Reviews
Keep in mind I'm only reviewing the food court, not the club.
When I ordered, I asked the staff what "M" and "NM" were on the menu. “She explained: "M is a member, and NM is not a member." I said: "Then I am not a member .”(my husband is a member, but he is playing hockey and not around, so I didn't use his membership number). I felt the tone of her voice was Not very friendly either, when my son asked about the price of the drinks, then she started to express her impatience. When we finished ordering and it was the turn of the next customer, her attitude immediately changed to become friendly.
I immediately thought she was impatient because I am Asian and my English is not good, and I feel race discrimination.

Great food options, lift tickets are much more reasonably priced than Whistler. Friendly staff, the lifts and gondolas are all nice. The mountain is incredible skiing and very big. Even though there can be a lot of people the slopes don't feel crowded. Well worth the drive.
Beginners BEWARE! The green trails here are for “advanced beginners” I would say. I write this review from my “beginner/sporadic skier” point of view. The magic carpet is great and actually has a pretty nice area, you can take a second magic carpet for a longer run. After that the “easiest” green is easy street which starts out pretty flat but then it becomes somewhat steep. It merges with the last part of an advanced run, so go figure lol. It’s doable and we enjoyed it a lot but would not even try the other greens which I’ve been told are even a little more difficult. I liked it because it was a challenge for me and I think it helped me progress but some people may find it overwhelming.
The service however is great, the staff is super friendly and well organized. The views are breathtaking. Overall a great experience.
Oh! They offer a “progression” pass which includes only the magic carpet and easy street. You can upgrade it later (paying the difference) if you find easy street too easy for you. I probably should have done that.

The mountain is amazing. The service is well organized. We spend half a day trying different runs and nothing got repetitive. The views are so beautiful you just want to stop and admire.Next time definitely a full day for this awesome ski resort.
I'm from the US but I've also been to a few resorts in British Columbia including Whistler.
That being said this resort blew me away in terms of views, ski able areas, fast/high lifts, and especially... short lines! It's probably the best resort I've ever been to so far.
Parking can get a little bit unwieldy and there's spots on the road for a while but you might have to walk a short distance.

Very pleasant staffs.
I cannot recommend this child care more. The staff here are truly incredible. Each room is staffed with the kindest most dedicated people who show so much love and patience for our little ones. Each day and I am more and more impressed. It's not easy entrusting strangers with your babies, but the staff here quickly become family.
Best place! Highly recommended
My baby is going to their infant room. I’m so happy that he is there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It’s not easy to start to visit daycare in so early age but they are assisting so much! Very appreciated them!
This place is great! The staff are lovely, knowledgeable and caring. They have a better ratio of staff to students than I've seen anywhere else. The philosophy is play based, and they know their stuff. H&s is well attended, as is cleanliness.
The admin staff are also responsive, and supportive. We are delighted that they could take our infant--- it's tough to be apart from your child, but it makes it a bit easier, knowing your Bebe is in good hands. Bebe comes home exhausted and happy.
There is no app, but I like this approach more, personally - it's great communication we really appreciate as parents.
Thank you for taking care of our sweet little one. ❤️

I love this Montessori, my son has learned so much since enrolling at 18 months and now he's 5 years old. He knows how to read long stories 15 pages (a short paragraph a page), math (+, -, x and ÷) and even learned a bit of French! He knows how to write short stories etc. I would give this Markham Montessori 10 stars if I could... Ms. Connie is an amazing teacher and there is nothing bad I can think of to write about this place. I would recommend this place to everyone looking to put their kid into a Montessori!!
I was disappointed! All the ads suggested that I’d have a great chance of seeing wildlife, especially grizzly bears and I didn’t see any bears. Not even a deer. I saw a squirrel and a gray Jay. It was a beautiful ride though and the scenery was spectacular. The Wildlife Interpretive Center was great and even offered free coffee and hot chocolate. The restaurant at the main building was fair. I had a burger there. Had to wait a while for it. There’s a lovely gift shop. There’s supposed to be a restaurant at the top but it was closed.
Chapel Day Care has been an absolute blessing for our family, and I couldn't be happier with the care and education my child is receiving.
The teachers at Chapel Day Care go above and beyond to create a nurturing and supportive environment for the toddlers. My child is not only well taken care of but also encouraged to explore and learn, which is so important at this early stage.
The management at Chapel Day Care, under the capable leadership of Ms. Patty and Ms. Christina, is well-organized. Their commitment to ensuring that the center runs smoothly is evident in every aspect of the daycare's operation.
I'm particularly pleased with the preparation for Junior Kindergarten (JK) that my child is receiving. It's clear that the curriculum and activities are thoughtfully designed to prepare children for the next stage of their education.
In conclusion, the teachers, management, and the entire team are doing a fantastic job, and we feel lucky to have found this exceptional daycare.

We moved back to Markham after living in Oakville for a few years. I was heartbroken to be leaving a wonderful Montessori school that my 4 year old daughter loved. But after calling numerous schools and daycares, visiting, reading reviews we decided Chapel Place would be where we wanted our daughter to attend and I was so happy with our decision. Our daughter really thrived there. Patty and the staff were wonderful and caring. Lots of fun and although it was only a short stopover before she started JK, they really helped prepare her and made transitions easy. Highly recommend!
the rock was on in bathroom and there was pp on the floor
Ski resort is awesome. The log building are extraordinary. Took a gondola up the mountain for views, saw 2 bears. Nice gravel trails, bear fencing, great view platform. Unfortunately the bistro and deck were closed for the season. Would recommend.
Breathtaking views and overall a great experience! I've been here multiple times, but this is the first time we caught the golden hour colours of the mountains reflecting on the calm lake. It was such a wonderful moment. Make sure to arrive early to get a praking spot! This is absolutely priceless!!!
highly recommend ..been a great place to raise our kids and play hockey, tennis and hit the pool in the summer
Best day care in the Markham, all the teachers are so cooperative , informative, loving, caring . I had done my college internships ( placements) in this daycare . Had a good experience with this day care. Supervisor miss sheri is also so nice . I love the way she talks with all staff , students. I definitely suggest everyone if anyone want to do their placements then do it in all about kids day care centre. Awesome experience i got from this daycare. Gonna miss this centre. Best experience ever i got☺️☺️.
Thankyou😊
Thankyou😊
On our recent trip to Lake Louise, we decided to take the Lake Louise Gondola ride. We were pleasantly surprised to find free return transport from Lake Louise village to the Gondola which was prompt and comfortable.
You enter via the Ski Lodge which in itself is a great visitor attraction. It has all the charm you would expect with a great café, visitor shop and friendly welcoming staff.
The ride to the top of the Gondola was comfortable with full panoramic views over the lakes and mountains but the best part of the view was the grizzly bear we spotted casually munching his was along the slopes.
At the top there is a great interpretive centre that has animal exhibits and information on the local area and history. There are several hiking trails at the top that aren't too strenuous and deliver top class views, there are also plenty of picnic areas to enjoy the pristine wilderness when you’re at the top.
Overall if you are visiting Lake Louise in summer, you should really give the gondola a visit.

Not sure what kind of club this is that the VM says the office is open from 6am to 10pm but I've been calling their number 5 days in a row on Weekdays between the hours of 10am-4pm and no one responds!
My son started in the infant room at 10 months old, and I cannot say enough good things about this daycare. The teachers are so loving and attentive, they always remember details about my child and our family, and treat him and us with so much love and respect. I was so nervous to drop him off for the first time, but their reassurance and guidance gave me so much confidence and now when I go to pick him up he just wants to keep playing! I love that they are culturally sensitive and value diversity. We speak a language other than English at home and the teachers picked up a few words and use them with my son to make him feel comfortable. Sheri (the Supervisor) also has been so helpful and answers my frequent questions by email in a timely and thorough manner. We have been with AAK for almost a year now and I have only positive things to say. Highly recommend this location!
I was hesitant to start my little girl in daycare, but I'm fortunate and lucky to have chosen Little Steps. The transition was so smooth with minimal tears for a toddler that was with me until 3 years old. The teachers are amazing, caring, and taught my daughter so much independence within just a few months. The team is completely transparent, and care so much for the well being of your child.
There's a great variety of foods, exposing them to different fruits, veggies and proteins.
Everybody treats you like family, so don't hesitate to join the family! I'll miss everybody once my little girl graduates!

Both my daughter attended this daycare since the age of 1.5. Went there until they attended JK but also attended their summer camps until age 6. By far the most caring and loving teachers here that genuinely love the kids. Ran into the owner Patti recently and she recognized my girls who are ages 15 and 11 which says a lot. If you’re looking for a daycare just come here.
It's a good school but the bathroom has some pp on the floor and it smells disgusting OMG clean that
Both of my children have attended this daycare and we love it there. The staff truly care about kids and many of them have been there for years, which was important to me as our last daycare had high staff turnover which affected the quality of care.
Also, because they operate as a nonprofit organization, their fees are very reasonable. All around, an excellent childcare setting.

Very old facility, a maze of hallways and stairs to find dressing rooms, almost no seating. I don't think they know that they can clean Plexiglas.
I wish I could give this school, and Ms. C., a thousand stars. I can’t speak highly enough of the level of attention, care and training my son, raised during the COVID years, has received from this school. The teacher, probably one of the kindest human beings you’ll ever meet, is authentic and invested in the children that attend the school. The traditional Montessori school was established by Ms. C., more than 20 years ago and truly adheres to Maria Montessori’a pedagogy. Through the program, my son has been able to develop his own initiatives and natural abilities, at his own pace, through practical play.
Prior to attending Markham Montessori School (MMS), my son was anti-social and lacked communication skills due to lack of socialization stemming from the pandemic lockdown. Now, my son is thriving, independent and loves school. Thanks to Ms. C., and her team’s care and patience, my son loves to read, communicates better, knows how to use the potty and partially dresses himself. I mean the teacher and staff are wizards and are incredibly astute in their job and beyond. My partner and I love this school so much that we have focused our home purchase expedition primarily in the Markham area. We have also added my second kid, at just four months old, to the school’s wait list to afford him equal developmental opportunity and access to this sought-after school.
I can go on forever about this school and our MMS community. It’s amazing and rare. Don’t think twice, enrol your child immediately!!!
On a final note, I think Ms. C., and her team should be honoured as National Treasures. Trust me, Harry Potter ain’t got nothing on the magic of MMS.

Ms. Connie is super passionate about children and she is also humble in accepting praise on the amazing montessori guidance and strong academic foundation she instills in each and every child.
Our family is blessed to have both of our boys at her school (since 18 months) and they will both be completing JK, SK and grade 1 at Markham Montessori School primarily because of the strong academic curriculum of reading, writing, math and science.

Very stinky because much pp on flor
no AC
Super loving and caring teachers and staffs. My daughter has been attending CPDC for 3 years since she was 3 years old and it’s like her second home. She loves here so much.
The best daycare! My child is in toddler room. The teachers are so caring and loving. They provide updates, photos and videos everyday to let me know how my child is doing. Because it is a small size daycare, everyone is so close like a family! They are very accommodating my needs. Supervisor is flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
I can't say enough amazing things about Chapel Place Daycare. Both our boys have gone through there, they have been loved and cared for by the staff. Our older one still tells us regularly about how much they miss their teachers. Our family would highly recommend this daycare to anyone.
My kids have been here a short time. The first thing I noticed about this facility was how clean it was, as we continue to go it is something I see kept on top of. The staff are so friendly and sweet with the children. Definitely a great place for children to be.
Clean environment, healthy foods and amazing teachers! All the teachers are very friendly, patient and professional. They provide playtime and plenty of learning activities. Preschoolers are fully prepared for JK. I truly appreciate all the teachers have done taking good care of my kid.
We love Little steps daycare, the teachers there are absolutely amazing. We sent both of our kids there. The daycare have really fun events throughout the year (Markham fair ground, fire truck visit, Santa clause parade and many more). Our kids get to learn outside of their classroom, and experience things they never could have had in a classroom setting. We are thankful we have discovered Little steps and feel very lucky that our kids get to grow up in this fun-loving environment.
Little Steps is the only daycare I trust to care for all 3 of my kids. The teachers are awesome and the kids are happy to be there. They helped make the transitions easier with texts/email updates to parents. The teachers helped my kids progress with their literacy skills, sharing and potty training. The center is kept very clean and they do a great job adhering to the health/safety protocols to keep everyone at the daycare safe. I’d highly recommend checking them out!
Love this daycare! All of the teachers are very patient and take good care with the kids. The teachers have the way to help the kids how to write and read. They provide the healthy meals to the kids. I am highly recommend to send your kids to this daycare.
I started sending my now, 2 year old, daughter here since May of this year.
Teacher Afia and her family have been so warm and caring in their approach with her. The love and care my daughter has recieved has been as if she is their very own.
I appreciate the regular whatsapp updates, pictures and just the genuine concern when she isn't able to make it to daycare due to some reason.
She grown so much in just a few months;
1. Started to eat on her own more often
2. Being more verbal about her requests.
3. Being more independent with self care and hygiene
4. Engaging and interacting with peers her age.
Everytime we pick her up she talks about how she misses her teacher.
It's so comforting to know that she is thriving and enjoying herself.
I am truly so greatful and lucky to have found such an amazing daycare and would recommend it to anyone! I've been through 3 different daycares for my older daughter, but never have infelt so confident in my decision. Allhumdullilah
Thank you so much Epicville!!

I feel very lucky to choose Little Steps for my little one. Amazing teachers with so much heart and caring mindset. It’s wonderful seeing our daughter get excited about going to daycare here. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualized way. Especially for the preschoolers, teachers are trying to help the kids get fully prepared for their kindergarten. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to the whole team at Little Steps. I would recommend this school to anyone that is looking for quality care and great prices!
I highly recommend little steps to everyone.
The teachers are very patient and experienced. They love and care for the kids. My kids learn a lot in little steps，social skills, music, art, science, geography, table manners, etc.
The school is very sanitary and offers a good variety of foods in house.

Over the past 6 years my children have received nothing but amazing supervision and care from the staff's and supervisor at Guildwood Childcare Centre. I can’t put into words the patience, passion, professionalism and sacrifices the staff make daily for my children. Thank you for all you have done over the years!
I’m playing west van this year and so excited to play in such a good facility. In the past years when I have played there the staff is very friendly and the change rooms are very clean and nice.
This review is based on our own experience. It was happened during the Covid time. And we will never ever regret to sending my kid to Epicville Home care center.
We are sooooooo excited to be new parents but also accompany with nervous, anxiety, and lack of handy help. My wife got baby blue for the first couple months. She was always crying up and down at home with hung the kid. To avoid the situation getting worse, we have to find a reliable daycare/home care to sent the baby, and let my wife go back to work.
You know, pandemic happened made the world changed a lot! We did a lot research at least 10+ daycare/home care around us. We were told either some daycares cut down infant program or no spot available, even a Montessori school had no reply no response no follow up no respect ‘famous’ daycare, I can tell it’s principal her eye only looking for the money.
Luckily, we narrowed down 3 home cares to compare and we finally selected Epicville:
1, Afia, ECE certificated, is absolutely great to deal with . She has full of knowledge, professional, and patient take care of kids, especially for infant(under 18 months)
2, Mariam, the administration, is responsibility to sharing each kid’s daily moments photo, videos and holiday announcement.
3, at that time, Ratio was 1:4( it supposed to 1:5). Kids there looks nice and friendly in the classroom.
4, Lots of toy, home care with education. We were shocked that my kid learn a lots of skill at Epicville he was soo little. They do teach
5, Multi culture classroom, Canadian style! If you love or you multi culture will bring the brain development. It is a good choice.
Lastly, they gave little kid extra attention! My son have sensitive skin, they changed the diaper accordingly not just by rote.
We appreciate all Epicville’s help when we most needed! We 100% recommend this home care. It can be trust to send your kid to there. People here are all very nice!

Don’t recommend. Bad experience not friendly and very expensive.
My child attended here for four years and we loved the staff and the facility! My child was in tears when she left and has fondly remembered "The Center" many times since we've move on. I would highly recommend this early learning center to any parent. GIve Andrea a call and let her share more about this amazing place!
Very caring and friendly staffs. Price is very reasonable. Both of my girls go there since they were 16 months old and have been loving it since then. They send you updates everyday on how they do, how much they eat, how long they nap...etc. They helped with potty train and guide us through the whole process. Both of my girls were out of diaper since 2 years old. They also offer before and after school program and spring/summer camp. My older one loves their summer camp there as there are different activities on daily basis. They also do field trip and they would have performers come to daycare to interact and perform for the kids. Last year they also have soccer shot clinic every Tuesday. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for an affordable and reliable daycare.
Please avoid sending your kids to this school!
From viewing on the camera, you can see they force each kid to play one toy on their own table every single day. They don’t allow kids play with each other in the room. There’s no interaction between teachers and kids, no teaching at all. The teacher always just standing there chilling and make sure every kid stuck on the table playing that one toy. We used to live in another area and my son used to enjoy going to daycare every single day. After transferred to “All About Kids”. I no longer see my son smiling after school. Also, I’m really concern about the school sanitation, my son got sick for two weeks after went to this school for one week. In terms of their outdoor playground. It is extremely small. The supervisor Sheri, does not reply email. We ended up withdraw from this school. Tbh, given this price, I can find much better daycare or even Montessori

Cannot say enough good things about the staff here. Our son started at 10.5 months in the infant room and the staff made me feel so good and confident that he would be okay… and they were right! The love they show for him is truly special and hard to explain until you see it. He has now transitioned to the toddler room and is absolutely thriving - He practically jumps out of my arms every morning to go inside. I used to login via their webcams to see what they were doing throughout the day and I can’t tell you how many times the staff truly warmed my heart with the care and love they show all the kids. I still do login once and awhile (out of curiosity) but I’m beyond confident our son is having fun and being well cared for!
Afia and Mariam are a pleasure to work with. Within a week of being at Epicville I noticed my 11 month old develop new interests and hit new milestones. The centre is warm and inviting with a focus on nurturing child development. Absolutely love it!
The most amazing staff who are reliable, caring and so hands on with the kids. When I had to transition back to work after mat leave I spent hours and hours putting my son on the list at multiple day cares. Not only was this the first daycare to reach out to me around the time I requested for him to be enrolled but they also have such personable staff from the site supervisor to the teachers to the staff that come in for shorter shifts to cover absences or lunch breaks. The teachers in the infant room are such a great team and work together to ensure kids are so well taken care of.
I cant put into words the level of care my children had received over the last 11 years, by the amazing individuals of Guildwood Childcare. This extremely caring and understanding team, has left an everlasting mark on both my children. The extent of measures they take, and lengths they go...to ensure every need of every child is catered in every way....is simply remarkable. I am truly sad, that the time to say goodbye has finally come. With a genuine heart, I respect them and appreciate the contributions they have made in our lives. Thank you, to all you amazing people. You will never be forgotten, you will be in our hearts forever. And we promise to visit soon ❤
With so much love

My son Jaxon started at Guildwood Child care centre when he was just a year old. Sadly we had to say our goodbyes as he was leaving for kindergarten. I can't thank all the staff enough for taking care of my son and teaching him so many things. If you are considering this establishment, I highly recommend sending your children here. They are very nurturing and make every child feel so special. To all the staff I will forever be grateful for all that you did for Jaxon!! We love you all and we will miss u xoxo We will be sure to visit!
I Love and trust this daycare so much.They are clean and I know when I am working, these teachers are treating my kids like they are their own. My children are 9 months and 2 years old, I recommened this Daycare 100 percent!!! Very clean and I always see staff sanatizing.
This daycare is extremely professional and the staff are absolutely amazing people! My kids look forward everyday to attend and I am extremely content with leaving my children at Guild wood Childcare on a daily basis, seeing as the staff members are a very trustworthy and reliable group of people. Especially now during Covid-19, the staff have been doing an amazing job to follow the Covid-19 safety guide lines and ensuring the safety of all children. Amazing daycare, 10/10 would recommend!
My 6 and 4 year old have been attending Guildwood since they were both about 1 and so I have gotten to know the staff quite well. The staff has always exceeded my expectations but I have been even more blown away by their care and health and safety measures during the pandemic. It has been such a scary time for everyone but I leave my kids every morning with peace of mind knowing they are in great hands. I was a little surprised (shocked actually) to see some of the negative reviews (especially about children coming home with bruises and scratches). After 6 years I have never had any such issues. My kids are super active and adventurous and even under my own care and supervision they have new scratches everyday! Just part of being a kid. I won’t hesitate to send my now 2 month old next year!
Thank you to all the staff at Guildwood.

The Guildwood Childcare Centre is absolutely one of the most credible, reliable, & professional environment to be apart that can easily be seen through the dedication of the staff members & the essential care/safety of each and every child at our center. I would highly recommend this childcare center to anyone looking for childcare for their children or looking to build on their experience working in childcare. (9/10)!!
Leaving your children with someone while you work is never an easy decision, but Afia and Mariam at Epicville made the transition as seamless as possible for my child and I! I really appreciated that communication was easy and comfortable, as I was able to discuss any concerns freely with no judgement. I was also given updates throughout the day that helped ease my mom heart :)! Also, Afia’s background in ECE is definitely an asset as seen in her many enrichment activities and the well-structured day- my child really enjoyed their time there! Afia has a wealth of knowledge that she happily shares which definitely made things like potty training easier for me! I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Epicville, and I intend to send my second child there as well despite living quite far now. They are just that good!
This daycare center welcomes my 2 kids with genuine love and care. I was hesitant to leave my youngest son because it was his first time away from me but Afia made it so easy for both us. My kids instantly felt at ease and comfort. Thus, they absolutely love the homey feels of the facility. I can’t thank enough to both Mariam and Afia for being so kind and understanding. This is indeed a very good place for a daycare! Thank you Epicville! 👌
We had a great experience at Epicville! There are a lot of toys and activities, plus outdoor play time every day, which we loved! Afia teaches the children how to do small tasks independently, and gives tips to parents on how to continue this at home. She is also great at monitoring the kids’ habits and behaviours, and teaching how to correct unhelpful habits. There is good communication with parents, and picture updates of their activities. Overall, we had a great experience at Epicville and would definitely recommend it!
Love this school I used to go and everyone is friendly and the teachers are perfect
We were fortunate enough to find Markham Montessori when we moved to Markham. Our child graduated from the school after being given a strong foundation which will last them a lifetime. If you are truly interested in gaining exposure to the Montessori pedagogy, this school should be at the top of your list. Ms. Connie takes great pleasure and pride in setting her students up for success, each of them is taught to hone their capabilities. MMS students do amazing things because they are made to believe it's simply in them to do so.
use to go to school here very nice everyone is freindly
As a first time mom, it is always hard to leave your baby in daycare, but i have to say my daughter had such an easy transition. My husband and I are really happy that we found this daycare, the three teaches are amazing, they are very good with all kids. My daughter loves the food, snacks and she even naps 2.5 hours. Sometimes my LO wants to have more food and they always feed her extra if she wants. we will recommend this place. Thank you all about kids staff.
The staff in the toddler room are amazing! They are so caring and attentive! Always giving us updates on our son and his day. My son is very happy here. They prepare fresh and healthy meals onsite which is a bonus. Highly recommend Chapel Daycare
Little Steps is a really special place. The teachers care about the kids and kids learn to be kind and independent. They have a broad learning curriculum where they learn to read and write, they learn about nature and different cultures.
I have 2 kids who go to Little Steps. My 2 year old can recognize his letters and numbers. He sings the alphabet and can count to 10. My 4 year old can write and knows some French.
I strongly recommend Little Steps if you're looking for a caring environment for your kids and want them to have a leg up in kindergarten.

I like the small class size. I'm sending both of my children to Markham Montessori School and would recommend it to my friends and family.
A gem in the heart of Markham! We visited several Montessori schools in the area and MMS was the best by far. Authentic Montessori with results that show. Thank you Connie!
We interviewed and toured a lot of daycares before ultimately deciding to go with the McGivney Early Learning Centre. My husband and I knew almost immediately that we liked the centre's philosophy and goals. The staff are warm, friendly, and compassionate. We are happy with the care our son has and continues to receive. The staff were very receptive to an individualized care plan for my son when it came to potty training - they asked for my feedback and were willing to implement my requests. Our son loves being there, which is a true testament to the incredible work the staff are doing. The facility is clean and I have never entered thinking there was an offensive smell (like so many of the other centres that we toured). We absolutely recommend this centre.
The director has done very little throughout the years of being at this daycare.
I have visited this place by an appointment when I tried to look for a daycare for my daughter and I ended up choosing somewhere else.
This place, specially the nap room, has a strong mold smell. Having lots of toys in the back of the closets without a proper cleaning, is probably the reason why it smelled so bad.
The entire daycare area needs to be investigated by health and safety professionals for the sake of our kids and I am not exaggerating one bit.

Horrible place! I called to see about taking my 19 month old daughter here. When I mentioned she has Down Syndrome, the lady "Jackie" on the phone hesitated and said "um, I'm sorry but we don't have experience with that" and hung up the phone. I find that extremely rude, ignorant and unprofessional! If that's the type of mentality and attitude they allow their employees to have, then I don't see why anybody want to leave their kids there. Very disappointing.
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
I called this "business" and the owner, named Jackie started immediately acting like a used car saleswoman on drugs. After asking a few typical questions, she became very offended and impatient. She seemed very uneducated and "off" (you parents know what I mean... just a bad feeling you get), and she made it seem like she was doing me some great favor by talking t me on the phone.

Great school but the bathrooms smell terrible.
Had a hard time finding a proper daycare. I'm happy that our little one is here. Low turn over rate, and the monthly fees are reasonably lower than others as well!!
Sending my daughter to Epicville daycare was the best choice I could of made. It's very hard to choose someone to entrust your young child too when returning to work, but I truly felt comfortable with Afia and Mariam watching over my little one. They are amazing at making sure your child is comfortable,happy and learning new things daily. They are caring and patient and take great pride in helping children flourish and grow. I truly appreciate the amazing job they have done taking care of my daughter and would recommend Epicville as a wonderful home daycare.

Both of my kids goes to All about kids. 3 yrs old and 16 months old. Teachers are super nice and friendly. Kids enjoy going to daycare everyday. Especially my daughter has learning delay, and can be difficult at times to comfort/follow directions. Yet the teachers always go the extra length to make her feel loved. Outside family, they are her favorite people. Thank you!
My 8 years old daughter is going to different child care centres ever since however Epicville Childcare Centre is the best so far. My daughter has more stories from Epicville than school each evening as she gets to try different activities including craft, baking, colouring etc etc... Both Afia and Mariam are so accommodating and in time of need they make arrangements basis our comforts. Thank you so much Epicville. You are the best!!
The childspace team is absolutely amazing. Experienced professionals who always give 100%. Would recommend this centre to anyone
Great staff and teachers. Today's was a snow day bus got delayed the school staff and teacher stay to make sure every student make home safe. They are very patient while still keeping a smile on their face. Snow day just gotten warmer.
I registered my son in one of the summer Multi Sport Day Camps, one week for $365, included lunch. The program guide indicated skating as one of the activities, no mention that you have to own your own skates. I thought this was a great camp, he would get to try a variety of activities in a safe environment. The Friday before the start of the camp, I receive a standard email from the camp instructor, guess what, turns out if you don't own skates, you cannot skate and would have to do another activity. Okay, I wasn't happy but I figured the kids would get to swim, since they have a pool but no, the alternate activity was coloring, 2 hours sitting in a cold rink colouring! I sent an an email with my concerns, no response or acknowledgement.
I was not impressed, and I won't be registering at NSWC again, no follow up to my email, and my son didn't have a great time. It's not worth the $$$, and the program guide is misleading. There are better choices and options available on the North Shore.
****Thank you Kim Hirji for the immediate follow up and call with regards to this posting. I appreciated your explanation and that you plan to make your brochure clearer moving forward. Your call made all the difference and we will indeed try NSWC again for further camps**** Thanks!

A big place just one time for birthday party. I cant say alot comments here. Il put a pic
best montessori school in Markham. we tried couple of places before we put our daughter. I would say education at best here.
The All About Kids staff are like a second family. Very caring and pro-active about engaging the kids - whether a learning activity or free play. My son attended the Markham location in Cornell a couple days a week to help him socialize before attending kindergarten. It was a very convenient location and also great for making local friends for both kids and moms!
