What parents say

• Baillie Dinelle

  We absolutely love elder tree! Our son has been there for a few months now, and he always goes to the staff with open arms in the morning! My husband and I have noticed so much change in our son, in the short time he has been there. He talks alot more now and even uses baby sign language to communicate! We love the himama app, as it let's us know how his day is going with regular updates! Thank you so much to the staff for being a fantastic option for our little guy!

  My toddler has been attending Elder Tree Montessori for just over a month, and my husband and I only have positive things to stay about the centre and staff. We were considering other centres closer to home in south Barrie before we enrolled, but Elder Tree is certainly worth the extra few minutes drive at drop off and pickup. The himama app is great for communication about her day. We have enjoyed seeing what she eats for nutritious meals and snacks. The pictures we recieve of her exploring in and outside the centre always make our day. The caregivers on staff give a quick rundown about her day upon pickup as well. My daughter has only been attending a short time but already we have seen her gestures and verbal communication increase tenfold. The best testament to the care the staff at Elder Tree privides is that my daughter is always smiling and eager to go explore when we arrive. She goes straight from my arms into the caring outstretched arms of a qualified and cheerful educator. Thank you to Virginia and the rest of the staff for making the transition to daycare so wonderful!

  My 2.5 year old son has been attending Elder Tree for 1 month now! It is his first experience leaving mom and dad, and it has been an awesome transition. The teachers are so welcoming and always take the time to let me know how each day has gone when I pick him up. I love that! They have also accommodated for our Vegan diet, and provide him plant based healthy food at the centre. My Son is always happy when I pick him up abs excited to leave in the morning. Great place, I’m very grateful we found it. Highly recommend this Covid conscious, safe and fabulous learning environment for your child.

  I highly recommend Elder Tree Montessori!! The supervisor and staff are amazing, knowledgeable, observant, caring, and have excellent communication. I love the daily updates and getting photos of the activities my son is doing through their app. I absolutely adored their Christmas concert and love the other special events they have the children involved in. My son has grown and learned so much since starting. I know my son is in good hands during the day when he is in their care!

  We love Eldertree. We have been there since it first opened and honestly the place has come a long way. The current staff is amazing and Ms Virginia is so dedicated to ensuring the parents and children are happy and safe. We were offered a spot at another daycare and turned it down because the thought of leaving Eldertree was devastating. Our child loves it and is learning new things every day! I’m an open and honest book and would be the first to voice any concerns to the staff and potential parents considering Eldertree, and I can honestly say I have none. If I did though, I know I can go to the staff and they would actually listen and ensure my concerns are addressed.
