Childcare provider: Jen
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"I sent my child to Jen last year when she ran a day care in Stoney Creek called Mommy Day Care. I really appreciated the care Jen provided my child. Jen provided a variety of health meals and snacks; learning and activity time; crafts and story time. I really liked how everyone, depending on the weather, got to go to a nearby park on a regular basis. I didn’t mind those occasional times when I had to pick up my child from the park because I gave me an excuse to join in and play at the park too; I miss that. Jen was always professional and you could tell she cared at the same time. Her day care always felt homey. The only reason I stopped going to her day care was because we decided to send our child to a day care that recently started offering an infant program literally around the corner from our house. I would recommend Jen in a heartbeat."

"Dear parents
2 years and 10 months ago, my wife and I became first time parents. With all the other stress of being a new parent, we knew that eventually my wife would have to go back to work. For months on end, we searched and interviewed over 15 different day cares in our area. But every time we where disappointed with one thing or another. One day I came home from work and my wife with great enthusiasm said to me "I finally found someone kind enough and dedicated enough that we could trust to take care of our precious baby!!"... She went on to tell me that she was at the park and noticed a day care provider who treated all the kids as if they where each her own. With great relief, we set up an interview immediately to see what kind of environment our little one would be in. This is where we met the second mom to our little man, Jen. Immediately we all connected and saw the structure she had within the day care. Its everything we had ever hoped for and more. Jen provided us with a daily detailed report of what went on our sons day. She helped with his eating habits and helped with a sleeping pattern my son finally got accustomed to. He would come home with crafts that we especially appreciated and let us know that he wasn't sitting in front of a TV all day. Knowing we could be able to leave our child with someone we barely knew and feel completely comfortable was the best feeling in the world.
Fast forward to our new addition, another baby boy, once again there was no question that Jen was the best choice to take care of our two boys. My oldest son was so excited to be able to back to his friends and too see Jen that he couldn't stop talking about it a week before arriving back to daycare lol. My second son also quickly got accustomed to the loving care Jen provided.
Unfortunately soon after starting up we got the saddest news, Jen needed to close the day care. As heart breaking as it was, we understood the situation.
I truly believe that it is very rare for a parent to be able to drop off their child at a day care and the child runs into it without looking back because they have so much fun there. This is the type of environment Jen provides.
Jen is by far, the best care provider anyone could ever ask for. She is genuine and kind to parents and kids.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories and care you gave our family! We wish you nothing but success in your new day care.
Sincerely and with love
The Castillo Family"

"My children attended Mommy Daycare for 5 and 4 years respectively. From the beginning Jen was warm and inviting and my children would run in the door excited for the day to begin. A variety of field trips, a solid curriculum and outdoor play everyday helped them grow and learn. It was a sad day when my kids were old enough to go to school and we no longer required her services. Highly recommended."

"Jen cared for my daughter for almost 2 years (she started just after her first birthday). I knew right away that she was the perfect fit for us. My daughter loved her from the start, and she was always treated with kindness and respect. I never had any doubts that she was in good hands.
Jen always ensured that each individual child received special care - she welcomed my cloth diapers and accommodated our vegetarian diet, she helped my daughter through potty training, not to mention all the hugs and cuddles I knew my daughter was getting. She always goes above and beyond to plan activities for the kids - going to the park, planning field trips, fun activities, etc.
She truly will be missed!"

"Jen has been our daycare provider for the past five years, my children absolutely love going to daycare and love Jen! I always know my children and in great hands when they are at daycare. There are always fun and educational activities for the children to engage in, lots of arts and crafts, outdoor play, field trip days, healthy home cooked meals and snacks, and an overall enriching and loving environment. It is extremely obvious the Jen loves the children she cares for and recognizes their uniqueness and helps them to reach their full potential! Jen also maintains great communication with parents, which is something I have really appreciated over the years!
I am definitely sad that they are moving and my children and unable to continue, it has been a great five years, and I feel lucky to have had this daycare and Jen be a part of my children's lives!
I would absolutely recommend this daycare to anybody seeking childcare, when my first child started she was under a year old and I was a nervous wreck about leaving her. We immediately felt comfortable with Jen and she helped to make the transition as easy as possible on all of us!"

"I was so lucky finding this daycare for my 2 children! When searching for daycares in my area when my first daughter was one, I went to 3 other daycares for interviews - not feeling great about leaving my baby with them, I finally found Mommy's Playhouse. As soon as I met Jen (the owner), I knew it was the perfect spot for my little girl!
I currently have my 17 month old here and 5 year old attends afterschool and PA days.
Jen treats my girls like her own, she is loving, caring, understanding and they love her. My 17 month old daughter gets excited just driving up to her house and jumps out of my arms easily to go and play when she gets there. No tears or hesitation at all. Which is a great feeling as a mother.
My 5 year old daughter always says she wishes she could go to daycare instead of school, because it is much more fun!!!!
Unfortunately with this daycare moving to Ancaster - we are unable to continue as we are located in lower stoney creek - and finding a new daycare that I trust as much as her and her workers is going to be really hard to do - My girls are really going to miss her, as will I, it has been the best 5 years for my family.
I highly recommend this daycare and wish I was able to stay here until my youngest was in school!!!!"

"Our son started at this daycare at 17 months, and our daughter joined at 5 months. They have both greatly enjoyed their daycare experience over the years and now that they are both in school full-time, they miss their daycare friends and daycare providers! The daycare has provided them with a great learning experience prior to entering school, they have taken may field trips with their daycare class over the years such as African Lion Safari and Green Mountain Farms among others. They have always been busy with crafts and outdoor playtime throughout their days which are packed with activities. Both kids ask to go back to visit daycare on PA days as they do still love it there! We would definitely recommend this daycare to other parents."

"I couldn't be happier! Trust me moms and dads, you would be lucky to have Mommy's Playhouse be a part of your child's daily life.
Jen, the owner, shows unbelievable care for her daycare children. She makes sure they get their naps, eat healthy and have lots of time to play and create fun crafts. When my 17 month old daughter walks in the door she runs off and hardly worries about where I'm heading off to. When Jen had a Christmas party I was able to watch my daughter interact and play throughout the daycare centre and what I saw surprised me. She acted like she was at home and went straight to her favourite chair for snack time, knew exactly where her favourite toys were stored and acted like Jen was part of the family. My daughter loves it there and that makes me love it too."

"My son has been going to Mommy Daycare for the last year and a half. Jen (the owner) is fantastic and so is her team. I feel they all have the same parenting values as I do. It is not just a daycare but it is a little family. I was very worried about my son going to daycare as he is my first and only child, the thought of someone else watching him made my stomach turn and the more interviews we went to the worse the feeling got... but from the moment my husband and I met Jen we knew she was the one. I love the fact the children play outside so much, but the fun and learning doesn’t stop there, indoor time consists of amazing crafts, games and even sign language. The smiles and stories that come home on my little boy‘s face proves to me we made the right choice with daycare provider!"

"I have recently started using this daycare for my daughter and am fully satisfied with it. The staff is very friendly and co-operative. Daily menu is also balanced. The thing I like most about this daycare is they take children out for play daily (sometime in near by park). So kids get involved in healthy activities and get lots of vitamin D (unlike other day cares where only indoor play in their dens is allowed). The only thing I wanted more is if they have more food options for vegetarians or if they could serve halal food. I would highly recommend this daycare"
