We feel comfortable leaving her and trust that the team will take the best care of her. During the day they follow the same routine but change the activities. They incorporate small group activities that focus on specific areas of development such as fine motor skills, gross motor skills, communication etc. The children are grouped by skill level to ensure activities are appropriate. They also allow for exploratory play in the class and have a variety of toys/items that appeal to the different senses (toys that make different noises, toys that are visually stimulating etc). A hot lunch is served every day and the babies sit in a table with high chair seats. Nap time is after lunch and some how they get the babies to sleep for at least an hour. We definitely recommend Brite Beginnings.

The personal growth and development has been unreal and I am so grateful at how loving the educators are. They are caring and responsive. The admin staff are friendly and helpful. Best part, this is a full service child care facility; with breakfast, snacks & lunch included. Learning through play, crafts and structured actives. The educators are caring and responsive. I cannot express how happy I am that I found Brite Beginnings.

The educators are highly experienced and passionate about early childhood development. The meals provided are wonderful. My son loves it here. Also it is a non profit, so your fees go to the program and not in an owner's pocket.

Here's my caveat, I've served on the board for 5 years. I think that has to tell you something. I…read morebelieve in this centre. Both my kids went here and my wife and I decided that both of them would stay here rather than go to kindergarten in their first year of eligibility. Yes you read that right; we would rather pay for an extra year of daycare at CPCCS than put our kids into free kindergarten. The staff have all been great, the downtown location has been amazing for our LRT lifestyle and for the kids' exposure to an urban environment. I love it that my kids can walk to the funicular for field trip....that's so cool. They also get Zumba, Music and Yoga delivered by professionals on top of the great Regio Emilia programing they receive daily. It's a great daycare I am sure you'll be happy here.

I feel so grateful to have found such an amazing place with wonderful people. I highly recommend this daycare without hesitation.

This was our first child's first daycare experience, so naturally we were nervous and maybe (maybe?) a little over-cautious in our selection process, but the very professional and compassionate staff have demonstrated time and again they've made every effort to ensure a safe, positive experience every day for every child. Very grateful to Tiny Town!

I have had children at this daycare for the last 5 years and love it. The key word being "love"…read more There is a lot of love at this place and I have always felt that they are providing more than the basic necessities for my kids; they also provide them with love and nurturing. We attempted to move my younger child to a different location when our older child aged out of Cambridge ... we only lasted 3 weeks until we moved him back to Cambridge. For us Cambridge is worth every penny and every minute extra that it takes us to do two drop offs. What is also notable about Cambridge is its consistency. They have very little staff turnover. It is mostly the same group of staff as it was 5 years ago when we started there. There is also consistency in the children present. While families do come and go, for the most part both of my kids have had a very consistent group of kids throughout their time at Cambridge, in other words there are a lot of other families who are happy here too!

The hours are excellent. They are open 6-6 unlike many daycares. My two year old loves it there and…read morethe staff are so friendly and good with him. You can tell they love the kids.

I heard about Kids and Company from my boss at the time. We checked them out and I am so glad we…read moredid. We really liked the fact that we could check in on our daughter on their webcams. Which, by doing so we saw some things that gave us cause for concern. We brought them up to the director and she was FANTASTIC. She took our concerns very seriously and acted immediately on them to correct them. She also kept me informed throughout the process. We also brought a concern up to the assistant director about the angle of the camera and how we couldn't see a corner of the classroom very well. She immediately looked at it and corrected it while I was there. Now what we see is fantastic staff engaging with my daughter and the children in her classroom. I used to be worried as a first time mom leaving my daughter in the hands of strangers as I didn't know what level of care she would receive but I do not worry anymore. I know she is in GREAT hands. It shows by the enthusiasm my daughter has when she comes to this place. My daughter used to cling to me and cry when I tried to pass her off to the teacher, because it was a new experience for her, but now she almost jumps out of my arms to go to the teacher, Joy or Claudia when I drop her off! She sometimes even waves goodbye to me, which makes me very happy to see she is comfortable with the ladies there! You can tell all of the staff love the children that go there, that its not just a job to them. The staff know all the childrens names as they pass in the hall, whether they are in the same classroom or not. We are even buying a house in the same area (even though we wanted to go further south) so that we didn't have to find a new daycare. I highly recommend this daycare!!

Having…read morefree 15 minute underground parking for drop off and pick up is great, especially in inclement weather such as during the winter months. It is really conveniently located if you work downtown, and especially so if you work in the building. They have coped very well with the pandemic and have had only a small number of children attending which helps keep the risks down, however they are absolutely excellent with the children. We are very happy that the daily hot lunch means that our child is exposed to a greater variety of menu options than those we would provide ourselves. There is also excellent transit to this location.

I feel like a better parent for sending my toddler, Lily, to this daycare because she gets…read moreexperiences I can't or won't create for her at home; she gets to flex her independence; and she hears respectful language and stories every day. Every day there is a new exploration activity -- for example, picking up pretend bug figures in the sensory table, painting, or looking through prisms outside in the playground. She gets to play with beautiful, open-ended toys with emphasis on natural elements --  whereas at her previous daycare they had mostly big-box-brand plastic toys. You can tell a lot of thought went into selecting the toys -- the soft dolls even have different skin colors represented. There are no screens except for the teachers uploading photos and videos to share with parents via the HiMama app. I call this daycare a lot of nicknames -- "Disneyland", "school" (because it's way more than just day care), and "Lily's World" because she sits at Lily-sized Montessori-style furniture (vs dangling from a kidney bean high-chair table she had at her previous daycare), practices feeding herself, and steps up to the sink to wash her hands. The way the teachers talk to her is respectful -- acknowledging her feelings and helping her work through her moments of frustration. They read her stories and talk to her sweetly. Lily runs to hug them when she arrives at daycare.   The class (the under-2 crowd) actually plays together. I know it's not developmentally expected, but the tots giggle, and share, and hug good bye.  Also, Lily eats better food at daycare than at home since the kids' food is catered by Milk Crate. Vegetarian noodle bowl, Soft pretzel with housemade ranch, Made-from-scratch blueberry muffin?! by sending Lily to this daycare I feel way, way less guilty about her eating air fryer chicken nuggets watching hours of The Wiggles at home. I also don't feel pressure to do the instagram sensory tables, art projects, and play kitchen set ups at home because she does this almost every day at school. To sum it all up, these teachers are doing an amazing job, and they create exceptional value for our daycare dollar. She won't remember these days, but these teachers are shaping her to be kind, confident, and independent, and we are the lucky ones for that. Mom of Lily, 17 months old
