What parents say

• Laura Kalka

  We had such an amazing experience with Tiny Hoppers. It was our first time leaving our daughter with someone else and they made it so easy and comfortable. Our daughter always looked forward to seeing her friends and teachers and they always ensured she got to help out as that’s what she loves to do. The inclusion at Tiny Hoppers is next level and I highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a wonderful experience.

  Choosing a daycare for our (at the time) 18 month old during a pandemic when we can’t tour the facility or meet the people caring for our daughter face to face was very difficult. However, since day one, Tiny Hoppers has made us feel like family. Our daughter is now 2+ years old and my husband and I couldn’t be happier with the care she has received at Tiny Hoppers. Her teachers in Toddler One and Toddler Two have been great. Amazing communication. Also, Tiny Hoppers has an amazing director. She is very responsive to emails and any concerns that arise. We ALWAYS feel like family. As a paramedic and a nurse we understand the public health limitations and feel Tiny Hoppers has done an amazing job at keeping our daughter safe, happy and healthy. We would both HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tiny Hoppers to anyone looking for day care for their child. Covid is difficult. Tiny Hoppers has done an AMAZING job. 5 stars to everyone.

  Our daughter has been attending Tiny Hoppers Big Bay Point for 2 years and I can't say enough wonderful things about this daycare centre. Our daughter is ALWAYS excited to go to school in the morning, will often run into the classroom without even saying goodbye and will tell us not to pick her up too early (so she doesn’t miss any fun activities!). There is so much thought and creativity that goes into the activities, crafts and ‘special days’, they really make it fun for them to come to school every day. My daughter has created such special bonds with so many of her classmates, like a true preschool experience, and we know this is a direct result of the caring, safe, loving environment that has been created for her and her classmates by her teachers. Her teachers will welcome us to come into her classroom to share drawings or activities that the kids have been working on, which activities they will do that week and always includes us in her day. The directors of the centre always have their door open for any questions or concerns you have, and are so friendly and helpful with whatever you need. My daughter will be moving on to kindergarten this year, and we are sad we will be leaving our Tiny Hoppers family. We feel they have given her everything and more of what we could have hoped for in a childcare centre and have done an incredible job preparing her for school. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tiny Hoppers to anyone looking for a safe, loving and fun environment for their child.

  We’ve had an incredible experience with Tiny Hoppers Barrie. Our daughter started in October 2025, and from the very beginning, the entire team has been nothing short of amazing. The waitlists in Barrie are extremely long, and I truly wasn’t sure I’d be able to return to work. But thanks to the support of this daycare especially Neva, who was always so kind, warm, and transparent every time I called we were able to get Kassie enrolled, and it made all the difference. To the wonderful teachers Ms. Airy, Geraldine, Zara, and Naheed thank you for the love, patience, and care you’ve shown Kassie. When she started, she was non-verbal, and now she’s beginning to form sentences. The progress she’s made in your care is incredible, and we’re so grateful for the role you’ve played in her development. Also, Thank you, Ms. Tanya, for greeting our daughter with a warm hug each morning and sitting with her until she felt calm, it made such a difference to both her day and mine. Although we’re sad to be moving on, we’ll always be thankful for the positive and nurturing environment at Tiny Hoppers. You’ve truly made a lasting impact on our family

  My daughter has been going to Tiny Hoppers for 9 months and I cannot say enough good things about this daycare centre. As a first time mother, I was so nervous to leave my child and go back to work - but the staff at Tiny Hoppers, particularly the teachers in my daughter’s class, made the transition seamless. She has developed tremendously in her time there and continues to show new skills each week. She is moving into the Preschool class soon and I can’t wait to watch her grow and develop as she moves into her new class. I would recommend Tiny Hoppers to anyone looking for a daycare centre for their child. I will forever be thankful for the care they’ve shown my child!
