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

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.

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.

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.
