We’re really happy with Woodlands Long Day Care! Leslie and Madison are absolutely wonderful – they are so kind, caring, and always make us feel welcome. Our children are always excited to go, which says so much about the warm and fun environment they’ve created. My daughter especially enjoys painting and drawing – it’s lovely to see her creativity grow each day. The centre is clean, safe, and filled with engaging, educational activities. We truly feel that our children are in good hands every day. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing day care!
