Childcare provider: Amina
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"My daughter was in Amina’s daycare for 4 years. She started when she was only 10 months old. I have been very pleased with the care provided by Amina. She took care of my daughter as if she was her own. She is very organized and dedicated with the kids. My daughter was always neat and tidy when I picked her up every evening. She provides healthy snacks and home cooked meals. Her calm, caring nature was a great atmosphere for my daughter. She also provided daily updates about how my daughter did throughout the day. I would highly recommend Amina to anyone. You will be at peace knowing your child is in good hands and well taken care off."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"My daughter was in Amina's daycare for about a year and I was very happy with the care she provided. My daughter is by far an "easy" child to deal with and very active. Amina was understanding to her needs and catered to her very well. She took a while to adjust but after a few short months she was happy to go to daycare everyday and didn't want to leave when I went to pick her up. Both my daughter and I will miss Amina's nurturing ways greatly."

she was so amazing with my two girls, she treated them like her own and was very calm patient and understanding with them, she knew how to have fun and teach them at the same time and it made me feel very comfortable with her, her home was clean comfortable and safe.

"Amina provides a great atmosphere for kids learn and grow, with a daily routine and age appropriate activities. My little one is very energetic and Amina has been very good at keeping my active child busy.
There are also monthly educational themes, healthy lunch and snacks provided, daily updates and monthly report cards to update me on how my little has been doing. I've been using Amina's services for about a year now and would highly recommend."

Childcare provider: Amina
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"My daughter has been attending Amina's daycare for about 5 months now ever since she was 10 months old. My daughter was very attached to my family only and I was very worried as to how she would adjust at the daycare but it didn't take her too long to feel at home. Amina put her into a very good routine. She provides daily updates and is a very clean and organized person. She cares very deeply for the kids and I am so happy to have found such an experienced and responsible person to care for my child. My daughter has learned so much in these past few months. I never have to worry about my child when I'm at work as I know she is in good hands."

Childcare provider: Amina
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"My daughter attended Early Bloomers Daycare with Amina for about 10 months. She was around 10-11 months when she started as I began a new job. From the first day Amina showed great care for my daughter. Naturally it took my daughter a couple of weeks to adjust to routine and recover from separation anxiety. By the time she was 1 years old, she genuinely enjoyed attending daycare, with Amina and her fellow playmates.
Amina shows great attentiveness to the food that she serves (always following nutritional recommendations). I never worried about what my daughter was eating. She also organizes an educational curriculum for all the kids. I was continuously surprised at the amount of things my daughter was picking up ( songs, colors, directions, animals).
I would highly recommend Early Bloomers to any parent/family. You will definitely be at peace knowing that your child is so well taken care of and more importantly loved! Thank you Amina!"

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Our daughter Susan was under Amina's care from 2011 - 2014 and we were satisfied with the care that was provided. Amina takes a lot of care when it comes to kids, very organized and prepares tasty meals for the kids.
Amina also focuses on early childhood education and provides activities to kids on a regular basis. She also organizes theme days and celebrates kids birthdays and other holidays. She would also send monthly updates and pictures through e-mail. She will try her best not to take any vacation and even if she rarely does she would give enough notice to the parents.
Amina is also honest and straightforward with a focus on the good and well being of the children. She is also very detailed when it comes to providing updates on the child towards the end of the day. Her home provides a clean and safe environment for the kids as she is also much focused on the safety of the children.
Whenever possible, she also accommodates us according to our schedule and provides a good care.
She is also certified in child care which provided a level of satisfaction and assurance on the safety of the child as well.
Overall, we had a very pleasant and satisfactory experience with Amina and would definitely recommended her to parents looking for a good child care location."

"Am in a was excellent with our baby. I felt it from the first time I met her. When choosing a daycare your gut will tell you when you find the "one". She was it for us. If I could, I would use her over and over.
I enjoyed her random tea parties where families get to meet. Its a good way to know who your child is hanging around with and what background they come from.
We will miss her"

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"My daughter has been attending Little Steps Private Home Childcare full-time for over a year now and will continue to do so until she is school aged, at least. I am very happy with the daycare services as it exceeds my expectations. I never have to worry about my daughter's happiness while I am at work. I am also constantly amazed at the advancement of my daughter's skills, intellect and creativity due to what she has learnt at Little Steps.
Amina is a soft spoken, kind and genuine person. Her home is very clean, organized and safe. Her family is very friendly and welcoming. Amina has expert knowledge, experience and education in daycare management. She is also very proficient when it comes to raising children and more importantly, she has a passion for taking good care of them. She takes a personal interest in each child and she nurtures their unique personalities.
Some of the highlights of this daycare are: monthly daycare reports, learning themes, home-cooked meals, fine motor skills activities, creative pretend play, photos of your child emailed, outside play-yard, trips to the school library and artwork to bring home... I really cannot say enough good things about this daycare."

I met with this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"My son was at day care centre for 1 year and during that time, was often sick many times.He could not eat well and had less sleep at the daycare,arriving at 7am and taking a nap at 2pm which is strenuous for a 2yr old.After daycare, he was often hungry too and so irritable.
I found Amina and from that day onwards,my son has been happy all the time and excited about going to Littlesteps daycare.Amina lets them sleep when they arrive and also in the afternoon.My son is healthy, and eating very well now.On top of that,he has learned so many skills including those of communication.
She is flexible and appreciates the challenges faced by most parents regarding managing working hours and child care.She takes good care of the children as if they are her own family.Her passion seems to be of help the parents with their kids while they are at work.
I do not know if Littlesteps daycare is perfect but all I know is that it is one of the very best daycares available for your child."

Childcare provider: Amina
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Our family has been using Amina's childcare services for 2 years and have been very pleased with her professionalism and flexibility.
Our children (12, 9 and 5) had mostly been in childcare centre vs. homecare settings and the change has been quite positive. The children especially enjoy the interactions with Amina's own children.
Caring for children with such an age range can be very challenging, especially when siblings are involved. Amina manages this task very skillfully and professionally.
We are impressed with Amina's pursuit of professional development as she has just completed her diploma in Child Daycare Management from the International Career School of Canada."

"We have interviewed more than 10 providers before we picked Amina. She was the only one that impressed us the most. Very organized and caring for children.
We started with her in January and we are very happy that we found her. She is a very responsible person, she reports their daily routine in details every day and concerns about my daughter if she notices she has something wrong.
My daughter learns alot through her teaching. I am very satisfied with Amina and would 100% recommend parents who want to find a PERFECT caregiver, Amina is your only choice!!
3 thumbs up !!!"

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"When I had to go back to work last September, I was anxious about putting our 11 month old into daycare. Amina was so calm and nurturing with Rowan that we relaxed immediately. She happily updated us at the end of every day with information on what he ate, how he played, and all the other little details we were interested in. She let us know areas where our son was experiencing some difficulties so we could focus on these at home and keep consistent with Amina. When nap time was an issue, Amina was flexible and understanding and found a solution that worked.
Amina and her family were great friends to Rowan, and to us. We miss them all terribly, and are so lucky to have had that time with them. We highly recommend Amina!!!"

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Amina welcomed our son into her family as if he was her own child. Putting our little guy into daycare at just 11 months was very hard for us, but she made the transition as painless as possible. Her confidence, experience, and nurturing way made us feel comfortable, and ensured our son settled in as quickly as possible.
We chose Amina over the other providers we interviewed because she obviously cared very deeply for the children in her home, and was clearly proud of each child's accomplishments. Amina provided delicious, healthy, and varied meals, helped to teach good manners, and to socialize with the other children. At every pick-up, Amina was sure to tell us all the details of our son's day full of adventures and new developments.
We would recommend Amina 100% - we were so sad when she moved away!"

"My son Sacha was in Amina's care from the time he was 18 months old until she moved to Markham. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her care. She eased the transition not only for my son but for me as well! She answered all of my questions, gave me daily updates as to how he was eating/sleeping/socializing, etc. She provides excellent home cooked meals and excellent stimulation in the form of circle time, singing, reading, crafts and almost daily walks to the park. I have nothing but good things to say about her care. We miss her dearly."
