Lifelong Learning Centre Whitby — Daycare & Preschool in Whitby, Ontario

What parents say

• Amir Rahim

  I know the owner and staff to be responsible, loving and caring. My daughter has always come back happy and excited to tell us about her fun day. The team of teachers work very well together and are always available to help parents understand the plan for each day/week. The meal preps and snacks are amazing. As a busy parent, I really appreciate this part of the service. The venue is very inviting and open. The access to the very large open field in the back is excellent for outdoor activities too. Keep up the excellent work. We need more child care centres that are run with such care and professionalism in our city!

  Lifelong Learning is an amazing childcare centre that I would recommend to anyone! They have an amazing large backyard for the kids to have ample outdoor time, and clean and organized classrooms. Both my kids loved their time here and thrived in this environment. I feel my preschooler was properly prepared for starting junior kindergarten. Ms. Sofia, Ms. Aaliyah and the team are so kind and caring. The teachers are supportive of the kids and very nurturing.

  How do we describe the life altering experiences this centre has gifted us! Our little girl had the honor of attending preschool at Lifelong in 2024. The excellent educators, staff, and overrall learning environment has made all the difference in nurturing her abilities and readiness for Kindergarten. Most of all, I want to thank Ms Archana B! Her affectionate and encouraging ways helped make our girl feel safe to be herself, to keep working on overcoming her speech delay. This centre is grounded in accessibility and inclusive educational principles. Even at times when we doubted ourselves, Ms. A kept us going, tailoring learning consistently to adapt to our girl's neurodivergence. With patience, compassion and respect, Ms A and every member of staff at Lifelong nurtured our girl to be her best self for JK, as they did for all the lovely kids there. Some of the best aspects of this center include the location. A secure, peaceful, and sprawling backyard where kids can thrive in the outdoors safely. We loved the center's orientation to consciously fostering early life skills for kids (toilet training, meal time, sharing, taking turns etc) These may seem like what happens at all child care centres, but everyone at Lifelong has affectionate ways that appeal to kids to try and learn more. Meals here are nutritious, and served in ways that even kids with sensory stimulation issues like our girl feel encouraged to try. Today we attribute every small win or accomplishment back to our girl's days at Lifelong, Whitby. Huge shoutout to Ms A, and also Ms Aaliyah, Ms Sofi and everyone who cared so deeply for our girl. Sending huge love and warmest wishes to everyone at the center!

  I do drop offs and pick ups for my niece as my sister is super busy working full time. Every single day I get updates from the staff that I can take back to my sister. They are so friendly and I always feel like I can approach them with questions. My sister said they also receive updates on an app and she can see pictures every single day. My niece never wants to leave and loves the backyard, it’s her favourite place to be and she always wants to show me what’s back there!! Thank you for making this an easy transition for my family!!! 🥰🥰🥰

  Lifelong is such an amazing place to send your kids to. My son has been with them for 2 years now and we're going on 3 and my little one is just about to join as well. Such wonderful and kind staff. I love that this daycare is set in a home renovated into a daycare , it has its charm and I love that the kids can actually play in a real backyard (with grass and trees!). They made my son's transition into daycare smooth and they are always doing such cute arts and crafts, they learn so much too. Every month we are sent a newsletter explaining what they will learn and focus on. I love that you get to stay connected to your little ones through the Lillio app ( where they send us pictures of our kids and all the info on what they are doing and how many diaper changes were done as well. The nap time length too) and communicate very easily with the teachers whenever needed. 2 snacks and lunch is provided daily. I recommend this place to any family that is looking for a loving and safe space where their child will learn and grow. Also parking is very spacious so easy drop offs and pick ups! ❤️
