Over the eight years as clients, we have seen little staff turnover (and we still encounter retired staff locally who ask about our boys). Our two oldest were relatively easy kids, but our third child is quite "spirited". Cancare worked with us and the growth in our child has been amazing. All of our kids rave about the "banana loaf" and they all love the playground and teachers. Top all of that off with good managers and bus service provided to local schools - we feel exceptionally lucky to have access to the Cancare Child Centre in the NW.

Incident 1 As he was at the age where he wasn't napping…read more consistently anymore, (4 yrs) the staff was finding it a battle to get him to nap. One day my son came home and informed me that he had been flicked in the face by one of the workers and told "go to sleep you stupid boy." We don't flick faces in our house and I didn't feel like this was something he would make up. I confronted her with my son present and she denied anything. When we left my poor son looked at me and said "she's lying to you mommy". That broke my heart as a mother who just wants quality childcare for my kids. The director Rubina had my child moved from that room to the ecs room where the kids didn't have to nap. To my knowledge there was no consequence to the employee. Incident 2 My child was in the afternoon class so there were only 3 kids in the ecs room during the day. During that time there were no activities with those 3 children. I did however see them do things with the kids when there were more kids present. They were expected to play and get along. My son began to have conflict with one particular child and at times my son became so enraged he began to yell loudly, threaten to throw a chair ( which he never did/would) he would try to leave the room, he would ask to go to the directors office. At 5 children are learning to control their emotions and deal with their peers. I kept being told that parents were complaining about my child. I requested to meet with the parents of this other boy to see what we could do to try to help them get along but the director said they wouldn't do that. The last straw was when some of the other kids in the ecs room told me they were being told "nobody play with "Jacob". Now hes being publicly humiliated, ostracized and bullied. One staff member told me I should pray for my son and another was telling me I should be nicer to my child and another told me I need to talk to him at home. Like I wasn't doing my duty as a mother. A few months after moving him I found video on his Nintendo ds. He was trying to video this boys abuses and threated to tell miss mary. But He never did and now it was too late.HE has since been moved To a daycare and I have had no problems since January 7 months I didn't move my youngest child as IF my older was a problem child I didn't want to uproot the second one as well if this was going to be a pattern. Incident 3 My baby was coning home constantly with diaper rash. It was being cleared up on the weekend then come Monday night it was back Incident 4 My child is allergic to lotion with fragrance as documented in his file. The childcare worker although she cared enough to put lotion on his irritated areas (leg and arms) His file was not minded. As soon as I asked her to stop using it his skin irritation stopped Incident 5 It seems now that every time I go into the daycare I am signing incident reports about my 2 year old. Weather he's having a tantrum. doesnt want to join them for snack, go out to play or any other thing he's being written up. Ive been told his temper is exactly like his brother Incident 6 my son has been 3 for 3 months. When he is home he uses the toilet except for bedtime at daycare he is peeing in his pants so I now had to send him with pull ups. Incident 7 My husband makes the kids lunch and one morning he holds up a pill. A capsule with white powder inside and asks "what's this?' I had no idea as we don't take medicine.I told him I didn't know and he informed me that this was the 3rd one he'd found and he thought it might have been a vitamin or something I was putting in for him. I am so tired of talking about my issues with the daycare staff and I am completely uncomfortable even going in there anymore but I show the pill to the ladies who man his toddler room. They don't recognize it but I just wanted to be aware of what I was finding not only for my child but the safety of others because I don't know what in it. When I took it to the new director Miss Mary. She said she didn't know and that it probably came from my house. I was fuming and came unglued! The director from the other daycare called me and told me that she called licensing herself to report it but I haven't heard anything. I explained that its not my intention to cause trouble I just wanted them to know what was happening and I was mad that there was no parental support.. Incident 6 Surprise surprise another incident report! So I sign it and the lady looks and says " that's not your signature".....um I just signed it in front of you of course it is! Then I pick up my son and his pull up is more full than when he wakes in the morning. It was hanging off of him and it was obvious. I asked " don't you change their diapers?" she said that she wasn't his provider but she was the only one in the room along with another lady. She said he shouldn't be in diapers anyway. I said if you cant take care of children then don't. My kids have been bullied, abused and neglected and I'm done being n

I love a good Paint Nite! What a fun way to hang with your friends and do something other than just…read moredrink and eat. Paint Nite always has tons of different and new art paintings and they have decent distribution around town so you can usually find a painting you like at a pub near you. I have zero artistic talents, but if I can do it then so can you. The instructors are really good about going through the steps with you, keeping you on time, and helping if you encounter problems. It's intimidating to put the first swipe of paint on the pristine canvas, but after you get over that hurdle, it strangely becomes easier and you start to get in the zone and just flow. So if you're afraid to try it because you don't have an artistic bone in your body like me, I say give it a try - you'll be amazed what you can accomplish! And keep reminding yourself that it's just for fun, so you remove the pressure from yourself and just enjoy time with your buddies!

So, I went to my first Paint Nite this weekend for my sister's bachelorette - and a bit…read morereluctantly. I'm no artist and I was pretty sure this was going to be a case of throwing my money away and ending up with something I'd toss in the nearest dumpster. So, you can imagine how thrilled & surprised I am that I have something that I...actually like. It's not fine art, by any means, but it's actually something i won't be ashamed to hang on my apartment walls. The basic premise of Paint Nite is simple - you congregate in a bar, order yourself some bevvies, and proceed to follow along with painting the picture chosen by your Paint Nite instructor for the night, who also supplies all the painting materials. Our painting was a blossom tree in front of a full moon - perfectly pretty and girly for a bachelorette. We arrived, grabbed seats (we should have arrived earlier or asked them to reserve us a block of seats, as we could not all sit together when we arrived about 5 minutes before it started). And then off we started. I immediately thought I was screwing up (apparently, I can not paint a symetrical circle), but the staff was really good at calming my ruffled feathers and giving me ideas for how to ensure it wound up right by the end of the evening. And indeed it did! My moon is a little un-spherical, and my tree isn't very proportonate, but for my first time ever wielding a paintbrush, I'm pretty pleased - and I can definitely see how paint nites would be a regular event for many people! If I have any critiques, it was that there need to be more seats facing the artist, vs. a 50/50 split of facing and away. I know in this regards they're working with the bar's space, but it does make it more difficult to hear & see what's going on (even though the instructor brings the art work around frequently to let you see the next step). The headset microphone the instructor was wearing also needs a bit of work - it was very, very difficult to understand her through it (it either needs servicing or she needs to wear it further from her mouth). All in all though, it was a fun night & a great bonding activity for me to get to know my sister's friends at. I'd definitely be interested in doing another one!
