Our daughter started at CEFA Early Learning Markham - Esna Park when she was just 5 months old, and now at 18 months, she has transitioned from the baby class to the toddler class. It has been such a wonderful journey watching her grow in such a caring and nurturing environment! The teachers have been absolutely amazing—kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to the children’s well-being. Her class teachers in particular are so friendly and attentive, making each day exciting and full of learning. The principal is also very approachable and warm, always creating a welcoming atmosphere for both parents and children. We feel incredibly grateful for the love, support, and care our daughter receives every day at CEFA. It truly feels like a second home for her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to her early learning journey. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a daycare that combines professional care with a family-like environment!

Nice, clean and new school in the area. Very impressed with the curriculum. Can’t wait to have my kid start on Spring time.

Love this Private School for my son, a little sad they are not apart of the Ontario Early Childhood Education program. Since it is pretty expensive. But the programs are well round and my 14 month old loves the teachers. So a win is a win

Absolutely terrible at communication. Doesn't pick up the phone, takes a long time to reply emails and their system often bounces emails sent back to them. Made an appointment to tour the facilities, wasted 40 minutes driving there and waiting for no one to show up.
