This facility is brand new and super clean, simply the best daycare option for us in Calgary! Highly recommend.

We were previously at KidsU, which did a nice job, but I can't say enough good things about the staff and attention the kids get at Little Treasures. We far prefer it here. Whereas the last daycare was almost a bit too structured and lacked visibility and transparency into daily activities (plus, it cost a fortune) at Little Treasures, I could walk into the centre at anytime to see what's happening, and I'm greeted like extended family. The children learn through play, are taught social skills, and are cared for by affectionate staff. It means the world to us. - jasmine

My kids & I are greeted each morning with a genuine welcome and breakfast which is a relief as I'm always rushed to get to work.

My older daughter is always excited to show & tell me about new Montessori activities, and seems to be learning way more than her cousins of same age. Thank you ladies for the wonderful care you provide.

It's a shame about this place. Some of the teachers and support staff here are really caring and…read morework hard to do their jobs, but the management is terrible. Employees rate Brightpath 1.7 out of 5 on Glassdoor.ca. Remember, when you're dropping your kids off, you're leaving them with people who feel "bullied", "overworked", and "underpaid". Run by a company who "would rather you fill out paperwork all day than supervise/interact with children". Our older son is special needs (speech), and as such had a team of workers assigned through the PUF program (Government of Alberta). We last met with them for a progress report on the 4th of March, at which time we came up with some new strategies to address issues he was having in class. The teachers reported back over the coming days that he was doing really well and even asked us to reward him at home for being so good at school! On March 11th the management asked us to come in for a meeting at 3pm - with one day's notice. If we were available at 3pm on a weekday we wouldn't need childcare. We responded that we would need to arrange a time that worked for us, like 5pm, or 8am. The management would not agree to this, and so we had to put off the meeting until I had a morning off, on March 21st. At this meeting they told me they were kicking our son out. So to summarize : March 4th we strategize how to make things better. From March 5th - 10th he does great. On March 11th he's kicked out. This decision was made before March 4th, or the progress from that meeting would have been taken into account. I asked the management team about this, but they just said the decision had already been made, and blamed me for the short notice because I couldn't attend the meetings they had suggested earlier. So the decision was made, prior to March 4th, so why wait until March 11th to tell us? Money. The only reason we weren't told about the decision prior is so that Brightpath could get one more month's tuition out of us for our two kids. Brightpath is only worried about their income (another common sentiment from their employees), not about the well being of the families they work with. Our son will now lose his PUF funding for speech therapy. The management doesn't care. We have only 9 days notice to try and find somewhere to take him because neither of us can take time off work. The management doesn't care. I'm going to report all of this to PUF, Calgary Regional Childcare Licensing, and every social media platform I can think of. We'll see if they care about that.

I just edited this post: I have been wanting to write this review for a while. So I was interested…read morein having my child attend this child care facility but decided to hold off until I felt confident in leaving my child in their care. So I live close to a local park where "Kido Care" staff take the children to play. I, as well, take my child to the same local park and thought this is a perfect opportunity to see how the staff treat the children. So I've been observing the interaction between staff and kids for over a year. And I've come to the conclusion I would never put my child in this facility for the following reasons. 1. Every time I'm at the park which is daily or every other day (during the warmer months), I've observed some of the staff on their cell phones not watching kids, and generally they huddle around this one bench that is circular, chatting to each other versus watching the kids. 2. There about 4 women who I SEE THAT ACTUALLY DO THEIR JOB, a couple of older ladies in their 40's and 2 younger women in their 20's. They will stand at the various monkey bars ensuring kids are being safe and dealing with behaviours. However, I can see them getting overwhelmed because they're not getting the assistance from their coworkers who are chatting to each other. The other day the two older ladies were managing all the children while 4 other staff sat on their butts chatting. Last week I saw 5 Kido Care kids on the merry-go-round, the rough-housing began, four children flew off the merry-go-round, while one child continually turned the merry-go-round. Kids were crying, yelling and screaming , and of course the staff were talking to each other not watching the children. It took two of us parents to notify the staff about the "potential ," of someone getting hurt, however kids were all ready hurt, screaming, yelling, before the staff attended to them. Most of the parents at the park talk about "kiddo care," in a very negative way, and we all have the same complaint about the staff not watching the children at the park. Most of us try to avoid going to the park when Kido care kids and staff are there because we know it will be a zoo. It's usually, us parents that have to talk to the kido care kids/staff about behaviours/sharing rough housing etc. because the staff are too busy talking to each other or on their phones. I have many more examples of kids crying/screaming, getting hurt at the playground with Kido care but these are just a few examples. If I was parent with my child in this facility I would consider taking your child somewhere else because if they're like this in public what are they like taking care of your child when they're actually at Kido care facilities? I gave one star for the 4 ladies that actually do their job. The rest should be let go. My advice to this company is. No cell phone use at the park unless it's an emergency. Each staff member should have a designated area at the playground so they can observe the children playing to deal with behaviours and safety issues. Until they make these changes many parents at the park would not consider your company as a place to have our children. I've also observed parents going to the park to pick up the children and it's funny to watch the behaviour of the staff change when they see a parent coming, the phones mysteriously go away, They stop talking to each other; of course they don't want you to see what they're actually doing. As parents we're trusting childcare providers to "watch," our children not gossip with your co-workers. before you think of putting your child in this facility, just go to the local park and watch the staff for yourself, then you'll see firsthand how some of the staff are using the park as a social gathering for themselves versus watching your children . Go between 1-3pm to 13 ave and 1st SW the park across from Starbucks and see for yourself.

We have been with Kido Care since 2013 when it opened. Both of our children have attended or are…read moreattending Kido Care. The care and thoughtfulness of the teachers has been outstanding. The programming has been wonderful and we have always felt the care they've received to be fantastic. Throughout our 5.5 years at Kido Care, our children have learned so much; they are well prepared for elementary school, are articulate, have made lifelong friends, and love their teachers. We have never had an issue with the care and attention they receive, nor have we had any concerns with supervision at the playground. The children go to the playground to let off steam so they can focus on learning. They will make mistakes, some might be too rough at times, but this is a critical part of growing and learning. There have been positive staffing and management changes in the last few months. While we have always held the program in high regard, the changes are refreshing and I have and will continue to recommend Kido Care to family, friends, and colleagues.

This daycare is great, the teachers are very nice and try to make each kid feel special. They know everyone's names and all the parents' names. Every evening after picking my daughter up, I receive a few photos of her with the day's activities and a full report, which is so nice to get and is very helpful. The curriculum is awesome, my 1 year old is active throughout the day, and they are so creative with activities: from art to music to crafts even at this young age. They also go for a walk or play in their outside yard most days if the weather permits. The food at the daycare is pretty good, but is somewhat grains heavy, includes a lot of bread, pasta, rice etc. Of course, kids like it. I try to balance it out at home by giving more meat and veggies.
