Parents' Peace of Mind — Daycare & Preschool in St. Catharines, Ontario

What parents say

• Jessica Oppenlaender

  Said they had infant space available to multiple families but it was only 1 spot. Extremely unprofessional how they handled notifying of space, and it being gone. Very rude.. if this is how they treat families during intake I will never send my child there.

• Dana Kennedy

  I could not be happier with this daycare. The staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and truly care about the children. I'm so happy with our experience and will recommend this daycare to everyone I know.

  I had my son in the merritt location when he was barely 4months old, they were absolutely great. The support was massive. He grew up there loving everyone and they were able to help me overcome the anxiety of having to put me little baby away to work. Thanks everyone for your help. We miss you all. Love Remi and Mama

  *344 merrit Street location. Most of the teachers here, with the exception of a couple, are stuck up and very unfriendly. They don't do activities with the kids they just sit around doing nothing while the kids play. BRANDY especially and RACHEL look like they have no interest in kids whatsoever. Im not even sure how either of them got hired. RACHEL is super rude and acts like its a chore to speak to you when you have questions about your child. But the worst is MEGHAN. MEGHAN has a habit of sticking her nose in your personal business and gossiping about it. My daughter had to be pulled out of that Daycare because of her. Please do not bring your children to this daycare. It is not a good daycare they do not care about the kids at all. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for your child care.

  Parents Peace of Mind St.Paul ladies, I hope you all know what wonderful ECEs you all are. My family and I sure do, and we appreciate it more than words can say. Finding the right daycare is simply quite challenging. As a mom of two boys and someone who works in childcare, I can relate. I know not everyday is easy and some are more challenging than others, yet you all still have smiles on your faces and share a positive part of the day to me. It truly means a lot! Part of being an ECE is providing a stimulating, caring, inclusive, safe, and clean environment for the children. The ladies at PPOM have never shown us otherwise. My son comes home talking about his day with such joy! Whenever I specifically ask him about his day, he always tells me about the part Mrs. Breanne was apart of. Breanne is the supervisor and one of the most genuine people we have met and the reason why we went with PPOM. She takes time out of the day to say hi and my whole family has connected with her well. She has always been and continues to be respectful and honest to my family. When selecting a daycare you pay attention to all details, especially to how staff interacts with your child. You want to feel that they are loved, well cared for and safe. There has never been a time in the last 2 years that we have ever doubted these ladies. All of their committed, nurturing and loving personalities shine through in my children’s happiness and development. Vanessa and her teaching partners have been truly amazing. Moving to the large preschool room was not an easy transition for my son. Within a few days he was looking forward to going to ‘school’. I really want to thank them for being extremely patient, encouraging and supportive, also to me, in his potty training transition. These ladies are professionals and I wouldn’t doubt their abilities for a second. ALL of PPOM staff, thank you so much for your dedication, patience, creativity and love for my boys!
