My son, Kevin, attended Sixteen Avenue Daycare for a short period. We were really impressed by the teachers and ECEs. They are patient, kind and understanding. They communicated well with us, and always had the best interest of the child in mind. You can really tell the teachers care so much about the children. I would highly recommend any parent to have their children in their care, as you will be reassured your child will be in good hands.

This daycare should be shut down. My child got a runny nose on the first day he attended, and it persisted for two weeks. The classroom is poorly managed, with children frequently crying in both the toddler and preschool groups. Moreover, it's disconcerting that they don't let children using their water bottles but instead provide paper cups.
One day, while picking up my child, I witnessed another child climbing onto a table and jumping off, resulting in a head injury. The teacher observed the entire process but did not intervene to prevent harm to the child. Since then, I have serious concerns about this daycare and am considering switching to a different one. Unfortunately, my child didn't wait for my decision, and he sustained an injury at this daycare before I could take action. I withdrew him immediately after that. If you care about your kids, please carefully consider sending them to this place.

My daughter has been in the toddler program for almost a year now. I’m throughly impressed with the amount of patience, kindness, and love the teachers have for the kids. She picks up these acts of kindness, telling her older brother “(you) have to share” and “have to be patient”. We can see how excited she feels about her nature walks, that she has seen squirrels, birds, and even an owl one time. Her brother attended another daycare years ago, so I have something to compare to. I must say, the quality of the teachers here are exceptional. Thank you for helping my daughter grow into a better little person!
My wife and I had started to look for a daycare right when our first daughter was around 1 years old. While this was early we didn’t want to rush into anything and wanted to ensure adequate time with finding a daycare that fit our current needs that would also be able to grow along with us as a family. After talking through various online groups including Facebook, asking friends and family, visiting multiple centers we came up with a short list of preferred daycares and Sixteenth Avenue Child Care Centre was top of our list.
From first contact Nasira would always answer my questions through email or phone within very reasonable time frames always making us feel like we were her top priority for the day despite her very full schedule. We had LOTS of questions since we were the first in both my wife and myself family to have kids and therefore only had friends to lean on. Since our daughter was born during COVID she was mostly with us with very little interaction with others and thus was a bit “anti social”. Nasira was the only day care center that suggested that we perhaps start off our daughter part time (maybe starting with 2 days a week, then building up to more days in a week) to ensure that she had a smooth transition socially. This pretty much sold us as every other day care we spoke to insisted that they could not “guarantee a spot” for our daughter if we started off part time. Prior to starting we were provided an exhaustive list of items to prepare our daughter and all communications have been timely and helpful.
Our daughter successfully transitioned to full time day care for a full 6 months now. Through fevers, minor bumps and bruises, a skin issue, weight issues and sleeping issues to name a few Nasira and her team including Ms. Maideh, Ms. Aahkter and Ms. Bimalka have been with us every step of the way. Helping to administer medication, giving us regular updates via telephone or email as needed or just chatting with us at pick up time they have always consistently done things with a smile on their face and more then willing to lend a listening ear.
In todays digital age there is a new app every day that helps to take pictures, videos and chat with and we really love the fact that Sixteenth Avenue Child Care Centre allows our little one to “unplug” and be away from these things and enjoy her outdoor time. We found our daughter compared to others seems to have better hand eye coordination, is able to handle running on uneven surfaces well and generally does not need to have an iPad in front of her for every meal. In fact our daughter doesn’t even care for our cell phones, computers, tablets or TV’s currently! Though she has the rest of her life to deal with these things.
Everyday we hear about how our daughter went out on a nature walk, would have indoor or outdoor water play, be painting, learning about primary colors or sitting and participating in sing alongs.
If you read this far I will have to admit that I can go on and on all day about the positive merits that Sixteenth Avenue Child Care Centre has imparted on our daughter so will I will stop on this final thought - Sixteenth Avenue Child Care Centre has been more then a service provider and has been in fact a partner as our little family grows. I have the utmost confidence that moving forward Sixteenth Avenue Child Care Centre will continue to be able to provide ever more opportunities to foster my daughters physical and mental growth.

I've had the pleasure of knowing the staff at Sixteenth for many years, and I can say without a doubt that their caring & nurturing personalities are a big reason for this Childcare Centres excellent service. Ms. Nasira is an exceptional supervisor, and her kind personality shines through the children and staff at this Centre. Keep up the great work!
My kids are going to 16th for over an year now and I have experienced the toddler program, preschool program and the after school program during that period. Nasira is a great supervisor and takes personal interest in the kids which is evident because my kids know her by name and really like her.
The ECEs are all well qualified, caring ladies who makes sure we know about our child’s day. I really liked how the educators at the preschool program made sure the kids had a lot of outdoor adventures. I live closeby and worked from home so I could hear the kids on their nature walks almost every day during the summer.
I am very happy with the care and attention they give the kids and I see how gladly my kids go to daycare. They absolutely love their educators and enjoy ‘school’ ❤️

My son went here from age 2 to almost 4 till kindergarten started. He attended both the toddler and pre-school programs. I am most grateful to the wonderful staff at the daycare. As a first time parent, I felt assured by the experienced teachers and how they handled my son, how much they cared and how patient they were. I loved their outdoor emphasis. The classroom programs are wonderful as well with field trips and crafts and songs. My son enjoyed and would often imitate and describe at home. He has made some good friends too! The teachers always provided any details we asked for as parents. Their support was incredible! This is a great place to grow up !
Everything you read is true. They are the friendliest, most caring and extremely professional teachers, coordinator and ECEs. EVERYONE here is very happy and welcoming. They cater good food and snacks which keeps my little monster full even when he comes home. Their nature walks is the cutest. My son barely looks back to say goodbye to us when we drop him off in the mornings. He absolutely loves it. We are really pleased and happy we found a place our little guy finds comfortable and enjoys. A++++ for day care. I cannot say enough about everyone here, I hope it never changes.
