There is some great staff still there but many were chased out when they repeated reported abuse…read more Christina was responsible for many allegations. My son ripped out his 2 front teeth at 18m in her care. They didn't do anything to work on his verbal skills. Christina slapped a pen cap from my son's hand. This was reported to family and childrens services on Friday afternoon. I wasn't notified until Tuesday at noon. I punished my son on the weekend for slapping my hands. We thought he was just hitting and being a brat. He was trying to tell us. They claim that she didn't make contact. My son had bruises on hs hands.Christina wasn't fired. She was moved to another room( The infant room) and staff didn't know what happened. The staff that reported her were punished and fired. I got the full report and found out about other abuse she committed she was not only verball abusive with 3 year olds on multiple occasions but picked 2 of them up by their wrists. Do to her not being allowed near my son he was held back in the toddler room. His progress with potty training, education and socilization was stalled for an extra 6 months. i tried desperately to find emergency care to no avail. Melanie continually covered for Christina and made excuses for not moving Hayden up. We are still struggling to fix the damage they have caused.

I am on the fence here when writing this. my child had the experiences with some wonderful teachers…read moreinfants and toddlers with Vanessa and Maria who offer all types of sensory and go that extra mile with the little things.... to My child absolutely loving the teachers in preschool three. natasha and tamara run an outstanding classroom. those two young girls go over and beyond for the children in their care. my child was able to do simple math, spell their name, and problem solve independently(this is just minimal examples) They provide the at most positive space for children to thrive in. I wish those two young ladies nothing but the best in their careers. My child misses you two a lot. now brings me to my concerns.. recently from a parent understanding this location has gone into a spiral of changes. I reached out to the current "centre director" she goes on with a very caring attitude and up-forth go getter at first. but I have seen her personally display a sluggish bitter attitude some example: protocols and certain responses experenced previously. ive seen teachers hussel in emergencies and they have always given child the best care... no doubt. I've had quite a few experiences with this individual due to my child being in the toddler 1 room with her. My child never really grasped a bond with her(which is fine, children don't like everyone). I just hope she is providing a space that nourishes her staff, appreciates them and allows them to grow. As I would hate to see some of the teachers leave there in Case I have another child. (Selfish but really some teachers are great) needless to state: if you think of selecting BP kitchener as your daycare pray and hope you get the teachers listed above as they will have your child's best interest. Be mindful and firm with expectations and certain covid protocols As Often then not at times you can see the opinions take over, the narcissistic tendencys. i have experienced my child being sent home with a runny nose then hearing from parent texts and chats that there child was displaying symptoms and allowed to stay. i Find this super frustrating what makes there child better???? I wish your child a somewhat good experience if placed in the right classes. my husband and I have been with this daycare for a few years and have seen the staff roll overs, the move ups, the changes and the goodbyes to some really kick ass teachers. I hope this find the right hands. sincerely a worried mother and previous family.

I, as a parent, am very satisfied. You can notice how the educators get attached to the children,…read morehow much they care for them and love them. They spend a lot of time learning, playing, reading books to the children; they spend a lot of time outdoors. Everybody is involved in taking care of the kids: director, assistants, educators, cook(s)... everyone. The facility is very clean and full of different educational toys that they rotate or try to replace with other toys - whenever possible. The staff are very culturally-sensitive. Once you get in there for your informational session, you become sure that there is no better place for your child than La Garderie. Kids do not watch TV there, which makes me very happy. There is a large outdoor play area for your child(ren) and they have a gym in cases of extreme weather conditions. You get reports about your child's day on a daily basis. Our child is obviously happy at La Garderie, and my husband and I are more than happy about that!

This is the absolute best preschool that I have ever come across. Two months ago I had to enroll my…read morechild in a different place, for personal reasons that have nothing to do with Cornerstone. My son had become very attached to the educators, especially Ms. Justine, Mr. Andrew, and Ms. Ericah (the supervisor). He was genuinely flourishing under their care, and I was absolutely heartbroken having to take him from somewhere he was truly cared about and looked after. When we left, we were surprised with an amazing collection of pictures of both him and his friends, as well as him and the educators. Again, this was two months ago now, and he is only 2 years old. To this day, he still comes home every day and pulls these albums out to stare at the people who made him feel so safe and happy every day when I couldn't be with him. The connection these educators made with him will never leave his heart, or mine. Ms. Gurdeep, Ms. Tonya, Ms. Jenna, Ms. G, Mr. Andrew, Ms. Justine, Ms. Ericah, and everyone else there, I just want you to know he still misses you all every single day. The care and dedication you put into your centre is easy to see on a day-to-day basis, but when you're still the first faces he wants to see when he gets home after two full months of being gone, you are making everlasting connections and starting these children off to an amazing start in life. Just want a special mention to Ms. Justine and Mr. Andrew, who were his main caregivers and took the time to understand him and make him so happy day after day. You are both amazing people, and you have definitely found your calling in helping children learn and socialize in a warm, friendly, and safe atmosphere. Ms. Ericah, you were his first love there and watching you move from educator to supervisor filled me with joy and sadness. Joy because I knew you would take this place even further that it already was in education and growth for the kids, and sadness because you wouldn't be with him every second of the day anymore But you still made time for him, and we couldn't love you more for being the wonderful, caring person that you are. If you are looking for child care, I suggest this is your first call because not only do the children learn something new every day, they form bonds that can never be replaced.
