Investing in your child's future is always a good idea

Located at Yonge & Sheppard only minutes from the TTC and with quick access to Highway 401, our North York campus is the epitome of convenience. Opened in the fall of 2024, our classrooms are bright and spacious with a fully naturalized playground purposefully built to stimulate children’s development. Our academic-based curriculum and an abundance of socialization opportunities resonates with North York families looking for a premium daycare experience.

Please note that our North York campus is not part of the Canada Wide Early Learning and Childcare program (CWELCC).

Our parent appreciation

We've been seeing all the amazing activities the Toddler teachers have been setting up for our son captured in pictures and videos. We have peace of mind seeing our son being well taken care of.
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!
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!
