Here are a few of our recent reviews! View more on our Review Page!
My experience have been amazing. My kids love it . All the staff are very caring and supportive . Especially love their program and additional activities I highly recommend it .
“We are so grateful for Kinder Buddies. Since enrolling my son in preschool class, my son has shown incredible improvement in his skills and speech. The teachers Jasmeen &Deepika and all staff are patient, encouraging, and truly invested in his development. Every day, he comes home with new words and better social skills. It’s amazing to see his confidence grow in such a nurturing environment. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place that truly supports their child’s growth!Thanks.
Kinder Buddies is one of the best childcare centres in this area! My son started at Kinder Buddies, in the toddler program, when he was 17 months, and easily transitioned to preschool a couple months ago. Being a first-time mom, I was so nervous to leave my child in the hands of strangers, but quickly learned the staff are warm, compassionate and they truly care for the children. My son’s development has excelled since joining with Kinder Buddies! On top of everything, he has a great relationship with staff and the other children. One of the bonuses is that my son has so much fun daily, and enjoys the excursions. I truly recommend this childcare centre. You won’t regret it!😊
Very caring staff who took wonderful care of our son. We are so grateful to all the staff for such fantastic care and are looking forward to seeing you all again for baby number 2.
We love Kinder Buddies! Our daughter just graduated and transitioned smoothly to JK, thanks to the amazing staff and management. Every stage was easy and fun, and I always felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I’m excited to return with my second child in spring 2025. I highly recommend this daycare to all parents. Thank you for a wonderful experience—we look forward to the future with our other little ones!
Kinder Buddies was recommended to us by a colleague of mine with it being within a minute from my office, therefore it was always convenient for drop off and pick ups. We had my daughter enrolled since she was 18 months in 2021. The centre took Covid protocols very serious with daily screening including temperature check's. All the staff have been extremely friendly and each one held a place in my daughter’s heart. After graduating almost a month ago she still continues to reference so many things she had learned throughout her time there. They would have many on and off site excursions which always made it extra fun for her. 10/10 recommend if you are thinking about enrolling your child here!
We feel so lucky to have such an amazing daycare center in our neighborhood. Our son have grown so much during the stay with his friends and teachers here. He will definitely miss everyone!
Having my child at Kinder Buddies has been an extreme pleasure. The staff is so affectionate and caring. They helped us enhance the development skills of our baby in so many ways. From encouraging him to walk to help him explore new kind of food, they did it all!! They have a strong curriculum and routine, which they adhere to. Kinder buddies will always be very close to my heart and my child’s development journey!
My son has been with Kinder Buddies since late 2021 and will be moving on to JK soon! We’ve had an incredible experience with this childcare centre. All of his teachers have genuinely shown so much love, care, warmth and attention to him. This was so important for me for anyone taking care of my child. On top of that, they had an interesting play based curriculum, with lots of outdoor time, nature walks, singing, dancing, working on letters etc. they also regularly offer fun excursions (exp strawberry picking, to a farm) which is very enriching and something my child would come home talking about non stop! Baby #2 will be joining this center soon. Thanks Kinder Buddies for the great experience!
We have been apart of the Kinder Buddies community for the last 5 years. Both of our children are graduates from the Centre and we have nothing but great things to say about our experience there. Both children learned so much and were so well prepared entering kindergarten. As parents we knew we were leaving our children in good hands each day, that they would be loved, cared for, and guided through their earlier years. I always felt Kinder Buddies went above and beyond with the extra curriculars they provided the children, the in house made lunches and snacks (Thank you Ms. Kaitlyn!), the celebrations they shared in each class, and the use of technology to keep parents well informed. The teachers at the centre are passionate and care for your children like one of their own. And the leaders of the centre show great professionalism. Thank you Kinder Buddies for the wonderful years! We know our little ones will miss you all!
I can’t speak highly enough about the staff at Kinder Buddies! They are kind, caring, professional and truly help the children develop. Both our children happily go every morning and come home happy which as a parent makes our decision to send them to Kinder Buddies a great one for our family!
We had our daughter there since she was 1 year old. They are amazing taking care of kids, teaching them, and communicating with us. I have nothing but good things to say about this daycare. I am an extremely picky mom, I always ask questions and I am very protective of my child, and this daycare met all my needs and gave me peace of mind that my daughter was in good hands. Teachers there are very friendly and kind. Give this daycare a chance and you will be happy you did.
Fantastic place! I have one child moving on to kindergarten and one with two years to go and it's been an amazing experience for both. I recommend it with no hesitation.
Our experience with Kinder Buddies has been great!! The teachers and the management genuinely care for the kids and are prompt in their responses. We never had to worry and were rest assured that our daughter is in safe hands..Thanks to the management and teachers for being part of my daughter’s early development phase…we loved this day care!!
We absolutely love Kinder Buddies! Our daughter has been at the centre for the past 3 years and we are so pleased with their services. Since day one, every staff member has treated her so well. They are caring, kind , and compassionate. As our daughter is set to start big girl school, we are so happy that our son will begin his journey with Kinder Buddies in September. Thank you for being such a great spot for our children :)
We moved to Canada in 2018 and had to find a daycare for our then 1 year old daughter. After looking at a number of daycares that were of mixed quality we came upon Kinder Buddies. From the beginning they stood out from the rest in terms of quality, care for the children and educational curriculum. Almost 3 years later our daughter has loved every day she's been at Kinder Buddies. The staff are amazing, the education, food, care during covid, activities etc have all been fantastic. I would highly recommend them - it gives such piece of mind that our little one is so well looked after.
Our daughter has been at Kinderbuddies for over 2 years now and she started when she was just 8 months old.. We have moved from the infant room to the toddler room and now the preschooler room. At every stage, the staff and management has clear guidelines and curriculum leading to a well rounded growth of the child.This place is wonderful with very good teachers and management who are vested in the child's well being.Since covid, the center has followed strict protocol spending ample time screening all children every morningIt is so pleasant to drop our child at the center every morning and to be greeted by smiling faces.The center also offers amazing meals and my daughter definitely loves the food here!We are sad to leave later this year as our child will be going to kindergarten but thanks to Kinderbuddies, we feel our daughter is ready to tackle KindergartenWe highly recommend kinderbudies!
We have sent both of our children to Kinder Buddies, our youngest child currently attending. We highly recommend this day care. The teachers are kind hearted and always on the ball. Management is always professional, responsive, and supportive to our needs and requests. The building itself is clean, colourful, fun, and something delicious is always cooking in the kitchen. A warm shout out to the cook/ float teacher, the familiar faces who have worked here for years, and all the educators working hard every day to care for our young children. We appreciate this centre a lot! And even during the pandemic, we see the school not only follows strict protocols and passes every inspection, but continues to provide a warm and welcoming environment for children and keeps parents in the loop! We love dropping off our kiddo and being greeted by the staff doing intake every day. Once again, thank you to management and educators, you guys rock!!!!!
We loved Kinder Buddies. And if we didn’t move out of province our daughter would still be enrolled there today. The centre was warm and welcoming. But most importantly, it was filled with teachers and caregivers that loved my kid. I knew I was leaving my daughter in caring hands every day. It was a great community to be a part of and we are very thankful for having had such a wonderful experience.
Our son will be "graduating" from Kinder Buddies to JK in September. He has attended Kinder Buddies since he was 11 months old and we are going to miss everything about the centre!!!!The staff are caring and attentive. They spend time with each and every child getting to know them, understanding their learning style and needs. Our little guy's language, motor skills and imagination have grown exponentially during his time at Kinder Buddies and we truly believe that this can be credited to the support, encouragement and guidance he has received from the staff!!! The team at Kinder Buddies are truly amazing! Staff turnover has been almost non-existent in the 3 years our son has attended the program which speaks volumes!!!The facility is well kept and very clean! This was one of our major concerns when we were first looking for daycare and Kinder Buddies exceeded our expectations! The splash pad is an added bonus which our son looks forward to every summer. The in-house chef provides delicious and nutrition meals and snacks which according to our son are way better than anything Mommy or Daddy make! Our son loved celebrating his birthdays with his classmates and special cakes made by Ms. Kaitlyn! Our little guy loved the variety of activities offered including the My Gym, Yoga, French and Music. He especially loved the field trips to the farms. As a parent you can join these excursion which we did on a number of occasion and had a blast watching the kids pick apples, berries or pumpkins which they get to bring home. Kinder Buddies' response to COVID-19 and the reopening of the facility was outstanding! All government regulations and requirements were met, if not exceeded. The communication throughout the shut down and through reopening was amazing and made us very comfortable returning our son to Kinder Buddies. The Kinder Buddies team has made a huge impact our son and our family!! Our little guy is going to miss the friendships he has made with all the staff and other children. We truly appreciate all the team at Kinder Buddies has done for Evan preparing him for his next adventure into junior kindergarten!!!
I can't say enough positive things about Kinder Buddies! My daughter started back there in 2017 when she was 11 months old and will finish in September 2020 when she starts school. Since day one that staff has been amazing and I always felt that she was in a safe space (even when they re-opened post COVID). The center is always clean and I always felt like she was in a safe environment. .All meals are prepared on site which I really love & they offer a variety of healthy meals for the kids. They also have a variety of extra activities like Music, French & Yoga which my daughter really enjoyed. They also used to have monthly executions that my little ones always looked forward to, especially riding on the bus. I always felt that the staff/teachers truly loved my child and always had her best interest in mind. I have seen her grow so much with their support. I have never regretted making the decision to trust my child in their care. I work very close to the center and one point 5 of my co-workers also had their children enrolled there as well, I think that speaks volumes. I know my daughter will truly miss her DayCare family come September and we are sad to go but off to Big Girl School we go!
We liked Kinder Buddies from the moment we walked through the door the first time. Our son is off to JK soon and we know that he has loved his time at Kinder Buddies. He's going to miss the KB team (and the food)! Our daughter just started at KB this past month and the staff have been so kind and so attentive to her. I highly recommend this lovely Daycare.
Our daughter felt very happy and safe, she always wanted to go and when she arrived she was the first to run towards the door. It is a very nice place for children.It was the first place that opened the doors to us in Canada, it was the first time that we separated from Penelope, but here they knew how to help us and teach us that everything would be fine and so it was, Penelope learned to share more with other children, she brought new songs and words. For real, everyone in this place make a fantastic job with all the children, you can see the love they have for their work.
Our 3 and a half years old daughter went to this daycare since she was 12 months old and she was always happy to go. Teachers and management were always loving and caring our daughter. This place provides a very positive, educational and friendly atmosphere for the kids.
I have had a great experience with this Daycare. My son started full time with them when he was just under 2 years age and stayed there for 2 years.He went through all 4 classes from Toddler (1&2) to Preschool (1&2). Each staff member is amazing here as they are quite caring and respectful. The teachers are doing awesome work with full dedication towards little kids.My son was always happy being with them - everyday when I drop him he would feel another home there, and when I pick him up in the evening he was hesitant to come back as he still wanted to spend time with little friends and teachers - the kind of environment, Kinder Buddies have, says this all.Weekly special activities like French learning, music/dance, gym/yoga etc. along with once a month outdoor trips (or indoor programs during winter-like days) makes this daycare really special. These programs are simply amazing for kids as they enjoy a lot with new learning everyday.Regarding food as they have policy to not bring any food from outside, they cook by their own in the kitchen and maintains nuts free facility and it's truly hygienic. The cleanness of each classrooms and common areas is being well maintained all the times.The management has also been great as they communicate with parents on regular basis to discuss about child's development and plans for further improvements if required. The teachers found well focused on each child in the classroom and hence no kid will feel isolated or ignored.The collaboration between various classrooms is also important and the same has been found really very good here - during common events/programs kids have ability to get to know about other kids and teachers that make them socialized.In summary I couldn't have found any better option for my son when I needed the most I was fortunate to have them found through one of the friend's referral - it exceeded all our expectations with 5 stars honestly.Thank you to each and everyone at Kinder Buddies Childcare Development Centre.Wish you all good luck and hope to see you soon again.
3 years at Kinder Buddies & we absolutely love it - we highly recommend this daycare/school! The teachers and staff love our children and that means everything to us. The program allows for tons of hands-on learning and our kids love the splash pad and the field trips. At 3 years old, my son could count to 100 by 1's and 10's and knew every letter and sound. We are happy we went with our gut feelings years ago and chose this daycare!
My 2 kids enjoyed being a part of this daycare for almost 4 years.i highly recommend this childcare centre. My little 1 was so sad when he stopped going there amid pandemic
Kinder Buddies has helped my 2-yr old daughter to become more independent and interactive. She definitely developed more social skills since starting at the daycare. The staff are very pleasant and accommodating. I love how they have different activities for learning and entertainment. My daughter will be missing the teachers especially Teacher Olga whom she always mention at home. This is a great centre to entrust your kid's learning and care. I would definitely recommend.
Went here for a tour to decide if it was a good place. Felt a bit uneasy as the kitchen door was wide open with a gas oven with live flame burning. With kids running around It made us feel uneasy. It also seemed like the kinda place that "audtioned" you. Not really our thing as we believe in inclusiveness and treating others equally. Just doesn't feel above board
kinder buddies is an amazing daycare, i would highly recommend parents to enroll their kids there.i can see the development of my daughter ,and its all because of her amazing teachers.Also they have a great management staff ,dedicated to work and the kids.
I’ve been very happy with Kinder Buddies every step of the way. From the teachers to the program supervisor I can’t say enough about how happy I am. My picky eater is doing so much better, he’s happy to go to daycare and his teachers have really helped him with his independence. I would happily recommend Kinder Buddies to anyone who’s looking for a fun and safe place that promotes learning in a kid-friendly way.
Where can I begin about Kinder Buddies childcare?! Our little one started here when he was just under 18 months in the toddler one program and went on to graduate from preschool! The daycare hands down provided a great program with so many activities, experiences, support and fun through the structured schedule. The directors were great, so involved and so easily approachable. I want to especially thank the management team for their transparency and openness. Thank you Kinder Buddies and we will continue to recommend the centre to all!
I am thoroughly thankful to have found Kinder Buddies and that Nolan was part off the Kinder family. Nolan started in the infant room and moved up through to the preschool room. 3+ years at Kinder allowed Nolan to break out of his shell and learn to trust others. A centre that far exceeds any other in the area; Nolan was provided with a structure that filled his life with academics, life experiences, love & support while surrounded by people we soon were able to call family. The teachers far exceed any mom's expectations and truly care about the well being of the children. The centre is very well organized by management and children are given opportunities to learn from field trips, special visitors, dance, yoga and French which is a rarity at most centres. Ms. Caitlyn (chef) is the kindest soul and makes the most nutritious meals and snacks for the kiddos as well as extends her love and care for the children in between meals. Nolan has attended JK for a little over a month and can see that he has been given the stepping stones to a successful future and since become a leader in life. Whole heartedly, thank you Kinder for a wonderful 3+ yrs.
Each of my two daughters came out of their shells because of their experiences at Kinder Buddies. My first girl started in the toddler room, and the other started all the way from the infant room. Each child learned how to be kind, caring, curious, and engaged with others thanks to the wonderful structure created by the management team and the excellent commitment and dedication by the staff. The environment is very immersive for the kids, and very safe and secure for parents. On a daily basis, their awesome chef cooks up breakfast, lunch and snacks for the kids. At the end of every day, the teachers write on whiteboards outside their classes so parents can read about their child’s day and connect back to their kids. The managers send out monthly newsletters and calendars that show daily activities, planned trips, daily themes like pajama day, water-play day, bring your favourite toy day etc. The teachers genuinely care about the kids and take time to get to know them and give feedback to parents. They go above and beyond, hosting annual Mother’s day and Father’s day activities and invite parents and guardians to attend. My wife and I are grateful to have had the opportunity to enroll our kids with Kinder Buddies. They have grown so much, not just physically, but intellectually and socially. My kids are off to “move their mountains.” Thank you so much for showing them how to do it with respect and kindness.
Great daycare! My daughter started in the infant program and graduated to toddler in her time there and the staff in each program were wonderful. She really bonded with them quickly and felt comfortable to be there. She was happy to go there in the mornings and this made my transition back to work so much easier. I love that they keep things interesting for the children with field trips and on site visitors (music teacher, yoga instructor, etc).
My son has been at Kinder Buddies since he was 13 months old and he will be starting school in September. The staff (especially in Senior Preschool class) are exceptional, loving and caring. I love all the events the daycare has as well as special excursions. I also appreciate the Chef Ms. Kaitlyn! I know all the children eat well at Kinder Buddies. My son has made many friends and memories during his time at Kinder Buddies and my husband and I couldn't thank everyone more!
We are so thankful we chose Kinder Buddies Daycare facility to help aid in the growth + development of our daughter. We have been extremely satisfied with the care and learning skills the Teachers have given our little girl over the past three years. Would highly recommend this Daycare to anyone looking in the Oakville/Mississauga area.
I toured the daycare for my toddler and found it was not clean to the standard I've seen in other day cares. I would shop around before considering this one, there are better in the area.
My toddler was with the daycare for a year now, graduating to kindergarten this year. She loved it there. The teachers are very caring & patient. They have a bunch of activities for the toddlers including yoga, dance, French class, outings (apple picking, farm trips) and adopt very creative & practical way of teaching through animal shows, etc. Besides that, they communicate very well with parents through emails and newsletters as well as update us on their developments. A big shout out to Ms Farida, Ms Liu and Ms Carmel (preschool teachers) for doing an amazing job. Thank you for all your support, Kinder Buddies !!
We are so grateful to have Kinderbuddies be a part of our village. Our daughter has attended since she was 12 months old and we have never had any issues. We really appreciate all of the staff and they feel like family. I love the optional field trips they have for kids as well. My daughter has had so much fun going to farms, playplaces and having an animal show come to the daycare. All of the staff from administrators to teachers to the cook are absolutely lovely, professional and love my daughter. Right from day 1 I had confidence that not only would she be cared for and have her needs met but that she would have fun and be loved. Thank you for a wonderful year, Kinderbuddies. You have helped M grow so much!
My son has been going to Kinder Buddies since he was an infant. The staff at Kinder Buddies has been so kind to him. Often, he would come home and talk about his teachers very positively. He also loved the once a month special events they gave (animal show, Play Town, Bronte Creek, etc.) I feel very lucky to have found a child care center that supports his learning and growth in a positive way during his formative years.
Love this place! Wish I could keep her here even longer. The teachers were very attentive and the staff really went above and beyond to make her comfortable and to feel at home at the centre. The programs are amazing: French, Yoga, Zumba, Splash Pads, Nature Walks, Music Classes, Excursions as well as special instructors coming into the class. She knows everyone's name at the centre - even kids in other classes. Really happy we found this place. Our daughter has grown so much in their care
We joined the Kinder Buddies community 4 years ago. Our daughter, who will be starting grade 1 in September began there part- time. With the addition of the infant room in 2015, she started full time as her little brother began attending. He will be going onto J.K this September. Our daughter still talks fondly of her time at Kinder Buddies. Our son also loved going to "school" every day. Kinder Buddies offers an amazing program, lots of variety and the field trips were fun and educational. Jolly Phonics really helped with early literacy and the children enjoyed doing it. The weekly French, dance and Yoga classes were also something my children looked forward to.The teachers were all welcoming and very hard working.From Christmas concerts, to the end of year events to all the wonderful staff here, we will truly miss Kinder Buddies.We thank them for taking such great care of our children.
We have been with Kinder Buddies for over 4 years and absolutely love this place! Both our daughters have thrived under their care. All teachers have been very loving and helpful. And the owners are willing to go above and beyond to meet your needs and are very helpful as well. Another bonus about this day care is that they cook healthy meals on the premises, no catering which is very hard to find. They have amazing extra programs for kids like music, dance, yoga, French, sign language...they also go on field trips by school bus once a month which both my kids always looked forward to. I really recommend this day care to anyone that’s looking for their little one.
Our son has been in Kinder Buddies since he was 11 months old. Man was that rough. But The teachers worked with him and us on how to calm him down at drop off! The rest is history. Great daycare by far. So glad we were introduced to Kinder Buddies! Our son made some good little friends at the here, that we know he’ll miss. Definitely a big HUGE help in his development too! He’s such a smart little man, with a great personality!! Thank you Kinder Buddies for everything!!
My son started in Senior Preschool class 9 months ago. Initially, he was a bit cranky for almost a month and during this period the teachers made sure, he gets all the love and care he needs. Now he has turned to be a boy with his own personality, he expresses himself, and learning so so much and doesn't want to come home anymore :) He loves his class, his little friends, all the activities he gets to do and the playground to play around. All the staff at this preschool is very caring and family like. They pay attention to each kid and their development. They might not be very tech savvy and have an app for you to get notified about everything that your kid might be doing (like some other preschools), but the daily report that they provide definitely helps to know what your child did on that day. I would like for them to upgrade the infrastructure of their classrooms (make it look more fancier/newer), but nonetheless they do have everything a child needs for their learning and entertainment and that's more important. All in all, I love this pre-school and its staff for my son!! :)
