Providence Daycare Centre — Daycare & Preschool in Whitby, Ontario

What parents say

• Scott Brown

  I cannot say enough about Apple Tree Academy! It is an outstanding daycare. Being new parents, it is our first experience with daycare, but we researched and visited MANY. We had heard many horror stories from friends about their experiences with daycare, and so were expecting to feel nervous about leaving our daughter. However, the staff put us immediately at ease with their warmth and professionalism. The facility is super clean, and always organized - it looks like a kindergarten classroom, and is similarly run (We are elementary school teachers). Apple Tree provides us with monthly newsletters updating us of the recent and upcoming curriculum. They also provide us with as a daily update on our daughter's progress and habits (eating, sleeping, bowel movements, etc.) We are often gifted with a beautiful piece of artwork that our daughter accomplished that day. Our daughter is always thrilled to be dropped off, and often times wants to continue playing when we arrive to pick her up. She gets a lot of exercise in the outdoor play area that is accessible all year long, and is fed healthy, well-balanced meals. The meal plans are posted for guardians to see. Unlike most daycares, they offer part-time care for 1-year olds (which we take advantage of – full-day, 3 times a week), and their fees are very competitive. We absolutely recommend Apple Tree!

  Providence Daycare in Brooklin is a wonderful childcare center that provides exceptional care. My son attended Providence starting at 12 months, and each and every staff member was so kind to him, he was excited to attend every day. Specifically, Miss Kajal and Miss Amash in the infant room are true professionals and clearly enjoy spending their days with the babies, as they engage the children in thoughtful activities and ensure all of their needs are met throughout the day while having fun. Thank you to Ms. Lisa and her wonderful team! I would highly recommend Providence Daycare!

  Lisa and everyone at Providence Daycare are incredibly kind and caring. I had my daughter enrolled here for about 1.5 years, and it helped her get a huge head start for kindergarten. They were super responsive to all of my questions, and flexible with allowing us to do part time only. My daughter really enjoyed it here.

  Absolutely love this daycare! The staff are amazing, friendly and caring. I believe there is great value in their approach to childcare and education; my little one has shown advancement in his vocabulary and communication skills since attending Appletree Academy. Very professional, and enthusiastic environment. When I entered the daycare for the first time and received a tour- I was amazed at how clean and organized each room was. 4 months into care nothing has changed - very clean! I would highly recommend this facility to any parent seeking care - my mind is always at ease knowing my son is getting great care. THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF!
