What parents say

• Diana Fong

  My daughter absolutely loves this camp! All of the staff are so attentive and caring, and they really took the time to understand her needs and make her feel welcomed and included. I always felt she was safe and in good hands, which gave me so much peace of mind. She looked forward to camp every single day, especially the weekly field trips, which were such a highlight. It’s clear everyone on the team puts so much heart into what they do, and it made all the difference. My daughter is already asking to come back next summer—we’re so grateful for this wonderful experience!

  My daughter attended the preschool full-time from age 2 until she started JK, and we had an amazing experience. The teachers truly care about the kids and the program is very well-organized. During the two years we were there, the teachers never changed, which gave the children a great sense of stability and comfort. At first, my daughter had a hard time adjusting, but the teachers were so patient, loving, and attentive. Thanks to their care, she quickly grew to love the preschool—she would go in smiling every morning and didn’t want to leave at the end of the day. The playground has a slide along with other play equipment that keeps the kids active and happy. The small class sizes also make a big difference; the teachers are able to give each child more attention and care. Occasionally, they go on field trips, including nature walks in the forest, which my daughter always looked forward to. A special thank you to Ms. Jewel and Ms. Roksana in the Preschool class—they are warm, friendly, and know how to guide the kids with both love and structure. We feel so lucky to have had them during these important early years. Saying goodbye after two years was really emotional for both me and my daughter—she was heartbroken to leave. I can honestly say we are leaving with only good memories. If you're looking for a small, nurturing, and stable preschool, I absolutely recommend this one!

  I have had two kids in this daycare so far and staff is always so helpful and friendly. I was very anxious but they helped me through the first few weeks of good byes, helped my daughter feel welcomed in the class and now she loves it. Especially she will be going to the same school in kindergarten, she is already loving her school. Totally recommend.

  We've had such a positive experience with Upper Canada Child Care. The staff are caring, professional, and truly create a warm environment where our child feels safe and happy every day. After the heartbreaking daycare incident in Richmond Hill earlier this year, we’ve become much more aware of parking safety — and I have to say, Upper Canada child care at Macleod's Landing handles it exceptionally well. Their drop-off and pick-up procedures are clearly thought out and supervised. There are proper barriers, clear signs, and staff present to guide parents and protect the children. It’s clear that safety is a top priority here, not just inside the building but outside too. Highly recommend to any parent looking for peace of mind!

  Our daughter has just completed her first month in the toddler program. Although she really struggled with the transition into childcare all of the staff at Upper Canada Child Care at MacLeod's Landing PS went above and beyond to help support her. All of the staff are warm, welcoming & knowledgeable about child development. They kept open communication with us as she adjusted to her new routine, always providing quick updates throughout the day when we asked and more detailed conversations at pick up time. In just a month we have seen such a change in her, she is more confident and independent. She is excited to get in the car and go to childcare each day and instead of crying when at pick up she runs to her teachers to give them hugs goodbye. I am 100% confident in her safety and wellbeing in the care of the amazing educators at Upper Canada Child Care at MacLeod's Landing PS. We look forward to many years of her continuing to learn & grow here!
