Childcare provider: Pam Matthews
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Our son joined New Toronto Daycare at 13 months. This was his second daycare and Pam really helped with his transition. She has a very structured routine that enabled him to nap for two hours like a clock every afternoon. This all happened during Covid times and Pam always ensured protocol was followed by all parents. She is very neat and organized and has a bunch of toys indoor and outdoor for kids to play. We are very grateful to have found NTD."

"Our daughter spent the last year with Pam and her care was wonderful. Pam provides a fun and safe environment for the kids to play and learn. Her home is lovely and the inside and outside spaces allow for a lot of fun, creative, and independent play. Pam also focused on preparing our daughter for school by ensuring that she could get herself dressed and undressed. She provided loving but no-nonsense care and we are so grateful for her. This is a wonderful space for your child to learn and grow!"

"My daughter was two when she started at the New Toronto Daycare. Pam is caring and calm and provided amazing care for her. She created a structured environment and routine that my daughter adapted to quickly and easily. She enjoyed her time at Pam’s very much. Pam was great to work with, always letting us know when she needed supplies, keeping us informed of my daughter’s progress and interactions with the other kids and helping get her settled into all parts of her new routine. Pam took care of us parents too, helping us through our daughter's transition into our care and always making time to listen or share recommendations about challenges we were having with sleep or other things we were experiencing at home. Would highly recommend Pam and the New Toronto Daycare."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"My Daughter was with Pam since she was a year only until she started school a few weeks ago. She had a very happy and structured time with Pam and her family. She has been asking to go and visit, which we will have to do soon. Pam is a caring and down to earth person, who treats the children like family. She provides excellent structure and routine, and lots of great age appropriate activities for the children to do. The children go on lots of outings, to the park, to lamp, and in the community, getting to choose their own fruit for snack from the fruit market was one of my daughters favorites. I would happily recommend Pam to look after your little ones. Mine was very happy and well prepared for school when she left."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Pam has cared for our daughter since she was a year old, during which time I’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences, and absolute peace of mind. She is clean, organized, fair, caring, and helps the kids cultivate functional and social skills. My daughter naps better than ever before, eats better than ever before, and even began using cups and cutlery early – all of which I attribute to Pam’s caring and excellent tutelage.
Pam provides fair warning when we’re running low on diapers, reminds us when we need to send a new outfit because something got soiled (and even does some of the laundry herself – a very rare perk!), and generally does all the things that help our (sometimes hectic!) family life run smoothly. And I love how much time she spends with the kids outside!
I trust Pam completely and would recommend her without hesitation. We feel so fortunate to have found her."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"I looked far and wide for a quality home daycare for my son before returning to work and am so glad that we found and chose Pam. She came highly recommended to me by my neighbor who had previously run her own home daycare and I had the opportunity to spend time with Pam at some of our local early learning drop in centers when I was on mat leave.
My son spent two years with Pam before heading to preschool. Pam’s home has a lovely fenced in backyard with lots of fun toys for sensory play. The indoor playground also has lots to offer with a craft area and lots of educational toys and resources for our young ones to grow, develop and thrive. I consider myself a good cook, but according to my son, Pam was much better than me;). Her daily menu consisted of fresh, healthy, home cooked foods. At pick up, Pam would always give us a run down of their day so we were always well informed.
Pam is highly engaged and cares very much for all the children in her care. If you’re looking for a home daycare that is safe, fun, and communicative, Pam is a great choice :)
Thank you Pam!"

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"My son was with NTD for 1.5 years from 1 yr old to 2.5 when he moved to preschool. I absolutely raved to everyone about Pam's care and how much he learned. When he was 18 months old, he came home reciting his ABCs and knew how to count 20... all this unprompted by us. My daughter will be starting with Pam next year when I go back to work.
My son is well ahead of his peers now in his preschool, and I owe that all to Pam. He arrived at her daycare a bit needy (and scared to be away from us) and left as a very independent and well-adjusted kid.
If I could give a rating of 5, I would."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Pam is wonderful! Everyday (weather dependent) she walks the kids to a drop in centre in the morning, either LAMP or Second Street, where they play (including crafts and circle time) and have a snack, come home for lunch, nap and then snack & play (either inside or outside). Pam is passionate about what she does, she embraces routine and does a wonderful job, all her kids get along great :) I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!"
