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

"Jennifer is a truly exceptional daycare provider. It was hard for us to find a daycare provider in our part of the city who ticked all the boxes we were looking for - someone who could provide excellent, competent care for our 1 year old, while also offering the warmth and nurturing a child of this age requires. When we found Jennifer we knew right away that she was the right care provider for our son. Her patience and kindness in the face our our son's serious separation anxiety has been truly heartwarming. She has taken his anxieties in her stride and done everything possible to help him transition to her care. Under Jennifer's care, our son has begun to blossom, and is developing a strong bond with her. She has also been very willing to be flexible and adapt to his needs - whether it be a need for a quick morning nap on days that he is tired, to helping manage a troublesome diaper rash. Her willingness to communicate and adapt to our son's needs have made a difficult return to work for me much more bearable.

In addition to providing a loving and nurturing environment, Jennifer also facilitates learning and develoment through stimulating and educative activities (normally this would include taking the kids around to activities all over the city, but this is not possible due to the pandemic this year). A special mention to the daycare space: Jennifer's pride in her chosen career is evident in the space she has created for the kids - the play area is bright and airy, fantastically arranged to stimulate the imagination and promote play. She also has an enormous backyard with tons of toys, swings etc.

Jennifer is definitely not a care provider who takes the easy route - we have been impressed with the sincerity and hard work evident in all her efforts on behalf of the kids in her care. We feel fortunate to have found a spot at Jennifer's daycare and would recommend her wholeheartedly to parents looking for excellent care for their precious little ones in the city."

"Jennifer is an incredible child care provider, and my husband and I are so grateful to have such a caring, kind and loving person care for our child. Returning to work and leaving my baby in someone else’s care was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, and Jennifer is truly the next best thing to him being cared for by family. Our child LOVES going to Jennifer’s house. Whether they stay home and do crafts, play inside in her amazing newly renovated playroom, play outside in her huge fenced in backyard filled with toys, or go out and attend kindergym or go on a field trip to the farm or museum, etc, he always has a ton of fun every day. We get pictures and updates on how his day is going on a daily basis, which is hugely appreciated, as is Jennifer’s many amazing personal touches including celebrating birthdays, and every holiday with the little ones. We would recommend Jennifer’s childcare services without reservation, and we are so happy that our 9 month old will also be in her care in a few months."

"Jennifer is a wonderful childcare provider who has welcomed my children into her home. Both of them have thrived in her care, enjoying a wider range of activities. They get to spend a lot of time outdoors and playing with other children at play group.

Jennifer is very open in her communications, providing regular updates and info, so that I can feel in touch with my children throughout the week.

She's also been very adaptive to the needs of the children in her care.

I'm happy to have found a daycare provider that my children could bond with so easily."

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

"Our daughter started at Jennifer`s daycare at the age of 1. Leaving your 1 year old baby is probably one of the hardest things to do for a parent but leaving her with Jennifer has made it way easier for us, since she loves her so much and always did since day one. Jennifer is always at the door greeting us with a smile and a nice hello. The way our daughter is always in a hurry to go play downstairs or go to the crafts table, we know she is happy and in a good place.
With Jennifer, our 18 month old daughter has been cooking, baking, doing craft on a daily basis and started to be potty trained. Jennifer has the patience of an angel!
A big issue for us is the daycare availability. The few sick days and/or days off Jennifer took during the year; we knew ahead of time and we’re able to accommodate with her alternate daycare provider that Jennifer and the kids visit quite often. The first time I left my daughter with the alternate, I knew she was familiar with her and the kids, as she left my arms to go see them with no hesitation.
We definitely recommend Jennifer in a heartbeat and it will be a very difficult time for us when we leave her in June."

"Our daughter has attended Jennifer’s Daycare from February 2012 to July 2014. Having her attend daycare was a difficult decision for me as I returned to work. To leave my precious wee one with someone other than myself or husband, I felt, would be an impossibility. However, the decision to place our daughter with Jennifer was one that we have been thankful for ever since.

Jennifer provides a caring and safe environment for all the children in her home. The daily routine is organized with scheduled activities, crafts, play groups, outings and an excellent balance of indoor and outside time. She prepares home-cooked, nutritious meals and snacks for the children daily. Jennifer runs her daycare in the most professional manner. In the past 2 years, she has always given notice for vacations, time off, or appointments weeks to months in advance.

Providing daycare to young children is truly Jennifer’s calling. She is calm, loving, positive, patient, fair and kind in all situations. She always greets the children at the door with a smile in the morning and never lets a holiday or birthday pass without a celebration and a gift (Quite an amazing personal touch). She is a genuinely good person, who truly loves all the children in her care and they truly love her. I guess the best reference for Jennifer could be that fact that my daughter will not want to leave when it is time to go in the evening.

Sadly, my daughter will be leaving Jennifer’s, as I will be taking maternity leave for 1 year then she will be starting Junior Kindergarten in fall 2015. It will be an adjustment for all of us, as Jennifer opens up her home and family to her clients and makes us all feel like extended family. 

Jennifer is a truly exceptional person and her home daycare is one that my husband and I would recommend without reservation.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

"You will not find a daycare that is more ideal! Jennifer shows nothing but care, love, consideration and dedication to all those children in her care. Jennifer made it very easy for our Son settle and adapt to her daycare setting. Lots of outdoor adventures, arts and crafts and enjoyment. We would pick him up having had a great day. What’s a better sign to you about a daycare than your child not even saying ‘good bye’! He had a wonderful time with Jennifer – we would highly recommend Jennifer’s daycare to anyone!"

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
