Top Day care centers in North York, Canada

Would give this daycare more than 5 starts if I could! Have had 2 children attend this daycare and cannot say enough good things about it. My kids came home happy every day and were always telling me stories of all the fun they had at school during the day. The teachers are so thoughtful with planning fun and educational activities for the kids all day. They took amazing care of my children and helped them learn and grow. I am so grateful to all of you! A special thank you to Alex, Ruby, Michael, Erika, Grace, Nora, Rachel and all of the other amazing teachers that make this daycare the wonderful place that it is. We will miss you!

Highly recommend! Can't say enough good things about this daycare. We were fortunate to get a spot for my son in the toddler classroom. As new immigrants, our son really struggled with all the changes around him but the staff (Grace till date is my son's favorite teacher) and Alex (supervisor) made sure that they take all measures to help him adapt the new environment.
The teachers are loving and kind and responsive and will take time to tell you about every little detail. Their schedules are structured and well-thought out.
My son has been to other daycares (or should I say money making businesses), but this is by FAR the best one!

We loved our time at Northview Advent! My kid loves to see her teachers and friends every day, and she was so well-cared for. The indoor facilities are clean and bright, with lots of windows. The outdoor play space is nice and quiet, away from any major streets and feels very safe. We were updated via an app every day. And the supervisor Alex is extremely organized and communicative. Thank you Alex, Erica, Ann, Nadia, and Lina!

Best daycare! Our 17 month old is loving it. Amazing teachers

From our very first day at Gan Chabad, we have been continuously impressed and deeply grateful for the exceptional level of care and education our daughter has received. The teachers are truly delightful, not just in their teaching methods, but in the genuine care and nurturing they extend to every child. They have gone above and beyond to ensure our daughter's social and cognitive development, making learning fun and meaningful.

The environment at Gan Chabad is warm and welcoming, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging. It's a place where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow with confidence. The progress we've seen in our daughter is a testament to the dedicated and loving staff who put their hearts into every day.

I highly recommend the enriched child care center, which is conveniently located near my home. Both of my children attended this daycare, and I am extremely pleased with the teachers and their dedication to my children's development. My first child, who had difficulty speaking, made significant progress in learning to talk and forming friendships. Seeing this positive outcome, I decided to enroll my second child as well, and they experienced the same progress and happiness. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to other parents.

Wonderful daycare! My daughter attended the preschool program here for one year. We experienced some challenges in the beginning with her adjusting to the different routine etc. but by the end of the year, she looked forward to going there, to play, and do various activities and crafts. The owners, supervisor, and teachers are amazing. I appreciate the daily photos. My daughter developed her speech and social skills here and she has transitioned smoothly to her new school this year. Thank you very much!

Best place for my lovely Sofiia

My Daughter has been attending this daycare for 7 months and she LOVES it. She looks forward to attending everyday and we have seen improvements in her speech and counting and letters. She especially loves the music and arts and crafts. The staff are always friendly and give me updates on how she is doing.

Absolutely love having our daughter attend this daycare! Staffs are friendly, easy to talk to and very accommodating.. We feel so blessed we’ve been given a spot coz honestly even the location is great! Away from the road so it’s quiet but most specially my daughter loves and enjoys going here! So much improvement from her communication since she started and we are very pleased! Thanks Alex and staff.. We really appreciate you guys!!

Took a tour with my friend- centre is outdated like a lot of centres we have seen in the area. Children seem to be happy there and it’s a really small centre.

My grandbabies loves it here. She is eager to do to school in the morning to see her teachers and friends. The teachers are great at what they do. They potty trained our little one. The teachers are caring and attentive. The stuff the children are learning amaze me to see how much she has learned while being at the centre. Such a positive change in her development. Supervisor is also very organized and easy to talk to when I pick up with any questions I have or in email. She lets us know in advance when our little one is moving up to preschool. All the children stop by her office to say hi & bye. The facility and classrooms are clean and bright. Lots of natural lighting with big windows.

I wish this daycare would care more! Our daughter didn’t like to go to the daycare. Every morning she was crying when we drop her off and none of the teachers cared to comfort her.
Communication is poor, every time when I went to pick my daughter up, I asked how was her day , all what I heard was “great” , “she was good” - no details, nothing! At the end I realized there was no point to even ask anymore. Some of the teachers even didn’t greet! Maybe if you speak Russian, then different story! I’m not sure if some of them even spoke English!
There was maybe one teacher who was willing to have a conversation about my daughters daily progress and activities. I know it’s not an easy job and it takes a lot of patience, but if someone choose to do this for living, especially working with kids, need to show way more care and love!

I'm not exactly impartial! My grandchildren thrived in the Gan Chabad atmosphere --whenever I picked them up, there was nothing but smiles. My daughter, Morah Leanne was so moved by the wonderful experience that she accepted a position at the school when it was offered; now SHE smiles all the time when talking about Gan Chabad! It's a family love affair. Parents, I guarantee you won't regret your decision to entrust your little ones to Yehudis' preschool. We love Gan Chabad 500%!!!

Wonderful daycare! Warm staff, fun, well-balanced programming, and a stimulating learning environment. They really care!

Gan Chabad is an amazing program. The teachers are so incredible- they are so thoughtful, creative and enthusiastic about the activities and lessons they plan. My son started here when he was 16 months old and he is now just over 2 years old. He has grown and developed so much and a lot of that is thanks to what he’s learned at Gan Chabad. We couldn’t be more grateful for the love and support he gets from the program. We love it so much that our younger son will be starting in the infant class in Fall! Thank you Gan Chabad:)

We love being part of the Gan Chabad family! Our son has thrived under the care of the nurturing teachers and enjoys all the fun and engaging activities. We are so happy knowing that he is so well taken care of everyday.

Gan Chabad has been a nurturing, loving and intellectually stimulating environment for our son. The care and devotion shown by the staff is exemplary and we feel blessed that we found such an incredible place for our son to develop.

18 month old Milly and I have participated in the shabbat program and we have loved every minute. It is a warm, caring and safe environment and Bryna's thoughtful music is enjoyed by all. The activities are themed around family, holidays and positivity. I would recommend this to all.

Excellent staff! Planning to send my second daughter there too.

I enrolled my almost 3-year-old son at center for almost a year. Unfortunately, we encountered several instances where our child was involved in conflicts with other children, primarily regarding fighting for toys, resulting in the center ultimately dismissing our child. It was concerning that, in multiple cases, staff members did not intervene in a timely manner to stop these conflicts.

We sought advice from our pediatrician(s) who informed us that children fighting over toys is a common issue due to their limited ability to communicate their needs. However, pediatricians also advised that teachers should be able to intervene and prevent conflicts from escalating and leading to injuries.

Our child suffered injuries while at the center, including falling down stairs. Our child was injured when falling down the stairs under teacher supervision and left a "O" shape cut on his face, which raises questions about the center's safety practices and the adequacy of supervision provided.

When we expressed our concerns to the center's supervisor, she informed us that conflicts between children could not always be prevented, which was disappointing. Furthermore, the supervisor's response regarding our child requiring additional attention was insensitive and inappropriate. She referred to it as a "red flag," which felt insulting to our child.

Overall, we had an unsatisfactory experience with this center. The lack of timely intervention during conflicts, potential safety risks associated with the stairs, and inadequate response from the supervisor to our concerns were disappointing.

Would not recommend. My son got pinched in the shoulder twice in one day.

Our daughter enjoyed her time very much at Gan Chabad. She met new friends, learned and played and discovered all about the Jewish faith. The program is fantastic and the educators are all warm and caring people.

Amazing and compassionate staff. My daughter comes home happy every day!

This daycare has been a God Sent for my family. My daughter was so well taken cared of and loved by her wondeful teachers! My daughter learned a lot and had so much fun here.

The facilities are very clean and bright. I always see someone cleaning which is really very important esp with Covid.

They send parents the curriculum and activities that their children will be taught. Their menu are very well balanced and nutritious! And we love the updates we receive through the Hi Mama App!

But what really makes this daycare the best are the teachers and all daycare staff and Alex the Supervisor. The teachers here are really amazing! Very nurturing, caring, always smiling and very patient! Shout out to Armie, Ruby and Erika! My daughter is still talking about you all even after she moved daycare. Just goes to show that she was really taken cared of here.

If you want a nurturing and clean daycare for your children, this is the daycare you need!!

Thank you, Alex, Armie, Ruby, Erika, Grace, Nadia, Christina and all the staff here. I don't know all your names but we see you all and are very grateful!!

My son is in an Infant room and it’s amazing. I get updates on my phone (through an app) throughout the day as well as his pictures of activities. Staff is super nice and genuinely loves kids.
I’m confused about all the bad reviews.

This is an amazing daycare, my daughter absolutely loves it here and has made many friends.

Caregivers take the time to understand your child and their needs and treat them as if they were their own.

The food is great and healthy, my daughter couldn’t wait to go to daycare to eat the food.

The space is really nice and clean and has a large play area in the back with lots of things to do.

It’s also great they use the HiMama app and post photos of your child throughout the day along with food and sleep updates.

Our 3 year old son was very happy to go to Fantasia Child Care Center. The teachers there are great and the management is very professional. The FCCC team is always there to support your child's personality and skill development.
Our son has made great friends here and has had so much fun with his friends and lovely teachers.
My wife and I feel very fortunate to have been able to enroll our son here and would highly recommend this daycare to anyone.

This daycare literally is the best and our son enjoyed going there every day. He learned so many things and got fully prepared for school. Caregivers are so attentive and responsive, We also got so many updates about how our son’s day was going via HiMama, and he was always occupied with some fun activity with his friends. The food was super healthy and my picky eater was not so picky over there. I would give it 10 stars if I could! 👍

My son loves this daycare. The staff is so kind and caring. ALL of the staff have been wonderful but Pina has been so amazing.

Gan Chabad has been a warm and welcoming daycare to my 1.5 year old daughter. She was very shy at the beginning but the wonderful staff helped make the transition smooth and comforting for her. Since she has started daycare she has started thriving and truly looks forward to her days there. I would highly recommend this daycare for all parents!

Before registration I read all reviews but I didn’t believe! Unfortunately this daycare just terrible! My son has still scared from his teachers and all the different people which are not from our family. Now he is at jk, but he can't forget that day!
Please and please be careful!

Northview Heights Learning Centre has been great for my child. My child been here since he was an infant up to his preschool age. Georgeena and the staff has treated us like family. Never had an issue with the staff or facility. They have a great program of incorporating play and structure for the children. The program operation hours are long enough for me to do the pickup/drop-off. They use the HiMama app, and it is great for progress reports, pictures, messages/alerts, and pickup time. My child enjoyed every second at the centre. We would have keep our child at the centre until his elementary days; unfortunately, we moved to another area. It was heartbreaking when we moved, but we appreciate NH staff very much.

5 Stars easily.

Never entrust your children to these people. How many times has our son been seriously injured while attending this daycare? In most of them, neither the teacher nor the management was aware of it. We saw it while we picked the child up. After taking his picture and sending it to the school, the next day, they prepared an accident report and sent it to us. My child was traumatized at this daycare.
During the enrollment process, they asked for a refundable deposit. My child left school on July 6th, and I got the reimbursement cheque on April 1st, after nine months. During these 9 months, they neither replied to my emails nor informed me.

My daughter attended this daycare for 3 years and the level of care she received was incredible. She was always happy and she learned so many incredible skills. It has been over 6 months since her last day and she still talks about her teachers and her experience there.

Exceptional! Very carring educators. Planning to send my second child there too!

Amazing daycare, bright and clean. Very caring and wonderful staff and great bunch of kids. The teachers really make an effort in planning lots of educational activities for the kids that are appropriate for their level and are very engaging. My daughter is learning so much, she loves it here.

Im still waiting for my refund for the 2 week deposit, and a reimbursement for the month of April payment. - no updates or anything. It's gonna be 4 months now..

Just giving you guys a heads up
That you will experience this at this daycare

I guess..

They want you to be tired of waiting and contacting them to give up.

So they can
keep your money that you can use for your child's need. Specially this coming school year. Sept 2021 or your child's birthday etc.

Excellent care of my child.

Super Clean Facility
Supervisor and Staff/Teachers Are Amazing :)
Always Greet Everyone With Smile
HIGHLY RECOMMEND ....

This day care is a must try for those who are looking for a childcare centre. My son enjoyed his stay here, children are so sweet, and the teachers are caring and they do their job accurately. People are so warm. It makes me sad for my child to leave this place.

Stay away from this daycare!
Rude management!And they kick kids out from the daycare when they become 4 years old before September even comes so the kids can go to the JK so they can have more space for younger kids who can stay one more year since they know the 4 years old will be leaving on September anyway!
They treat their teachers really bad, and the teachers had a union that called for a strike and we had to no idea if that strike was going to happen or not till 4 or 5 days from the strike date! We saw good teachers leaving this daycare this year. Apparently, unhappy teachers equal bad environment!
Our daughter been to 3 different daycares, this is the worst ever!
She left the daycare more than a month ago and till today they didn't pay us back the two weeks deposit we paid them when she joined!

They waited till mid March till they gave us our taxes receipts so we couldn't file our taxes till then!

If you care about you kid, stay away from this daycare!
We have seen at least other 6 kids got kicked out during the summer, one of them has special needs and his dad told me his kid can't easily transition to another place! So, his kid will move to another daycare for two months (if they could manage to find a spot in other daycares) and then in September the kid will transition again to the JK!

What a truly wonderful experience for any child. A great start to a Jewish education

One of the best child care institution. Warm and sensetive. Kids love it.

Carousel childcare centre was a great place for our 2 children to start school. The teachers are warm and caring and the administration is helpful and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional childcare center in Toronto.

Like FAMILY.😉

Exceptional care, warmth and diligence by all daycare teachers. A wonderful safe community where my daughter learned to be independent, taught self care and how to self regulate, and learned pre-K skills.
