Open Arms Preschool has felt like home for the past 2 and a half years. My daughter started going there when she was 18 months old and she's been cared for by loving and patient teachers. The facility is clean and organized, and did such a good job maintaining the safety protocol during COVID. The webcam and apps were great communication tools to receive updates and see what the kids are up to. I am so grateful to have found such a warm and caring environment for my daughter!Read more

As a former ECE teacher myself I went to several Day Care Centers, including various Academies, when selecting where to send my son at 2.5 yrs; Jelly Bean was the only place my son & I felt comfortable with right from the beginning. The staff & teachers are all wonderful. They provide a loving & caring environment for the children. My son has grown so much over the past few months & I know a huge part of it has to do with the dedication of the team at Jelly Bean. Wish we signed up earlier!Read more
Thanks to the Sanazy’s preschool and Preschool Staff for a job well done with providing care for my son Shawn. I appreciate all of the support and service they offer to the families.
My 2.5 years old daughter had pretty hard time at the beginning because of separation anxiety and the care givers were so patient and supportive during the transition.
She loves daycare now and built up very healthy, strong relationship with us, caregivers and the other kids. They provide healthy food/snacks freshlyRead more

The best daycare in Richmond hill! I have been with this daycare since 2007 all my 4 kids had started at this daycare from the pre-school class; until kindergarten. They follow the Reggio method of teaching to the JK & SK students. It's always been an easy progress for my kids to Grade 1 as they knew more than most of the other kids in class. Currently my youngest is doing great at JK when I compare him with kids going to the school. The staff is very polite and nurturing, always accommodating to parents requests. An onsite Chef to prepare Hot healthy lunches provided with two snacks, beautiful ambience and colourful setting for the little creative minds with lots of pictures to keep the little troopers on their toes:) last but not least the Owner - Orit Gal is an amazing person inside out and her love for children has led her business grow so successful- Keep up the good work!Read more

I love this childcare centre. I would call in to checkup on my son when he first started going there and they've always answered all questions and updated me about how he is making out. They also use the HiMama app and put photos and updates on a daily basis which is so awesome especially considering with the new covid restrictions not being able to enter in the centre and get those updates in person. They've been extremely helpful and supportive with my son's potty training as well. Read more

This is an amazing nursery school. In the 6 months my daughter has been enrolled her motor skills, speech, creativity and independence have developed rapidly. After only a couple of months she went from not being able to put a puzzle together to being able do a 36pc puzzle with no help. The school cares about the children and helping them succeed. The teachers are amazing and the children love being there. This school is a great way to prepare your child for kindergarten especially since it will be full days soon. I highly recommend this school.Read more

Four steps to finding childcare services in Markham ON
The confirmation is in: the stork will be flying overhead in a few months. Quick! It’s time to get looking for childcare services. That’s no joke; your return to work will come fast enough, and daycare waiting lists are long in Markham ON.
Step one: Listen Word of mouth is always a good starting point. If you have friends who already have children in childcare services, ask them how they found their babysitter or daycare centre. Get several points of view so you can make a list of all the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of child care provider.
Step two: Browse the Internet and newspapers A search on your provincial government’s family services website may turn up a list of regulated childcare services in Markham ON. You can also find information on their website about financial assistance for child care. Whether regulated or not, home daycares sometimes advertise in newspapers or on community websites providing information on available space.
Step three: Visit See if it’s possible to visit the daycares or home child care facilities you’re considering. Ask lots of questions and gather information about their policies on the following things:
Staff training
Emergency care plans
Hygiene and cleanliness
Food and allergies
Hours of operation
Accessibility for children with special needs
Late pick-up policy
Step four: Register Once you’ve made the rounds of the childcare services available in Markham ON, it’s time to pick the ones you like best and put your name on their waiting lists. Depending on the situation in your area, it may be a good idea to put your name on several lists. In the meantime, make the most of your pregnancy to get ready and be sure to enjoy every precious minute at home with your baby.
