Top After school programs in Toronto, Canada

The Andisheh's will forever be a part of our family. We were so lucky to find them when my son needed care in East York. They are so attentive and show an abundance of love to each child.

Our son spent two years at Andisheh, and he absolutely loved it. Afarin and family took such good care of him. He was always happy to go there. The whole family is very generous and welcoming. The food is homemade, and we feel blessed as this made our son love real food. He eats everything now, all kinds of meats, veggies, and fruits. We try to cook similar to what he was used to at Andisheh. We were so sad to leave... We found a spot at a preschool in French, so we took the leap to prepare him for junior kindergarten. Otherwise, we had no reason to leave until entry to school. Thank you for everything, Andisheh daycare ❤️ 🙏

Fantastic studio with a great variety of courses.
Took Hand Building with Thomas and had such a fantastic time building a mix of pieces based on different techniques. This is a great studio that values creativity and fun in a low stress environment.

Thomas is an awesome teacher - you can always adapt the techniques to build a piece that suits you. He is super fun, caring and is even one of the competitors on CBC's Great Canadian Pottery Throwdown!

Can't wait to get my pieces back from glaze firing! And sign up for the next course :)

After searching for a good watercolour class for over a year, I finally landed at Create Art. The class was/is exactly what I was looking for. Stu teaches a quickly paced class that covers colour theory and technique. Each session has several projects that Stu guides us through with his vast knowledge, patience and great sense of humour.
Now that I am fully retired, I am hoping spend some more time at Create Art by taking another course or two. Truly a fabulous place to learn at any age. The vibe is positive, professional and fun, I highly recommend Create Art Studio.

Just finished a 6 week beginner pottery course with Thomas. I had a great time and learned so much! Here are a couple of my completed project and the rest are waiting for their final firing before I can pick them up, can't wait to see the finished results of the rest! Thank you Thomas for such a great experience

Intro to watercolour painting with Stu was better than I had anticipated! I learned so much and have such a new appreciation for this medium. Can’t wait to take another class!!!

We had our team building event at Create Art Studio. It was s smooth transaction in setting up the event and the team at the studio was extremely responsive and accommodating.
As first timers trying our hand at pottery Thomas was extremely patient with us and it was a wonderful experience.
LOVED IT !

It was a great time for the team and I am sure you will be seeing us again and also some other folks from our office !

Great experience for our team building event. Stuart (Stu) was helpful from the beginning of the booking process to end result painting. Thanks!

On behalf of the Faculty of Arts Orinetation Committee at Toronto Met University, if you are planning a a painting event book Create Art Studio!

Throughout the planning process Stuart was very involved in making sure our event would run smoothly and be fun and engaging for all attendees! Once the event itself came around the Create Art Studio team was extremely welcoming to all students involved in the session. It was so wonderful to see connections being made between students while working together to create such a beautiful painting.

The final turnout was so beautiful. We will be hanging it up in the Student Experence Centre at TMU as a reminder of what beautiful things can come out of working together and supporting each other as a team!

Thank you so much Create Art Studio!

oh wow

Such an amazing local studio! I’ve done a handful of different classes and workshops, and they’ve all been awesome. They have loads of options, from acrylics to digital art to pottery - I wish I had more time to try more!

Paint club is a great way to “find time to paint”. It’s unstructured (everyone works on their own projects), and it’s a great option if you want to work on your own stuff in the company of others - and Stu’s incredibly helpful and constantly giving tips and ideas if you want support. Great vibe.

The multi week classes are also SO good. A great mix of technical and practical (mostly practical), and you walk away with a handful of pieces.

I also love that they have one-session workshops, as they’re perfect when you can’t commit to a 6 week program.

Drop-in ceramic painting on the weekends is awesome for the kids - a great rainy day activity.

Everyone is super friendly, helpful and the space is bright and welcoming. Highly recommend :)

Andisheh Daycare has been incredible. My son has been with them since the beginning of May. Every time my wife or I drop him off, I know he’s going to be very well taken care of. At pick up he’s always so happy, laughing and smiling, I can just tell he’s had a wonderful day.

Afarin is absolutely amazing, and so very communicative, attentive and easy to work with. Highly, highly recommend !

If you're looking for the best, lovely care for your child, look no further. Andisheh daycare has been so crucial for our family. I felt guilty about going back to work, worried that my kid would be upset without me. Instead, my baby is just the happiest kid ever, eager to go to the daycare every morning and sad to leave when I go to pick him up. Sisila takes such a good care of our boy, going beyond her duties. She tries to accommodate every need, and you can tell that she truly cares when she let my little one to sleep on her laps when, or when she shares her food with him. When he sees her, he hugs and kisses her. The daycare has become a second family for him. Afarin helped me out many times and get parents provided the best birthday cake ever. I have no words to explain how grateful I am. I hope more children will be lucky enough in the future to be in your care.

One of the best places in Toronto to enjoy the nature with kids and alone.

We absolutely adore Andisheh daycare and loved taking our daughter there. They provide nutritional homemade food and snacks, fun and educational activities and the kids get to spend lots of time outdoor when possible.The smile on my daughter’s face when I pick her up says everything about the wonderful day she spends and reminds me how lucky we are to have them as our daycare provider. Afarin and Mojgan are two beautiful souls!

My son attended the High Park Nature Centre program for youths and he had an absolute blast! Informative and helpful instructors, friendly participants, lots of good outdoors time!

Such an amazing beautiful park in downtown Toronto , can visit all year round.

A great place to meet some friends safely with social distancing while staying out of the rain.

So relaxing. Lived in Toronto my whole life and dicided to go for a bike ride and walk through High Park. I saw so much wildlife and nature that I'm not used to seeing. Lakeshore was close enough to go biking too.

A wonderful place to relax or to spend a nice day with the family. A well-developed network of paths and varied views of flora and fauna. A lake, a small animal park and of course

My daughter has been at Andisheh Daycare since she turned one. We could not be happier with the care that she is receiving with Mozhgan and Afarin. They are incredibly kind, loving and patient with her, which really helped with the transition early on. She loves going to daycare each day and has learned so much since starting. The space is always clean and well kept and filled with engaging books and toys. Mozhgan’s homemade meals are healthy and delicious too. My daughter loves her food! We would absolutely recommend Andisheh Daycare to other parents.

My daughter has been with Andisheh Daycare for several months now and I have been very pleased with the wonderful care she has received.

Afarin is a loving and nurturing care-giver and she has gone above and beyond to accommodate my daughter's sleep routine. The food is always homemade and nutritious with no added sugars, which is very important to me.

The daycare space is incredibly clean and tidy and it fosters age-appropriate child development with plenty of books, toys and crafts, as well as daily outdoor activities. The covered porch makes it possible for children to play outside even on a rainy day!

Andisheh Daycare has welcomed my daughter and I to their daycare with love and kindness and has treated us like a member of their own family. This daycare is a wonderful place and I cannot recommend it enough!

High Park is a true treasure. The skating rink is great, hockey and leisure skate areas. The playgrounds are fantastic, the zoo is great and the food is cheap and delicious. I could spend days strolling around exploring and enjoying the nature and wildlife. Beautiful place.

My daughter has attended Andisheh Daycare for 6 months now and I could not be happier with it. Afarin and Mozghan treat her like a member of the family and she has so much fun with them every day. The house is always clean and welcoming, they prepare wonderful food that my daughter loves (and eats several helpings of!) and the kids have lots of fun and games throughout the day including trips to the park and library as well as parties to celebrate birthdays and other events. They are also flexible with drop-offs and pick ups which is helpful if I am ever running late. Andisheh Daycare have provided my daughter with wonderful care and they really have a personal touch which makes the transition from mat leave to daycare so much easier.
