I would like to give my highest praise and gratitude to Learning Nest. The educators are extremely responsible and professional, showing great patience with my child. They have made her enjoy going to Preschool and have enabled her to learn new knowledge every day!

As a first-time mom, enrolling your baby to daycare is huge leap of trust and confidence in someone else to care for your child. The teachers and supporting staff at North York are nurturing, caring and nothing short of incredible. The facilities are spotless, the food is great, the activities are well thought out and most importantly my daughter is happy!

We enrolled our son at The Learning Nest at just 13 months old, and we knew we had found something truly special when within only two weeks of transitioning, he was running into the arms of his caretakers each morning. Today, he absolutely adores going to school. He’s blossomed into the most joyful, social little boy, and so much of that transformation is thanks to the incredible environment at The Learning Nest.
