“My family and I are fortunate to have our child at this location.
I wish this had been our only experience with daycare because it’s been so amazing since our switch.
We have experienced infant 1 and 2 and it’s more than what we could’ve expected.
The partnership we have or have had with staff and us as parents has been great.
Communication, feedback, and support have helped my child reach milestones.
As parents, we realize it’s a team effort, and our teachers are A-list team players.”

“My son has been attending since he was around 2 years old and is now almost 3, and is thriving at BP. The teachers are kind, caring, and communicative, and they keep me updated on his day to day, speech, and overall development, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I can tell that they’re really keeping track of his well being and how he’s acting day to day.
What also stands out is how welcoming the staff is, everyone knows my son by name, and that has been true since the beginning. When my son had a broken leg, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate him and make sure he felt safe, included, and cared for, which meant so much to us.
They have goals and are setting the kids up for success for school years while still letting them have play time. I especially love the playground and wooded setting and paths and how much time the kids spend outside when the weather allows.
While there have been some staffing changes, we mostly see familiar, happy faces. I would absolutely recommend Berry Patch to other families.”
“My daughter is obsessed with her teachers Mrs. Nidhi and Mrs. Ranjani. She is always happy to see them and loves going to school. They provide exceptional care for the children, create a nurturing and engaging environment, and provide a stimulating learning experience.”
“Our Son has attended Cadence for a little over 5 years now. He now attends there for the School age summer camp and Absolutely loves it. They go above and beyond to not just make it fun but yet educational as well. We have had an amazing experience since year one. The learning curriculum is top notch and the Teachers treat the students as their own. You won’t be disappointed and as a Parent “Daycare” is one of the toughest decisions!”
“We’ve been part of the Love and Laughter Preschool family for the past seven years, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Both of our daughters have attended, and the teachers have been nothing short of amazing. The staff is so supportive, caring, and truly invested in each child. Our girls have loved going to school every single day — it feels more like family than a daycare. We are so grateful for the loving, nurturing environment they’ve created and would highly recommend Love and Laughter to anyone looking for a place where their children can grow, learn, and feel at home.”
“As a stay-at-home parent searching for the right early childhood environment for my first child, I felt incredibly lucky to find Ethical Society Nursery School. From the very beginning, it stood out. The open communication, clear boundaries, deep investment in each child, and thoughtful balance of low-tech, nature-based play all create something truly special. But more than anything, it was the sense of joy and safety my child felt from his very first day.
Our son started in the two-day Green class in January, and the teachers and director went out of their way to make both of us feel supported, seen, and genuinely excited for this new chapter. From that point on, every stage of his development felt like a true partnership. We were never navigating anything alone, and as a parent, that kind of trust and collaboration means everything. On top of that, he has thrived in their play-based learning environment, and has surpassed all developmental and learning milestone while maintaining an joyful, supportive, low-stress experience.
Now, as our second child enters this same phase, I feel nothing but confidence and excitement for what lies ahead. I’m now a working parent, and the availability of before and after care has made that transition seamless. What stands out most, though, is how natural all of this support feels. Communication is direct, warm, and human. There is no barrier between families and teachers or leadership.
Even educators who have never directly taught my children know them, greet them by name, and show genuine affection and care. That speaks volumes about the kind of community this is.
Ethical Society Nursery School is a beautiful, intentional, progressive, and deeply nurturing place. We feel incredibly proud to be part of it, and I truly could not recommend it more highly.”
“We moved our children from a Montessori school to Goddard last year and have been very happy with our experience. The teachers and staff are amazing and take great care of the kids. With both myself and my husband working full time it puts my mind at ease knowing they are in the care of Goddard teachers and that they will be prepared when they go into kindergarten because of the curriculum they follow at the school.”
“I LOVE The Lab School. They truly focus on the students and help them construct learning. They offer a wide variety of activities and tools to elicit excitement and learning. They keep things small, all about the kids and fun. This is a fantastic little community. The best kept secret of Kirkwood!”
“We love Planet Child Care! Both of our kiddos spent pre-K years there and learned so much. The staff is kind and knowledgeable about how to best assist children. Also, everyone is friendly and approachable! Highly recommend for anyone in the Oakville area.”
“Finding childcare can be stressful(especially after a traumatizing experience with another center), but KinderCare made that transition so positive for us. My daughter was welcomed with kindness and patience, and it’s obvious how much the staff truly care about the children. She comes home talking about her day, what she learned, and the friends she made. Knowing she’s happy, safe, and loved while I’m at work is priceless. We’re incredibly grateful for the entire team and the positive impact they’ve had on our family.”
“Coming from a mom that was skeptical about sending her kids to a center for the first time, I have nothing but positives to say about Childtime. The kindness that each teacher has and cares for our babies like they are their own is unmatched. Huge shoutouts to Ms. CoCo (Nicole), Ms Breezy, and Ms Liz. Also to Ms Rachel for being the best director and very understanding and flexible. I highly recommend Childtime to everyone and their families❤️”
“We enrolled our kiddo here just before her 1st birthday, we are taking her out just before her 3rd birthday only because we only in need of part-time care, but this location only offers full-time. Our little one has grown and learned so much while here and the love and devotion of the teachers is so evident. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for full-time child care for their little ones.”
“South county KinderCare has been amazing! The director Ms. Angie and assistant director Ms. Whitney are wonderful and are so helpful! My girls love coming to daycare everyday and they love their teachers and everyone loves them. The check in and check out process is so easy and I love getting all of the updates.”

“Raintree school was an incredible experience for my children. As an educator myself, I had high expectations when it came to early childhood education. The teachers did an excellent job when it came to project based learning. It was enriching, challenging, and authentic. We saw much growth when it came to number sense and literacy skills. The teachers take the time to help all children learn about emotions, problem solving skills with peers, self regulation skills, and positive self image with a growth mindset. We chose Raintree during a year we knew our family would be dealing with a military deployment. We wanted a space where our children would be best supported and they were. They thrived in an outdoor environment and rich learning environment.”

“We recently switched to this center and our experience has been great!
Our child enjoys her time there and loves the staff and her classmates! They were helpful and patient during the transition period and continue to be very communicative. She has already learned so much!”

“Dropping my kid off somewhere really has never been easier. The ladies here genuinely care about your children. My 1yr old has been here for a couple months now, and she runs in the door she loves it here so much. She runs and jumps in the teachers arms almost everyday and watching that makes it that much easier to leave my kid here.
I feel like my kid is not only safe here because of the location and the teachers but I feel like she has also learned so much the past couple months. Almost every week she’s learned something new. From new words to new actions like cleaning or high-fiving. I really don’t think she could’ve learned so much so fast without the help of the teachers here. They really are awesome. Thank you!”

“Creme has been a 2nd home for all 3 of our kiddos. Our oldest went to summer camp there 8-9 years ago, our middle daughter was a student there from 1 until her Kindergarten graduation to our elementary school and our youngest has been there as an infant at 13 weeks to present.
The staff at Creme have become part of our family. I know that every day my kids were (and still is) cared for and loved. I typically spent time visiting with the teachers during pick up because it brings me joy to listen to how they are and the stories they tell about the day with the kids.
The kids have always had so many fun things to do there and learn so much! Many times, my youngest doesn't want to leave the dance room or the gym...I have to admit...the dance room is pretty fun (I know from experience).
Anytime I've ever had questions/issues they have always been addressed. Our youngest will be there until graduation to Kindergarten like our middle was.
I highly recommend creme!”

“Love, love, LOVE this daycare! I have always felt safe leaving my daughter in their care. The teachers are amazing & do so much for the kids & parents too! I cannot recommend them enough. My husband & I had originally chosen La Petite bc we had both gone there as kids ourselves, plus the fact that they have cameras was just an added bonus. At first it was nice to watch the cameras bc we wanted to make sure she was in good hands, & we all know how many daycares are in the news for bad things lately, so it gave us that extra assurance. However, after her being there for 2 years now I rarely watch her anymore, unless it’s just to cherish her enjoying time with her friends. I know she is in the best hands & will be treated just like family. My daughter loves all her teachers at La Petite & so do we!”

“I’m incredibly grateful to have found childcare at Future Foundations for my two young sons. Our family has had a truly wonderful experience with the staff, teachers, and directors.
While it's disappointing to see negative reviews, I understand—as both a parent and a small business owner—that people are often more inclined to share poor experiences than positive ones. That said, I know there are many families (likely the majority of those currently enrolled) who would agree that this is a safe, supportive, and high-quality community.
A huge thank-you to the amazing teachers who are both fun and nurturing, and to the directors, Jenna and Kathleen, for their strong, compassionate leadership. There’s no better team to trust with the care and safety of our children!”
“We absolutely love the daycare our child attends! The staff is caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children’s growth and well-being. My child has learned so much and looks forward to going every day. It gives us peace of mind knowing they are in a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. Highly recommend!”
