WEE WATCH PETERBOROUGH REVIEWS

I have been a provider through Wee Watch Peterborough Agency since March of this year, and it has been a pleasure to work alongside such a helpful & supportive team! From the start Brittney (who is just amazing!) worked at getting me set up quickly and made sure I had all the tools I needed for an easy and informed start up! I am so grateful to have been able to link arms with WeeWatch & their caring team of hard workers who want to see the absolute best for the kids in care, while helping providers with all the tools to success! Shout out to Nadine, Darlene, Sherri, & Courtney who have helped me a long the way with anything I've needed! It's really been a great agency to work alongside, and I am so happy I made the career change I did for me and my family. I love watching my kiddos & their sweet little new friends interact every day while helping them grow & learn through play & fun in my home.

My kids are each in separate daycares through wee watch. And I can say they both have AMAZING providers. My daughter has Autism and her provider has been hands down the best. My son’s provider has helped him so much with enjoying daycare, he yells with excitement when we turn onto her road in the morning and leap in her arms for hugs. Both great providers.

The staff at Wee Watch made it such a great experience when looking for childcare. They were so helpful and informative when trying to decide on a provider. All around, they made the whole process so easily which was amazing. The best part is that we absolutely love our provider & I feel so comfortable leaving my son with her!

ROWAN TREE CHILDREN'S SCHOOL REVIEWS

ROWAN Tree is a wonderful program led by warm, caring and patient staff. My daughter is thrilled to attend each day and enjoys an abundance of outdoor play and learning through nature. A gem within our community!

My daughter absolutely loves her time at Rowan Tree. She gets along great in the small class size and enjoys all of the lovely songs, stories, artwork and play the share together.

NORTHVIEW DAYCARE AND NURSERY SCHOOL REVIEWS

Northview Dayschool and Nursery was our very first daycare, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. It wasn’t just a place that kept our daughter safe and fed — it was a place where we saw her thrive, grow, and develop in so many ways. The teachers, Rachel and Bronwyn, did an incredible job nurturing her learning. They taught her new words, helped her understand and manage her emotions, encouraged polite communication, and redirected her behavior in such a gentle and effective way. Their patience, dedication, and persistence educating the children — even with the toddlers — is truly inspiring. Our daughter was always so happy to go to daycare. It’s such a well-run organization. It’s so rare in this day and age to see people so invested in their jobs. Unfortunately, we had to move to Toronto and leave Northview. To this day, it’s the place we miss the most from Peterborough. They set such a high standard for what a daycare could be that it’s been nearly impossible to find anything comparable here in Toronto. We are so grateful for the time we spent at Northview, and we would highly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, caring, and truly developmental daycare experience. You won’t be disappointed!

Northview DaySchool provides peace of mind that my children are well loved & cared for. The staff cares not only for each child but each family that they are part of.

They are fantastic! Everyone on staff is amazing and truly care about each child.
