about the exceptional functionality of Leaside Daycare. The daycare has gone above and beyond for all of our children who attend, but with our youngest who has special needs, I am blown away by how the staff makes every possible effort to accommodate and include him. You have shown so much love, you have given him so much attention and have shown us, as parents, so much compassion. We think of the people at Leaside Daycare as family and always will.

It is so hard to believe the time has come for Luke to move on to Kindergarten. It was just yesterday that he was in the baby room with his wonderful caregivers! Time sure flies. Thank you to all the loving family at Leaside for the foundation, knowledge, guidance and support you have given to Luke. He's ready to face the world (well, the Kindergarten world anyway :-)!

It is a big decision on where to send your child for daycare and we are so happy that we got a spot at Leaside Daycare. The staff is so knowledgeable and caring, and my kids love them. I have learnt lots of parenting advice from these experienced staff. The staff turnover is low, which is nice for the kids to have that stable environment. The daycare is also very accommodating to young infants. My daughter started there at 6 months, and the daycare mashed up all of the food for her so I did not need to bring our own foods. And the daycare supplies diapers! Every morning, when we walk in the daycare, you can smell the delicious lunch being prepared on-site. The staffs also document the kids' daily activities via the HiMama app, as well as in their report, which they share on Parent Teacher meeting night. My kids have flourished at Leaside and they are so happy there everyday. My son has learnt all the necessary skills and more to have a smooth transition to JK.

We feel so fortunate to have our children at Leaside Daycare. Not only are the kids incredibly happy every morning when we walk in the door, but the communication from the staff is frequent, thorough and helpful. We also love the HiMama app that tells you what your child’s mood was durning the day, what they ate, how long they slept and what developmental skills they worked on. That information, along with the pictures shared throughout the day, makes us feel like we know what’s going on in our child’s world while we are away at work. Our oldest child is now in kindergarten and last summer he took part in the Rolph Road Camp that the daycare organizes. He LOVED it! The activities kept him busy, happy and entertained all week! Most important of all, we feel like our kids are genuinely loved, supported and guided all day long. And as a parent, you can’t ask for more than that.

I couldn’t be happier with the care provided to my girls at Leaside Daycare. The leadership and staff are wonderful and committed to the nurturing and development of all the kids. They always have time to talk to me about how the girls are doing and to send me a midday update and photos! The thought of leaving my 8 month old twins with anyone when I went back to work was difficult, but I have peace of mind knowing my kids are happy and thriving and in safe, capable and caring hands.  The evidence is in the smiles when we arrive every morning.
