Tiny Hoppers - Riverside South — Daycare & Preschool in Ottawa, Ontario

What parents say

• Karen Hudson

  My son has been attending Tiny Hoppers for 8 years and I could not be happier with them. The staff are wonderful, the center is always clean and filled with fun toys and activities. We have never had any issues with them. It's nice to have them available during snow days, PA days and summer. We've never had to worry about our daycare provider taking vacation or sick leave because they have so many amazing employees. Most importantly, my son is happy there and he's made many friends and memories over the years. I highly recommend this daycare to everyone.

  We absolutely love having our daughter here for preschool - she starts JK this September which is so bitter sweet. I wish we had her here sooner! She started when she was 3 years old. She thrives being in this environment; switching her from a home daycare. She looks forward to going everyday, choosing her outfits and drawing pictures for her teachers and friends. They do so many activities daily from pretend play, dress up, dolls, dinosaurs, painting, crafts and outdoor play. If you have your child here, you will have access to the Facebook group that provides daily updates and photos of their class activities. They also use another platform called Procare to send daily updates and info to the families. They have daily French lessons! The food - AMAZING. These kids eat the most bougie meals! Photos are posted weekly to the Facebook group. Chef Cheryl is an absolute gem who puts so much love and care into their meals. They aren't eating processed food like hot dogs and fries - she makes home made soups, veggie + bean quesadillas, rice and beans, naan bread, butter chickpeas, sandwiches, fresh veggies and fruit and so on! Everything is homemade. She even makes homemade cakes and muffins. Your child will eat a beautiful variety of foods here. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they eat here - nothing compared to any other daycare or center I've heard of - my son attended a different preschool in Barrhaven which was great, but nothing compared to Tiny Hoppers RSS. The owner Caron is a wonderful, loving and kind woman with a heart of gold. She is truly in this business because she loves children. The attention to detail, planning and curriculum is the best I've ever seen. They go above and beyond. She cares so much about the wellbeing of her staff. All the staff are incredible and kind. My daughter always talks about how much she loves her preschool and her teachers. Consider yourself BLESSED if you can manage to get a spot here. <3

  The amazing staff at Tiny Hoppers in Riverside South has been caring for my 3 year old son since he was 18 months. The owners and director are extremely family oriented, the teachers go above and beyond in their programming and attention to the children, and the chef in the kitchen is fantastic! The entire staff greeted us by name within a couple of days and most importantly, my son knew theirs, which spoke a thousand words :) We are so fortunate to have Tiny Hoppers in our lives!

  We absolutely love this daycare! Our toddler has been thriving ever since we joined Tiny Hoppers Riverside South. We can tell that the owner has very high standards for the staff that she hires. Our daughter is so excited to go there every morning and see her teachers and friends. Special shout out to Maddy, Eleny and Jennafer for being so kind, caring, and wonderful to our daughter. We couldn't ask for a better group of teachers. Thank you!
