Hakuna Matata Child Care Center Inc. — Daycare & Preschool in Mississauga, Ontario

What parents say

• Santanu Chowdhury

  I’m so glad I chose this daycare for my daughter. She was very strong-willed in the beginning and cried a lot during her initial days, but the teachers’ patience and care helped her adjust beautifully. Now she enjoys going so much that she even misses daycare on holidays! The warm, homely atmosphere, along with the excellent hygiene and safety standards, gives me peace of mind knowing she is cared for like at home. A heartfelt thanks to the Toddler 2 teachers and the management for making this journey smooth not just for her, but for us as parents too.

  My 3 year old daughter went to Hakuna Matata Child Care Center and was in preschool class. I am thankful for getting a spot at this center. Below are the reasons I like this center: 1. Her teachers were very kind and loving. 2. In-house cooked fresh meal. 3. Very clean and secure premises. 4. Facility to see your child online while your child is at the Center 5. Disciplined routine for the kids. 6. Fun activities for kids around festivals. 7. Devoted and accountable owners The nap time was quiet time on bed, and my daughter didn't want to nap every day, so she was given toys and coloring papers on bed. This helped her to keep busy during nap times. I also started waking her up earlier in the morning so that she would be sleepy around nap time, and it helped a few times. I am thankful and would highly recommend this Center.

  I’m very grateful for the experience my son had in preschool at Hakuna Matata. It was his first time attending daycare, and in the beginning it was hard for him to stay, but the teachers were incredibly supportive and caring. Having cameras in the daycare also helped a lot—when I left him crying, I could later see him happy and engaged with his teachers and classmates. My son grew so much during his time there. The teachers were the ones who helped him transition out of diapers, and they showed great patience encouraging him to eat his meals. At home he can be a bit picky, but at daycare he started eating everything. He would always arrive and leave with a smile. Unfortunately, we had to change daycares because we moved, but we will always keep beautiful memories of the year he spent at Hakuna Matata. The teachers and staff were always helpful, kind, and willing to support us. Thank you very much for everything!

  We joined Hakuna Matata after a recommendation from a family member who works in reviewing childcare centres. No regrets! Everyone here treats each other like family. All the teachers and centre leadership know each child by name. They support your child’s major milestones. They keep us up to date with monthly calendars and newsletters specific to your child’s classroom. The optional live feed program was also great to relieve new-mom anxiety when you’re first introducing your child to daycare. Overall great experience. Will continue to keep my daughter and future children in this centre!

  My daughter has been going to Hakuna Matata since she was 1 year old, and we couldn’t be happier. The educators are incredibly caring, patient, and loving with the children. The learning system is very well organized and thoughtfully planned, you can really see how much the kids grow and learn every day. Such a wonderful place!
