Monarch Manor — Kid-friendly Daycare & Preschool in Toronto, Ontario

What parents say

• Mina Macdonald

  Both of my children attended Monarch Manor. From day one we were always treated with warmth and care from all of the staff. Our kids were always excited to go to daycare and enjoyed the activities, food and spending time with their teachers. We will always remember their experience at Monarch fondly.

• Tessa Lee

  My little girl loved her time at Monarch Manor. Her father and I both work long hours, and it was a huge peace of mind knowing our daughter was well taken care. The ECE's were wonderful - warm and genuinely cared for the children. The center itself is in a church and very bright, clean and cheerful. Lots of toys and equipment for the children. We were able to watch our daughter throughout the day, via a webcam system which was such a comfort. The food was catered daily and made with high quality and fresh ingredients. Every month parents received a calendar filled with theme days and activities. Highly, highly recommended.

• Martina Kusnir

  We initially considered Montessori but ultimately chose Monarch Manor, and it turned out to be the best decision ever. The play-based learning approach, which includes both structured and unstructured activities, has greatly enhanced our son's problem-solving abilities, social interaction, and emotional development—much more than we've seen in children who attended other daycares. The difference is striking. He’s also learned the academic basics and is well-prepared for JK. The snacks and lunches are natural and organic, and they even use natural materials in the classroom. The teachers are kind and enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. They nurture each child's uniqueness and individuality. We feel so lucky that our son spent three years at this incredible place. Rose, who runs Monarch Manor, does so with grace and fairness and is always available to help with any issues. Just terrific.

  Our daughter started at Monarch Manor during the pandemic and we didn't know what to expect. However, our anxieties were quickly erased when we saw how well run this daycare was. All of the staff were very friendly and we saw how much our daughter developed over the 2 years she was there. Post pandemic, she blossomed even more as they got to interact more and the parents got to come in and see how much fun the kids were having. I would definitely recommend Monarch Manor. Our daughter just started JK and we saw how confident and social she was on her first day. Her time at Monarch Manor was memorable and beneficial.

  My daughter has just graduated from Monarch Manor and I have nothing but positive things to say about this child care centre and it’s wonderful staff. Catered by Real Food for Read Kids, I was always impressed by the variety and quality of foods my child ate each day. The teachers are so caring, kind, patient, and you can truly see that they enjoy their jobs. All of these are wonderful things to see as a mother and as a former toddler/preschool teacher myself.
