SMILING STARS DAYCARE REVIEWS
I love smiling stars edgemont location and am so pleased my son has attended here. He absolutely thrives at daycare and runs into the door to meet his care-givers. The main reasons I love SS are the staff (so lovely, knowledgeable, caring and it has been the same staff the whole time we have been here - over 1 yr), the food program (the food is healthy, made with fresh ingredients, and is offered frequently and given until your kid is full), the activities (are always creative and engaging for my kid), the facility (new, clean, full cribs for 0-3 to nap in!) and the management (well run, great communication, fair policies). I feel very lucky to be a SS family ! Get on the waitlist yesterday.
We couldn’t ask for a better daycare. Our daughter has been going to the new Seylynn location for just over a month now and it’s been amazing for her socially and developmentally. The teachers are amazing and do the best activities for their little brains. The manager, Tory, is a dream and such a pleasure and comfort to see every day. Can’t say enough good things about this amazing daycare!
With two of my kids with this service, Smiling Stars Daycare offers the best and comprehensive early childhood education to my kids. I would recommend to any family to apply for this service. Your kids will bring joy and happiness and wisdom back home! Go Smiling Stars, thank you.

DINOSAUR DAYCARE REVIEWS
My 3 year old daughter attended Dinosaur daycare for a few months, and though we had to switch to a different daycare, she really enjoyed her time there. The staff really care about the kids, and involve them in a variety of fun activities. The little playground as well as the green space they have outside are a great as well. My daughter would play outside (sometimes for an hour!) with other kids, after I'd pick her up at the end of the day.
Our son has been enrolled in the toddler room at Dinosaur Daycare, with excellent results. He loves all his friends there, especially Heidi the toddler room manager. He has grown so well there and is learning new things every day. The staff at the daycare are great and respond to each of the children's different personalities accordingly. I am very happy with this daycare and would recommend it to anyone thinking of putting their children there.
I have been taking my children to Dinosaur Daycare for 2 years and have had a wonderful experience! Both of my kids enjoying going and I know they are well taken care of. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure your child's individual needs are met. I have never had any issues with diaper changes as they are on a strict schedule for changing them and also washing hands. My favorite part of the location is the playground and the full gym upstairs so the kids can run around on rainy days!

THE KIDS CASTLE DAYCARE REVIEWS
Kids Castle is a wonderful daycare and provides excellent care for our two sons. We have never doubted that Ellie, Tom and the rest of the teachers love our children, and we now consider them all to be family as well. I would highly recommend Kids Castle for anyone who wants their child to attend a daycare with a loving, respectful and educational environment.
Both my children are currently at Kids Castle; one in the infant program and one in the preschool program. I cannot say enough good things about this daycare, it’s staff, and it’s owners. Ellie has always been supportive and is very knowledgeable about child development. I often recommend Kids Castle to friends. My daughter will be very sad to be leaving in a month to attend Kindergarten.
Our children love Kids Castle! Great child care for the little ones ( under 2.5 yrs) and preschool program for older ones. Most importantly, teachers are very loving and caring. Big backyard for kids to run around in good weather. Very well organized and well run day care. Ellie and Tom always lets us know if they have any concerns about the kid's health condition or behavior which we appreciate very much.
