My daughter was in daycare at this location for four months from Sep 08 to Jan 09...wait, that's…read morefive months. I was a bit skeptical about sticking my one year old in a daycare for a couple of days a week, but for various reasons we decided to try it out. The location was chosen in part because my wife's place of work had an agreement with them, and also because the location was very close to both our offices. The reason that I gave Kids & Company - Wellington such a high rating was for two reasons. The first is that the level of care my daughter got was second to none. The staff were amazing with Bella and really showed her the love and attention she needed. The second reason was that the entire place was wired with cameras so that I could watch my kid all day online. Because I was able to see first hand that the level of care was excellent, I was able to get more comfortable with the idea of her being in daycare. I would have given them a five star rating but it was friggin expensive and my daughter was constantly sick for the four...I mean five months that she went there (apparently this is true with all daycares, not just this one).

Exercising their bodies was was at the forefront of everything they did from bike riding everyday to specialized gym programming in addition to the academically rigorous yet fun curriculum.

My son transitioned from another wonderful Montessori school to this one for his elementary years…read more He has adapted quite well and loves it here. They have weekly outings to programs like the High Park Nature Centre, rock climbing, martial arts, etc. They will also have the opportunity to go on a camping trip at the end of the year and be part of the Model UN in New York. The teachers are caring and engaged and encourage a collaborate environment with gentle conflict resolution. They also have a lovely nature-inspired playground. We recommend!

After having my kids enrolled here for over 4 years, I seriously cannot say enough good things…read moreabout this school and the teachers. My daughter started attending when she was 2 (now 6) and my son began as a toddler at 18 months (now 4.5). The curriculum is expansive, including typical montessori activities/practical life skills (like washing dishes, tying shoelaces, folding clothing, polishing, potty training) but also very advanced academically. Through their guidance my daughter is reading at a grade 4 level and doing math at a grade 3 level as she enters grade 1. My son who is predisposed musically, can sing various beautiful songs in different languages, and has learned to write letters and read phonetically (entering JK). Most importantly, they absolutely Love going to school every day - they have been happy and felt safe there. We have had a few different teachers over the years as we progressed through stages, as well as a few constant (Ms. Eva - we love you!) and they have all been knowledgable, capable and exceptionally kind. They and the staff were always accessible and flexible when needed. And anytime I have gone to the school I witness kids who are happy, having fun and thoroughly engaged in their learning. The facilities themselves are located in the downtown core in an office-type building that initially seemed unusual for a school or daycare - but inside it is truly the sweetest little setup and the classrooms are clean, organized, well appointed and clearly taken care of. The outside area is small, but well utilized, and they also have an indoor playground which is useful for the winter months and bad weather. They've done a really great job with space in the downtown core, and you can really feel the sense of love and commitment to the kids there. Additionally - they include lunches served by ReakFoodForRealKids daily as well as snacks which offers incredible, healthy and diverse food. My kids, who can at times be picky at home, literally rave about the food - and they love that there are always healthy snacks available. Through BBMS we have additionally met a wonderful community of downtown families whose kids regularly meet and play outside of school hours. Our kids have fostered lasting and meaningful connections which continue to be a light in both our kid's and our lives. Every other parent I have ever talked to who actually attended Bluebutterfly also raves about their experience - and many have enrolled siblings after their first. Blue Butterfuly have truly been a rock for us through such integral phases of our children's lives, and in addition, during the pandemic - our family will forever be grateful to the staff and teachers here.

Initially I was a little hesitant about the lack of 'real' outdoor playground feel but that has not mattered at all ..... There is a large play area that my son loves and most importantly we love the flexibility and friendly atmosphere which is important for parents juggling a job and school runs .. BBMS gets a thumbs up from us :)

I found that with Kids & Company, a partner that helps me educate my child in his early years with great activities and programs, provides amazing food, hosts family events and most of all has a wonderful and caring staff.

They truly care and go above and beyond. There seem to be a few people dragging down the centre's rating based on their own misunderstanding of the centre's deposit policies, which are very clearly spelled out and explained (and similar to other centre's policies). Don't let that fool you - this is an excellent child care centre that I fully recommend.

No matter what they tell you, there are other daycares that will happily help you. Do your research and don't allow this company to pressure you into making a decision on the spot. I lost a $1000 deposit as they took advantage of me being a new parent and not knowing or understanding this system. I am sharing my experience so as to help other parents from being taken advantage of the way I have been.

My child attended SK here. The teachers are very knowledgeable. Debbie (SK teacher and assistant…read moreadministrator) has been a teacher for more than 25 years! They follow a curriculum that really prepares them for grade 1 extremely well. Everyday, they monitor the child's progress against the curriculum. They even give a "report card" at the end of the year. The hours are 8:00am to 5:45pm. Morning snacks, lunch, and afternoon snacks are provided. They go out to the Nathan Phillips Square playground in the early morning and late afternoon each day. In the event of rain and bad weather, they use the City Hall gym. For JK and SK, they hold special special interest classes in music, French, and dance. In the winter, they have ice skating in the Nathan Phillips Square rink. In the summer, they have "picnics". Once a year, they have a picnic on Center Island for the entire daycare. They teach the children responsibility and friendly play. If your child has an accident, they write up an incident report. There was a shooting near City Hall once. I happened to be there to witness their emergency protocol (move all children into 2 internal rooms without windows) and keep them occupied. They will call up and email parents to explain what happened.

Galina (the owner) is the nicest person ever and she LOVES kids. Mine included. Our boy is so happy every day he literally runs to the daycare.

But since the owner decided to come out literally screaming at us on the street because our dog went to the bathroom *beside* her daycare (even though as responsible dog owners we obviously had already picked it up) we would never even consider walking into this place if that's how she treats her neighbours. I'd like to see how she treats all of those other folks who DON'T clean up after their animals. I'm sure she's ever so gentle with children too. Right. Lady, get a clue. You work in a neighbourhood with more dogs than children. Save your screaming rants for those who aren't respecting the neighbourhood. Thanks for saving us the hassle of never dealing with you and your terrible temperament. I will be happy to let all of my pregnant friends in the area to stay away as well.
