Andrew Rolfe
Ilan and her team made not only our son, but us feel so welcome within the Duro Street Daycare community! Everyday when we dropped off and picked him up it was all smiles and there was never a doubt he wasn’t in the best of care. He learned so much within his time there and we loved that everything was approached with positivity. We will miss having him there and are so grateful Ilan and Rupinder have been a part of his journey!
Gabrielle Alacchi
This daycare holds a very special place in our hearts. Anxious leaving our first child with anyone, Ilan made the transition seamless. This is truly her calling - and our son has absolutely thrived in her care. It has become his home away from home. She is patient, kind, and goes above and beyond for the kids in her care. I am amazed by the variety and quality of foods he eats, the activities they do, and how much love he is shown. His development has also progressed quite rapidly (using a fork, talking and walking). There is no place like Douro Daycare.

We are thrilled with the level of care our son gets at Douro Street Daycare. Ilan and her team have created such a warm, safe and nurturing environment, and treat every child like their own. As a working parent, choosing and trusting a daycare can be stressful, but our transition to Douro Street Daycare was flawless and worry free. We're so grateful to have found Ilan and her team. We could not recommend them enough!

Best decision we made was to take our son to Douro St. Daycare. Ilan is an incredible and lovely person who cares for our son as we would. She made the transition to daycare seamless and he has learned so much! He comes home with new songs and stories every day. He is thriving because of Ilan and everything they do at Douro St. Daycare ❤️
