“I love circle time. I love the music. I love playing with my friends. I love playing with my teachers. Them are so awesome. I love them.”

“My son attended the preschool program with Helen, Melanie and Erica and we were so impressed with how well they prepared him for kindergarten.

The teachers fostered a sense of independence and excitement, giving him the skills, confidence and encouragement leading up to this big transition.

Preschool was a fun environment that he looked forward to every week, full of songs, stimulating games and above all caring and nurturing teachers.”

“Preschool is my favourite. I feel so happy there – I wish we could sleep there every day! My favourite thing at preschool is doing crafts. I love the purple paint.”

“Sometimes I forget I like preschool. I feel shy but then my teachers help me. We play outside and after snack I feel better. Then we get to play!”

“We are a family from Orleans and this is our son’s second year at GCNS. Despite the commute, we feel confident in keeping our son here because we the teachers are truly passionate on what they do. Between Erica, Helen, and Melanie, they provide a good balance of independence, nurture, and fun to the kids. 

What we love most is the sense of community created between the families. We truly look forward to every duty-parent days, fundraising events, and pick ups. The families and the staff of the daycare AND the community centre are what make this co-op daycare a gem!”
