An Enchanted Forest Daycare — Daycare & Preschool in St. Albert, Alberta

What parents say

• E M

  We have had our 2 year old here since July. Amanda and Alice are awesome to deal with; very transparent and helpful in answering any questions we have had. Communication is very clear. Our daughter is so excited to go to daycare and see her friends and teachers every day, which is so great to see. They have lots of fun themed days, field trips, crafts, activities - every time we are there the kids are just having a blast. All in all, we are very happy to have found such an amazing daycare that takes such great care of our daughter.

  Great staff, and a great atmosphere for kids. Both my sons go here and I would highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for child care.

  Our daughter has been going to Enchanted Forest since she was 13 months old. We looked at quite a few popular daycares/dayhomes in the areas before deciding on this one. The staff have been absolutely amazing, a lot of care and creativity goes into planning for each day, they have low staff turnover which has been wonderful for our little one who is slow to warm in new settings. Any concerns are always addressed and dealt with promptly, not that there have been many. We very much appreciate the responsiveness and professionalism of the staff and especially the director Amanda. We are always able to reach someone right away when needed. It's not a brand new shiny building like some other daycares that have popped up throughout StA by any means, however, what kids care about is the warmth of the staff, feeling safe, cared for, and having fun. They focus on the stuff that really matters which goes above and beyond so many other places.

  The best Daycare or Dayhome my daughter has ever been to! my daughter was at a Dayhome for 1 1/2 years before coming here and it was the best thing that i ever did. My daughter has special needs and they go above and beyond working with us and her to make sure we fix any issues. I'm not going to lie when i first looked them up i was concerned about it being by the apartments and in a basement but as soon as i walked into the daycare all my concerns went out the window and after interviewing them i signed my daughter up that day and that was over a year ago and its the best thing i ever did for my child :) she is so loved there and there always going above and beyond for there kids. Weather it is going on field trips (which they do A LOT) crafts, going out back to play in the grass/private playground or the crazy amount of decorations they do for every small holiday (I.E Star Wars day, or Western Day) and every week they do a new theme for each ages theme area. My daughter also some minor food allergies which they accommodate with no issues and the food they feed the kids is a good quality. the only complaint i can give about the food and its a small one is once a week they feed sugary cereal but you can opt out like i did with my daughter which isn't a issue at all. one the the best things about the daycare is the owner Alice and her daughter Amanda! i can not say this enough its hard to find a owner who is there everyday all day and cares as much about there kids as these 2 women do, they know every kid by name and they are going in between every class room checking on all the kids, singing songs, doing crafts, and Amanda rubbing my daughters back so she will nap!!! like how amazing is that. I cannot gush enough about this place and the people, my daughter will be going here even when she needs before and after school care that's how great it is. The photo of everyone in red and Minnie mouse was from the Christmas concert they did, and the other one is from Easter they had the costume and that's the class bunny.

  My oldest son has gone to this daycare for 5 years now and my youngest for a few months. As a parent I know it can be hard to find a daycare you can trust with your little ones, but The Enchanted forest is amazing! The owners are involved and are there every day. The staff are friendly, happy, and well educated in early childhood education. You see and hear a lot of bad things about daycares in the news these days and I feel very lucky that we found this daycare for our kids because I don’t worry about my kids when they are there. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning which can get a little uncomfortable at times. But I think this is a small price to pay for a great daycare!
