The School House Academy Daycare — Daycare & Preschool in Windsor, Ontario

What parents say

• Stephanie Smith

  My girls have been a part of the central location since they were 8 months old Leaving my kids that young is one of the scariest and most stressful things I had to do, but knowing they were in good hands at the school house made it much easier. The staff has always been so welcoming, caring and attentive to their needs. It’s such a beautiful place with so much to do and what I love most is the educational side of it with the science room, the library and the garden room, the children learn so much at an early age. I highly recommend this daycare and have recommended many times.

  From one mama to another: please, think twice before sending your little one here . After almost a year and a half at this daycare, I can honestly say it was one of the most stressful experiences because of the way it’s managed and the constant rotation of teachers (something you’ll also see mentioned in other reviews). The food portions and quality were shocking—very little nutritional value. For example, I personally saw them serve half of a mini cupcake or a quarter of a waffle, and if a child asked for more, they were told “no more.” I will attach a sample of their food menu so you can see for yourself. We met some amazing teachers there, but unfortunately, they never last long. Most leave for other daycares because of the management. This daycare plays with people’s lives and doesn’t seem to care, probably because they know there’s a long waitlist. From the bottom of my heart, my advice is: don’t send your kids here. Switching my toddler to a different daycare was the best decision I’ve ever made for both of us. I’m sharing this so no other parent has to go through what we did replying to the owner It’s disappointing to see how your response reflects the values you claim to stand by—especially when it involves publicly sharing details about a child that should remain private. What you stated is not only incorrect, but also unfair, and in doing so, you’ve only proven my point. My child has been working closely with a caseworker who can confirm his significant progress, and as his parent, I’ve not experienced the issues you’ve described. To suggest that a 2-year-old poses a safety threat to staff is difficult to take seriously. Let’s be honest—this felt more like a convenient decision to move on to the next child on your long waitlist. And for the record, I had already made the decision to withdraw my child before you sent the notice to shorten his hours with just four days’ notice. Parents deserve honesty, transparency, and respect—not public blame or deflection. I stand by my review so others can make informed decisions. I’ll also be attaching photos of the food provided, because I was simply being honest.

  This was the worst daycare experience. The quality and portions of food were poor, and there was a general sense of carelessness. They showed no compassion or understanding for parents’ circumstances. For example when my son needed surgery and I provided a medical note stating he required two months off, they still made me pay the full fees just to hold his spot—knowing how hard it is to find childcare. I’m so glad I switched daycares my son is much happier

  I'd heard it was a very nice daycare, however might be a good idea to call and confirm you are actually on the waitlist 2/3x, and that your request wasn't tossed in the garbage immediately.
