  My son absolutely loves "school" and it's 100% because of the wonderful staff at Owl St Brigid, especially our #1 team in Toddler 2. They took the time to get to know my son, build a rapport based on trust and caring with him and with us, and as a bonus they know exactly how to handle his "indecisiveness" and silliness in a constructive way. He bonded especially quick to Emily, and she was really our rock during transition and remains special to us for the role she plays in my sons daily life. Steph is always calm and caring, especially when things are off to a hectic start at 7am - Her patience never seems to waver. Melody is always down on the floor with the kids reading books, pulling off snow suits or refereeing potty breaks. She will do whatever it takes with a smile in her face. I feel really good about the care and education they provide for my child every single day. My son is blossoming into such a smart, funny and caring child and this is the direct result of the toddler 2 program and how well it compliments our home life. My son will make pretend food at home and proclaim he is "cooking like Jen!". He sees the Flanagan food delivery truck in the parking lot and knows it has food for Jen to cook in it, he gets so excited. He adores her and when she brings food to his class I'm told lol On a seperate note, I love that educators I have never met or met only a few times know my son's name and he smiles and interacts with them in the hall which tells me they go the extra mile even when the child isn't in their primary program. I gush about the care our child receives daily any chance I get. My son loves his educators and his program and we love the positive effect it has had on our family, but mostly that Owl St Brigid is working with us to ensure Carter reaches his fullest potential with the best start all of us can give him.

  Our sons absolutely loves this daycare. He runs in happy and on days he's not there he asks when he'll be going back to see his friends. They were super helpful with potty training and send pictures everyday with a little story about what the kids did. The rooms are huge, too!

  The educators and staff at this center are amazing and are so kind in responding to all my concerns about my son's transition to daycare. They have kept me updated by taking the time to post messages on the parent portal along with pictures. Today was my son’s third day and he walked into the center by himself without the need to being carried anymore. It has only been three days but I already feel so much at ease with the transition. Thanks to the amazing team at Lincoln Rd!
