Childcare provider: Simone
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"I can't say enough great things about our experience with Simone as our son's caregiver. Simone has taken care of our son for 2 years (from 1yr to 3yrs) and we just recently left only due to moving further away. Otherwise we would have stayed until he started school.
Simone runs a wonderful business in her home, with the kids and parents both in mind. It is apparent right away how much experience she has, and how calm and understanding she is. You can really tell she loves the kids and loves her work.
Simone keeps the kids busy with lots of walks outside, play groups, park visits, trips to cosmic adventure, crafts and art, and helping with manners and lessons. Her home atmosphere is so comforting and fun for the kids, with lots of activities. I know she always tries accommodate all families as much as possible, whether it be special foods, or sleep, or your child's personality. And I always appreciated her expert opinion and feedback on our son. She really supports the parents, as well as your child during those early years.
We highly recommend Simone, and wish we could have stayed forever!"

"My daughter attended Simone’s daycare for 2 years and a half and left recently to start school.
Simone is an amazing caregiver and educator. She is kind, patient and nurturing. She provides children with engaging activities, loving environment and lots of learning opportunities.
They do lots of crafts and outings to parks, playgroups and Cosmic adventures. Simone has a great indoor space and a very nice backyard where the children are often getting lots outdoor time.
My daughter absolutely loved going to Simone’s daycare and our family is grateful to her."

Childcare provider: Simone
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"I cannot say enough good things about Simone. She has taken care of our daughter for the last two years (2-4 years old). Simone provided a safe, warm and educational environment for our daughter. Simone provides a variety of activities for the children which kept my daughter engaged. They often head to the playground or Cosmic Adventures, or spend time in her beautiful backyard garden.
Simone helped my daughter work on her shyness and confidence in a way that was comfortable to my daughter. Simone is understanding, kind and patient and has helped my daughter grown into a confident kid.
I cannot recommend Simone enough. She has been a blessing to our family and we are sad to no longer be part of her daycare (as my daughter is starting school)."

Childcare provider: Simone
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Simone is an incredible person and an incredible caregiver. Our son was with her for a year and we only left because we moved too far away.
I cannot recommend Simone and her daycare enough. I honestly don't know how she does everything she does! She is kind, thoughtful and gentle, she is loving and supportive. She keeps those kids busy!
She always has them doing amazing crafts and gifts for mama and papa. She feeds them delicious and nutritious meals. During the summer she has a wonderful backyard with lots of water play and during the winter she has a wonderful playground in the back with a little track to walk and push toys around. They go for walks, play at the parks and are outside often. When inside, she has a great space for them to play with endless things to do.
Our son still misses Simone (and Dobby). I wish we could have stayed with her longer. I highly recommend Simone and her daycare!"

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Our daughter attended Simone's home daycare from age 1-almost 5 (we kept her out of JK due to COVID considerations), and we had the best experience. Simone somehow just seems to naturally exude warmth while also having expectations that the children follow routines and play kindly with one another. Simone provided home cooked, healthy meals, plenty of daily outdoor play, sensory activities, etc. We especially appreciated all of the special moments Simone created for our daughter during the pandemic when activities were limited - some examples were sports day, camping day, beach day...and our daughter's often requested pj days. Simone really felt like an extension of our family and our daughter will always have great memories from her time spent at Simone's daycare."

"Simone is an excellent care provider! She was so warm and welcoming when my daughter joined her daycare last August at late notice and in the midst of the pandemic. Simone made what was otherwise a very difficult and stressful time so much easier with her flexibility and understanding. She very quickly put my mind at ease and made my daughter feel completely at home. My daughter left only because she started school; on her last day she told me “Simone is like a rainbow because she brightens up my day every day”. I think that says it all :) Anyone would be so lucky to have their child attend Simone’s daycare!!"

Childcare provider: Simone
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Simone is a caring, gentle and kind, but firm care provider. Our son was in her care from 13 months until almost 4 when he went to school. He was always happy and well cared for. The children often walked to playgroups, parks, and even Cosmic Adventures, which was so important for us that he was outside. Simone's main floor of her house is dedicated to her daycare and she truly loves what she does. She provides a safe and clean environment. The children have a routine which we really appreciated. The variety of toys and play the kids experience is amazing. Simone also took time to educate our son teaching him manners, numbers, letters, sounds, colours, shapes etc. We were so fortunate to have found her when we did."
