Our daughter was cared for by Katherine from the time she was 10 months old, upon our first meeting with Katherine we felt confident with the quality of care that Georgia would receive. The daycare space is warm, welcoming and Katherine exudes confidence and a love for what she does. We always felt that Katherine was an extension of our parenting and trusted in every decision that she made - with that said, Katherine welcomes open communication and was always happy to discuss our daughter's development and change things in her routine if necessary. The bond that Georgia has with Katherine is so special and we are forever grateful for the continued role that she has in our lives.

Both our kids were in a large daycare centre prior to going to Katherine’s and it didn't work for any of us. Our family is so lucky to have found Katherine’s daycare to care for both our kids. She provides the personalized care we were looking for in a safe, loving and supportive environment. Our kids thrived under her care; they learned so much in preparation for kindergarten through play, art and crafts, and many outdoor adventures.

Katherine is a dedicated and compassionate holistic educator and care-giver who takes the whole child into consideration in her programming and general approach to early childhood development. Our first child was in Katherine’s care from the age of 18 months to 2.5 years. Katherine made the transition into daycare seamless for Freya. A finicky sleeper, we had been so concerned about how Freya would nap at daycare and how she'd do being away from us all day! But Katherine worked her magic, assuaged our fears and had Freya napping consistently and engaged in fun activities all day. Katherine is an excellent communicator and honestly, just a true gem of a human whose passion for early childhood education and development shines through in all she does.

Katherine is an incredibly dedicated and nurturing caregiver. Her positive energy sets such a wonderful tone for the program. Katherine’s home-based daycare appealed to us because of the small size, proximity to home, and flexibility. As a self-employed parent, it was important for me to have an option for part-time care and she was often able to accommodate extra days as needed. The kids spent their days at parks and learning together in their small group. Katherine’s teaching background shines through and my son learned so much in her care. A small home-based program was a very good fit for my sensitive little guy. He is now thriving in senior kindergarten and I credit so much of his social, emotional, and academic success to these important early experiences with Katherine and the small group of children in her nurturing home-based daycare program.

We couldn't have been more delighted with our son's time at Katherine’s! He was always so happy spending time there, and we absolutely love Katherine - complete trust for his safety, and knowing he would have a wonderful day, every day. I truly couldn't recommend anyone more highly.
