Jolly Giant Childcare - Selby Location — Daycare & Preschool in Nanaimo, British Columbia

What parents say

• Alex Fortin

  My older child has been at the Selby location for 2 years (started at 1.5 years) and my younger for 7 months (started at 8 months). The staff are kind and playful, and I trust them. My kids are happy to arrive, my little one rarely turns around to say goodbye. My own interactions with the staff have been positive, especially when it came to enrolling my little one. Being able to enroll them together for full-time care, sooner than requested, made my life easier.

  Absolutely love this daycare! The teachers are really just incredible and caring and the best part is that they not only care for the children but the parents also. I couldn’t be more grateful about the level or kindness and help I have received from this Jolly Giant location. Thank you to Stephanie for being such a great nurturing and kind leader - she’s gone above and beyond to ensure everything is in order for me and the kids. And all the teachers who do amazing work everyday taking care of the kids with such love and kindness and even help me with my baby during drop offs so I can focus on my toddler. A big thank you to Komal, Danielle, Betty, Faye, Sophie, Anne, Sara, and Louise! You guys are all absolutely lovely and the best one could ask for their little ones.

  Before coming here, my son had a hard time adjusting to daycare life. Mornings were a struggle, and he would often beg not to go. But since joining Jolly Giant, he wakes up excited, grabs his backpack, and talks nonstop about how excited he is to play at daycare with his friends and teachers. There is always a fun new story. He comes home with stories about the exciting projects they’ve done that day, the games they’ve played, and the friends he’s made. He even talks about how the teachers cheer him on when he’s trying something new and support him if he's having a hard time. I used to be so sad taking my son to daycare, but it’s clear that the staff here genuinely care about the kids and are dedicated to their growth and happiness. I couldn't be more thankful for the support I've gotten from the teachers! Stephanie, she's been wonderful and on top of things, even so far as calling me to check on bringing extra things my son may need for different seasons. It's wonderful to see how she manages and creates a nurturing community that cares for the kids with kindness and love. The teachers even help me with my baby during drop offs, and both my kids absolutely adore them – super grateful for Danielle, Betty, Faye, Sophie, Anne, Sara, and Louise! My son even calls me "teacher Danny" sometimes haha! Thank you guys for giving my kids a safe and loving home away from home. <3

  Jolly Giant has been a fantastic experience for our toddler in the 3-5 class, and our baby will soon join the infant class. The teachers are attentive and do a great job updating us on his day. They also worked together with us to potty train and help him develop. Our son enjoys his time there and is always happy at drop-off and pick-up. As a parent, it’s reassuring to know he’s in a safe and nurturing environment. Couldn’t ask for more from a daycare.

  Our baby girl absolutely loves Jolly Giant! The infant class teachers are so kind and attentive, and they always make her feel safe and loved. Every day, she lights up when we arrive, and even on the tough crying days (which happen of course) the teachers calm her down and help her stay happy and thriving. We’re so grateful to Anne, Sara, Louise, and Faye for creating such a warm and caring environment in the infant room. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little one!
