"Jai récemment utilisé cette garderie. ma fille alors âgée de 9 mois était très timide. elle ne s'ouvrait même pas à ses camarades et n'avait pas des heures de sommeil régulière. grâce à DIDI, aujourd'hui elle est sociable et peut dormir sans pleurer. elle est aussi devenue très autonome.

Merci DIDI"

"We have been with Chez Didi for almost 5 years now. She has a beautiful space for children to learn both indoors and outdoors.
She spends quality time individually and in group settings to create a structured environment for all children to learn and feel safe. The bonus of learning French was a definite plus for us as we felt it was beneficial for our child. Diane ensures all spaces are sanitized and meet the government standard. She will provide quality home cooked meals and snacks throughout the day as well a tutoring services for separate learning paths.
We love Chez Didi and will continue to use her services and share with anyone who needs childcare."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"The task of finding a childcare centre can be daunting, and finding a childcare worker that is caring and attentive to each child’s needs, we thought would be impossible. Thankfully, we found exactly that and more when we were referred to Chez Didi French child care centre. Our little one started at 18 months with Ms. Didi and immediately loved being around Ms. Didi and all the kids in her care. While in Ms. Didi’s care our child began potty training and was able to develop verbal, written and literacy skills all in French, it was tremendous to witness the growth.

Ms. Didi’s has an inherent love for her children at the centre and her dedication to their mental, physical and educational development is unmatched. She has the patience and ability to understand each child’s individual nuances, and truly works with the children and their parents to foster self growth. She is a great teacher and runs a well organized facility.

Organization was imperative while navigating the pandemic. And with the uncertainty that Covid 19 brought, it was reassuring to have Ms. Didi as a daycare provider. From the initial lock down to the first reopening Ms. Didi provided frequent correspondence and procedural updates through messages, letters and videos of changes that would occur for the little ones upon their return. This assisted with decreasing anxiety for the kids and parents alike. We truly are grateful for everything Ms. Didi has done while caring for our child."

"Diane has had our boy for a number of years and done an excellent job with him. He is extremely disciplined and well-behaved and her ability to teach him French has been way better than we expected.
He has definitely shown tremendous improvement in all aspects of his life and his ability to learn.
We are very thankful he had the chance to learn from Diane and we feel he is well prepared for his entrance into public school.
We fully plan for our next child to start with her even earlier when the time comes."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"Like many other families, we had initially utilized "traditional" daycare centres for our children. However, they were no longer able to accommodate our needs and that's when a friend suggested looking into home daycares. My husband and I were a little skeptical at first, but when I met Diane at her place I instantaneously felt at ease. Grand maman cares for the children the way a family member would, maybe even more! When I leave my kids with her, I am 100% confident they are in great hands. When it comes time to learning/arts/crafts, she works with each child based on their capabilities. She encourages independence, self-regulation, and teaches the kids to problem solve situations appropriate for their age level. She also teaches and encourages French, an amazing bonus! The meals she provides are always home-cooked and snacks are nutritious. Furthermore, she is flexible and accommodates my staggered/shifting work hours which has truly helped our family. We are very blessed (and extremely grateful!) to have found grand maman! This place is a gem."

"My husband and I were so incredibly fortunate to have found Diane to take care of our son for the past nearly two years (and counting!).
I had been struggling with the idea of going back to work, but I immediately felt comfortable in her home and knew I was leaving my son in good hands.
At Grand-maman's he learns French, eats nutritious meals and snacks, spends time playing outside and learning about nature, and always seems very happy to be there.
Diane provides a healthy, safe, and educational environment, and my son has really thrived in her care. He is always talking about all the things he does at Grand-maman's or singing a French song, and I can't imagine how difficult it would have been to go through his potty training without her!
Diane cares so much about the children she's essentially helping to raise. It is so much more than a daycare.
I would absolutely recommend!"

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"After being very hesitant to leave my child with anyone, I visited Diane’s home daycare. I was instantly at ease in her home. She made us feel very comfortable and answered all of our questions without hesitation. It was obvious when we entered her home that she had a passion for what she does. Our son stayed and played during our visit and he didn’t want to leave! I knew we had found a true gem! We have been with “Grandmama” ever since (2017) Since Diane open her door and her heart to us we have been very satisfied with the care she provides. I love that she cooks all fresh homemade meals, speaks and teaches French, she is a huge nature lover and she shares that love with the children. She is very open in communication and easy and happy to work together when it comes to addressing any challenges that may arise with your child. She also has a solid set of rules that encourage manners, respect and kindness. What more can you ask for??!!
Diane aka Grandmama has become part of our family and I couldn’t imagine leaving my children with anyone else!"

"It is a tough decision leaving your children with a complete stranger however after meeting grandmama we knew it was the right decision. She truly loves what she does and loves the children. It’s not a typical daycare where you drop your kid off and all they do is play all day. She does activities with them, teaches them and all her meals are cooked from scratch. She helped raise our baby girl and I certainly consider her to be part of our family now. I’m glad we found her."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"What can i say about Diane, Exceptional truly cares about each of the children in her care and treats them like one of her own grandchildren. My son was initially at a public daycare and due to the large volume of children at the centre and the amount of fees which we had to pay made us find alternative options. We were a little apprehensive about using a home daycare and visited Chez Didi immediately are fears disappeared. My son was under Diane's care for close to 1 year and due to moving out of the area sadly we had to change daycares. Diane is very caring and a lovely person and your children will be well taken care of."

"The best by far.
Our second son is under Diane's care since the past 2 years. Diane was also looking after our oldest that I changed from another to be with her. She will eventually, when time comes, look after our third child.
Diane is amazing and the kids love her. She is attentionnated and dedicated. Being French myself, I 100% certified that she is too. My oldest son made an incredible progress in French and Diane also helped a lot with my second child ellocution. Diane also have been a big help and support in finding the cause of skin reaction of my oldest son. She did a lot more in helping him than any other daycare he has been.
She goes above and beyong as a childcare provider.
I highly recommend."

"Love!
Is the word that would describe the care that Diane provides.
Great healthy meals, great programs and activities. A lot of love, patience, and attention to the kids in all aspects. My son never wants to leave her home at the end of the day. Always helpful to parents and very willing to update us with details of how his day went. We live 30 mins away and is our best decision ever."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"My daughter started attending Chez Didi’s in February (2014) and is still presently at Chez Didi. Diane is not your average childcare provider, she goes above and beyond to enhance your child’s social skills in both English and French. The children learn about nature, table manners, songs and most importantly acceptable social skills with each other. Diane is very patient and attentive to each child and refuses to give up when they are experiencing challenges. Brain stimulation is another major asset to sending your child to Chez Didi, there is never a dull moment with arts and crafts, writing, storytelling and pizza making time. It brings joy to my heart when my daughter cries because she has to leave “Didi’s house”, we usually leave an hour after I pick her up and that’s a struggle. I have never picked up my daughter dirty, cranky or sick, she is well taken care of and is very happy. She even eats her veggies and mash potatoes! As you can guess, things she doesn't eat at home.

As a first time mom I was very skeptical about daycares, I have heard the horror stories (dirty, runny noses, sick all the time, cheap meals, etc…). I am so happy that I found Diane, my child is not just a number with a dollar sign. Diane is a true gem, who is honest, loving, funny and brilliant. Your child(ren) will love her and so will you!

Did I mention that Diane had my daughter potty trained in 3 days!"

"I would never go anywhere else, really landed a gem on this one!! My daughter cries everytime I pick her up because she never wants to leave. She has a lot of patience and absolutely loves what she does. She really does put her heart and soul into what she does, thinks her programs through and turns her house into a child's haven. For a french daycare and for what Didi offers, you will not be disappointed. Definitely recommend!"
