Strathcona Child Development Centre

When our dayhome closed its doors, my husband and I made the decision to switch to a daycare since we didn't have any backup care in the event that our dayhome provider was unable to provide care to our kids. My main concern with switching to a daycare was that it would feel very institutional and, most importantly, "Would they be loved like they were at the dayhome?!" At SCDC, my kids were loved and they, in turn LOVED their amazing teachers. Nearly five years later, my youngest child just finished daycare as she will be going to full time school in the fall and we're both sad about it! All three of my kids have gone to SCDC in some capacity (two full-time, one drop in on PD days) and they all loved it, learned so much, and forged lasting friendships. Communication with Danielle and her team has always been outstanding and I never hesitate to recommend SCDC to friends and family. Our family will miss this wonderful place!

I was so nervous to be away from my son while he was at daycare but SCDC has made all my nerves and fears go away. They are the BEST daycare around. Daily updates, AMAZING activity for the babies. I am so beyond please with the staff and trust them 1000% with my son. Danielle is outstanding to work with and I could not be more happy.

Sending our son to daycare was strongly recommended to us by our pediatrician to help socialize him due to covid but also because he was a highly sensitive child with additional needs. We conceded although we were concerned to do so being first time parents yet especially because we worried that our child wouldn't get the care he needed. Strathcona Child Development Centre has done everything in their power to support us including securing additional care, dietary assistance, attending any meeting requests...the list goes on and on. From the amazing attention of the teachers to our director Manuela always offering us any advice she can to help our son we couldn't be more grateful for all the care, guidance and support this centre and staff has offered us. The centre itself is beautiful with tons of natural light and plants which creates a wonderful environment for children to grow and learn. We would absolutely recommend this centre to anyone who is looking for a second family ...
