What parents say

• Chantelle Morgan

  We couldn’t be more pleased with Helping Hands Rougemount. The staff are exceptional. They are kind, professional, and it is evident they care deeply about the children and families they work with. As first time parents we were incredibly nervous with our son’s inevitable transition into childcare, and we could not have asked for a better centre than Helping Hands Rougemount. Truly have exceeded all expectations! Our son looks so forward to going to daycare everyday. We can’t recommend enough!

  5 stars – A Truly Special Place! Helping Hands Daycare in Rougemount has been nothing short of amazing for our family! My son absolutely loves going there, and as a parent, that brings me so much peace and joy. The staff and teachers are incredibly genuine, caring, and kind — it’s clear that they truly love what they do and care deeply for the children in their care. I really appreciate the detailed updates and daily reports — the photos and notes they send brighten my day and help me feel connected to everything my little one is learning and experiencing. The food menu is well thought out, and the activities are always creative, fun, and educational. It’s so reassuring to know that my child is in such a loving, safe, and enriching environment. Helping Hands has truly become an extension of our family, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly! THANK YOU TO THE TEAM AT HELPING HANDS DAY CARE - ROUGEMOUNT. MY SON LOVES YOU ALL AND WE DO TOO! - Priyanka & Daniel Menezes xo

  I’ve had 2 children attend Helping Hands Rougemount and I’ve only had positive experiences. The meals are diverse, fresh and nutritious. The activities they plan for the kids are tons of fun and educational. My toddler is currently still attending and it gives me great peace of mind knowing that he feels loved and cared for when he’s there.

  I still remember the first time we interacted with Helping Hands Daycare Rougemount back in June 2020 when the world was coming to an end due to the pandemic.... or so we thought... Looking for a daycare for our 1.5 year old first baby was rough; When every other parent was taking their kids off from daycare to guard them at home, we needed a place we could trust to keep our baby safe while we went to work. We were not allowed to go inside the place to check it out or talk with the teachers or other parents as everyone was avoiding communication face to face. So we trusted the daycare and picked up our son at the end of the first day. He had the biggest smile on his face and although he couldn't talk yet, we knew Helping Hands was a safe place for our son. As the days became weeks and then months, we saw our son developing into something we just couldn't give him at home; a social butterfly that made new friends with all the kids at daycare, that perhaps molded his outgoing personality in today's present time. He eventually went to school and then our middle child went to her first day at this daycare. And although we could have put her at the YMCA with her older brother, we wanted to give her the same experience our son had. Our middle daughter has a very strong personality... Its her way or the highway.... So we were hesitant to send her to daycare. Once again, we picked her up on the first day and she had the biggest smile on her face, she didn't cry much, and she quickly gravitated towards her teachers, which is very rare for her, unless she likes them. She has now made 2 best friends since then. The 3 Musketeers they call them. Eventually our 3rd social butterfly joined Helping Hands, and she's having a blast every day. Perhaps too much fun being a little crazy and giving the teachers a heart attack , hahahaha, but that's a 3rd child for you; born to be a survivor and brake all the rules. All in all, my wife and I are super happy with Helping Hands Daycare Rougemount. Best decision we could have done for our precious children. They come home with smiles on their faces, new vocabulary, confident in themselves, and talking about new friends. We always recommend this daycare to any friend or pregnant mom we meet. It's also really cool to have known a lot of the teachers through the years. Giovanni and Raquel.

  It’s an intimidating thing sending your child to a daycare for 8-10 hours a day but watching my daughter develop and mature alongside her classmates over the last 3 years has been nothing short of amazing. The rooms are great, my daughter has always had good things to say about her teachers and we’ve always felt safe leaving her there.
