Abigail Placido
All of the staff are very nice and welcoming
Danielle
You can tell the staff genuinely care about your child! Wonderful daycare.

Honestly wish I could give this place 0 stars. My two-year-old niece went here and was treated horribly. The staff did not make her feel welcomed and often excluded her to the corner. Durring drop off staff would give my sister in law dirty looks because they did not like them. They also would give her a hard time dropping her off because they did not want her there. horrible place I beg any parent to be careful.
Nicole Rankin
The staff at FLCD helped make my daughter's transition from home daycare to centre absolutely seamless; she has loved her time here since day one. Communication has been great, her teachers are fantastic and always planning fun activities for the class, and I love that they have use of a full-sized gymnasium for energy burning on bad weather days. The waitlist is long for good reason!
