What People Say About Us - 2008

I have always had confidence in Elizabeth attending Monica’s house and know that she is well cared for, safe and challenged. Monica and her family are wonderful with Elizabeth and she has always felt comfortable there. I appreciate the role Kelly and Sheila play in ensuring safety through the legal requirements of licensed in home care and also the support they give to providers and parents.

M.M.

You started as a caregiver and became a surrogate mother, mentor and friend to my children and me. I will always remember how much patience and perseverance you showered Emma with everyday; teaching her to write her name, learn her alphabet and her numbers. She is ready for the next leg of her journey because you loved her enough to work with her and prepare her for the future.

S.C.

We cannot express out gratitude enough for the care of our children. They arrive every morning to smiles and open arms. They leave having had a day of adventures, new experiences and a smile on their face. Thank you so much for keeping our children safe and happy.

E. and K.

The Children’s Academy is truly a special place. The staff treat the children with love and kindness. Even when a child needs to be encouraged to change their behaviour, they do so in a very caring and respectful manner. It is no wonder that our children so enjoy it.

S.D. and D.K.

From the moment I walked into the centre I knew The Children’s Academy would be the right place for my children. The members of staff were especially warm, welcoming us in and making us feel right at home almost immediately. I made a decision right away to enroll the twins in the Toddler program. Words alone cannot express our gratitude to you and your members of staff for all that you have done to make Dorian and Taylor’s experience at The Children’s Academy an absolutely enjoyable one.

E. and R.J.

Your encouragement, patience and the way your taught Veronica during the past two years. . . You aroused Veronica’s interest in reading and improved her reading skills. Veronica is reading Level 20 in Grade 1 and we would like to dedicate this to you.

What a great introduction to school you have given my girl! She had so much fun at Flowervale and she made so many great friends. Your hard work and professionalism is appreciated!

E.M.

The teachers and staff are truly unique. No where have we experienced such concern and dedication towards the children. . . such kindness, attention and welcoming, knowing every little detail. I truly feel this centre is my son’s second home and I owe it to the teachers.

S.F.

Thanks for reading stories to my daughter. She is imitating and repeating the stories … she loves to bring home the art she has done and she is very proud to show me what she has made.

H.S.

The York Professional teachers are wonderful. The program they follow is like the school where they learn how to read, write and count. They encourage activities for fine motor skills … and use their gross motor skills in the building area. They have an imagination station and a reading corner. There is never a dull moment. They also have plenty of time for outdoor play. Whether they are building sand castles or riding bikes or playing hockey, the children are always having fun … I would absolutely recommend York Professional Care and Education – German Mills Children’s Academy.

E.K.

We are so grateful for having discovered York Professional Care and Education. We drop our children off daily knowing that they will be cared for and educated in a loving and respectful manner.

My children have been attending The Children’s Academy for the last three years and I have the utmost respect and highest regard for the staff that work there. The kindness and empathy shown to Alex and Adam, the attention to detail regarding their development, the wide variety of programming, field trips, and garden parties that take place at The Academy far exceed my expectations.

L.N.

It is important to us to recognize your outstanding service… we can honestly say that we believe that we’ve invested our money wisely when we decided to bring Spencer there, and know that the improvements that he has made, that he wasn’t getting where he was, is a testament to you and your staff.
