We are a family owned and operated childcare centre that has been proudly serving the King City and surrounding areas since 2005. Our teaching staff are qualified and registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators. Our programs include Full day, Half day, Part time and Nursery School for children age 18 months to 4 years. Our preschool program is aligned with the Ontario Kindergarten curriculum. We also have a Before and After School Program for children age 4 – 12 years. We are open 12 months a year with programs during school closures such as PA Days, March Break and Summer Break.
Our mission is to create and sustain an optimum Montessori environment where children are encouraged to formulate their own minds and to be critical thinkers. Through our philosophies, principles and goals, we would like to instill a joy of life long learning. It is our aim to make each child realize their full potential for learning; and to become an independent self-motivated and contributing member of the world community.
As An Early Childhood Educator, I See Each Child As An Individual With Their Own Uniqueness; I Strive To Recognize Their Unique Personalities And Special Qualities. I Believe That Children Must Be Nurtured In A Warm, Happy And Safe Environment Where Every Child Feels Comfortable, Relaxed, And Secure. This Environment Provides An Enriched Learning Atmosphere That Will Challenge The Child'S Insatiable Desire To Explore, Discuss, Discover And Create.
The Early Years Education Centres offer the opportunity for each child to develop physically, socially and cognitively according to their individual learning style. Each child is considered unique in temperament and rate of development.
The best daycare in Richmond hill! I have been with this daycare since 2007 all my 4 kids had started at this daycare from the pre-school class; until kindergarten. They follow the Reggio method of teaching to the JK & SK students. It's always been an easy progress for my kids to Grade 1 as they knew more than most of the other kids in class. Currently my youngest is doing great at JK when I compare him with kids going to the school. The staff is very polite and nurturing, always accommodating to parents requests. An onsite Chef to prepare Hot healthy lunches provided with two snacks, beautiful ambience and colourful setting for the little creative minds with lots of pictures to keep the little troopers on their toes:) last but not least the Owner - Orit Gal is an amazing person inside out and her love for children has led her business grow so successful- Keep up the good work!Read more
Zoe's Tender Years Child Care And Nursery Will Provide Children And Their Families With An Exceptional Early Learning Experience Within A Supportive And Caring Environment.
So I have had my son in Zoe's now for about 5 months and both my husband and I are just so happy with them. My husband and I went searching for the day care that would work best for the 3 of us, and when we found Zoe's we signed up with them on the spot.
The first thing we loved about them was they work with my husband's schedule which is amazing as my husband does not have a 9-5, Monday to Friday job.
The second thing we loved about them was the home made food that the cook makes for the kids every day. You can smell the delicious food every time you walk in there and you can see the cook hard at work. Its nice knowing my son is getting a delicious home made hot lunch.
Third thing we love about the school (and this we only got to see once my son started going there) is the staff. The love and affection my son gets from his teachers is amazing and it makes me happy as a mom to know my son is being taken care of. My son goes to few people willingly but when he see's his teachers he has no problem going into their arms. He has adjusted so well into this school that I know my son is in great hands.
Another couple of things that we really like about the school is the webcam. Its nice knowing I can take a peek at what my son is up to at that moment.
And lastly is the great director that Zoe's has on staff. The directors name is Stephanie...such a joy to see and talk to every time I walk in with my son. Always has a smile ready to great the parents and has not let us down when helping us out with my husbands schedule.
I recommend this school to all my friends who have had kids and I will continue to recommend them as I could not have found a better day care!Read more
