What parents say

• Gail C Bradley

  We had such an amazing experience with Good Shepherd Day Care Centre summer camp program! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and so attentive to the kids. They created such a fun and safe environment where my child felt comfortable right away. The activities were fantastic—everything from weekly excursions, crafts, and learning activities. Every day my child came home full of stories, new songs, and excitement about what she learned. The counselors were energetic, positive role models who truly cared about each camper’s experience. What I loved most is how the camp encouraged confidence, teamwork, and independence in such a natural and fun way. The camp includes all meals, which allowed my child to discover new healthy food options. If you’re looking for a place where kids can be active, creative, and truly happy all summer long, this is the camp for you!

  My kid attended GSDC for 2 years and has been in two different classes during the time there. This was the first school experience for my kid and we were very worried parents. All the teachers and staff there made us feel so welcomed and reassured from day 1. They are so personal, know all the children and parents by name and it feels like being with family. My kid loved it there, learnt so much and loved teachers and talked about them all the time. All the teachers and staff do such an amazing job everyday. They have a big indoor gym for winter play and also an excellent outdoor playground. I would 100% recommend Good Shepherd Day Care to any of my friends in the area. It is the best daycare experience we had and we are so grateful we got to be there for 2 years!

  We truly cannot express how thankful we are for the love, care, and support our son has received at Good Shepherd Day Care. As parents of a non-verbal child, we approached this journey with so much worry — not knowing if anyone would truly understand or support his needs. But from the very first day, the staff at Good Shepherd Day Care welcomed us with open hearts and open minds. They saw him as a charming little boy, not just his challenges, and that meant everything to us. To Ms. Ashdigh, Ms. Loleta, Ms. Regeene, Ms. Anna, Ms. Nicole, and Ms. Tanya — thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and your genuine love for our child. Each one of you has made such a lasting impact on his comfort, growth, and happiness. We see it in the way he smiles when we mention your names and how eager he is each morning to go to daycare. That joy is priceless. And to Ms. June and Ms. Michelle — words will never be enough. I always say you are God-sent, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness and understanding went beyond your roles. You made us feel supported on the hard days and celebrated with us on the good ones. You both will always hold a special place in our hearts. Since starting at Good Shepherd, our son has grown in ways we couldn’t have imagined — especially in his confidence and social interaction. Watching him thrive in such a nurturing, inclusive, and compassionate environment has brought us so much peace and joy. Thank you, Good Shepherd, for being a safe haven, a second home, and a place where every child is truly valued. We’ll always be grateful for this chapter in our son’s life.

  We’re so thankful that GSDC was our son’s first school. Over the past two years, he’s loved being part of the daycare, and we’ve had a great experience. The staff were always kind and supportive, and we truly appreciated the care and values they upheld. The Christmas and Easter concerts, along with the picnics, were beautifully organized and brought so much joy. Thank you for all the special memories during these early years!

  When our son moved to Canada at 2 years old, adapting to new situations and cultural changes was challenging for him. We searched for a daycare that could support his transition and offer ample play space, as many places we visited had limited play areas. After visiting several centres, we found that GSDC perfectly met our needs with exceptional care and a spacious play area. From day one, the staff at GSDC showed genuine warmth, patience, and dedication, nurturing our child’s unique personality and growth. Thanks to their engaging activities and structured routines in a loving environment, our son has blossomed socially, emotionally, and intellectually. We are deeply grateful for the support GSDC has provided and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a daycare that feels like a second home. Thank you for playing such a vital role in our child’s early years!
