My son attended this daycare from 1 year old until he was old enough for Kindergarten. I cannot even express in words how phenomenal this daycare is. My son had such great teachers and care providers at all the different levels throughout his time there. The administrative staff were amazing as well and so inclusive, accommodating and supportive whenever there was a need. My son loved visiting Ms Tiffany in the office and giving hugs to any staff he would interact with. All of his Preschool teachers were amazing and helped my son in areas where he needed extra support - Ms. Daryna specifically was my hero for 2 years, she was so great with my son everyday and helped me with advice and support at home to ensure my son was ready for entering the school system. I am eternally grateful to ethe Read A Long family! I am always referring new parents to try securing a spot with this centre any chance I get. Thank you!

We did not have a good experience with my son here. He cried every morning before being dropped off. At first I thought it was just the new environment. But I did witness some not so great behaviours from staff. I walked into one staff yelling very aggressively at a child using the bathroom, another time I was called at work because my son wouldn't stop crying that it made him vomit. When I came to pick up my son, I witnessed one staff attempting to pick up my son by the arm to move him from a step. I get working with 3-4yr olds is hard, but I found the staff frustrated often and not very professional. This was 2019-2020

I have 2 children and we have used this daycare past 2 years and absolutely loved it. All teachers are very friendly and my kids were always happy there. They have always fresh homemade food.. Everything is very clean! When someone gets sick they isolate the child from others right away so other kids won't get sick too. I would recommend this place to anyone. We had some bad experiences in other place but this one is absolutely great.
