    Does anyone have any reviews/feedback about this childcare centre? I was planning on enrolling my son (will be one year of age) as it is a convenient location.  However, I can't seem to find any reviews on this place online.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

    My son is attending the infant program here.  We are ok with it as it is close to home and it had a spot open when we needed it.  The teachers in the class are friendly and caring.  The menu it is not the best out there, they serve items like crackers, sliced cheese, cream cheese, sloppy joe etc.  They open till 6:30 pm which is a bonus. My son seems to be happy there.  We also like how most kids in his class are calm and seem to be well-behaved. 

    The main cons is it is a for-profit centre so the bottom line (financially) is the utmost important.  We did not like how the turn-over is high, within 3 months of attending this daycare, my son class has had 3 different ECEs.  The most current one is brand new (just graduated).

    hi there:

    My daughter is at Lullaboo and has been there in the infant room since august. I am very happy with the care and my child is always clean and happy when we pick up. She loves the food so we can not complain, she drinks goat milk so they are very easy in accomendating this and I never have to worry. My oldest is also in their care she is in JK so they do all the bussing to school and pick up I never have to worry.  so it is nice for me to pick up and dop off both children in one spot. I love how they have a chef on site it makes it easy for me when I know that they will provide something else if my child does not eat the lunch or snack.

    If you are the kind of parent who desires to have lots of feedback and full details on your child's activities each day, then this daycare is not the place for you and your child. Communication is a major problem at Lullaboo. 

    The staff and administration are accommodating in some respects. However, the staff turnover is so high that you may be best advised NOT to learn the names of some of the new staff -- instead waiting to see if they will last a two-week period.  

    My kids have been exposed to 4 different classrooms and about 20 different teachers in one year. I am not exaggerating. It is certainly not the best place if you require continuity!

    The food is OK --and they will make accommodations for your child's diet. That is the ONE thing that is undeniably good about Lullaboo. The willingness for them to ensure that your child eats what he or she likes.

    Overall, if your child does not require special attention, you may find it to be an OK experience.  If however your child needs special attention for whatever reason, you may find that you will encounter a few problems. Let's say that there could be greater attention to detail and definitely more focused and timely follow-through on parent requests. 

    If you have to negotiate care that is out of the norm, there is no guarantee that you will get what the administration promises to you. You will find yourself having to follow-up and ask again and again. Of course, that is a most undesirable position to find yourself in but that is what obtains at Lullaboo, from time to time.

    But most of the problems with continuity and program planning arise from staff selection-- inexperienced and immature students, new grads... very few mature/experienced staff. There is a lot of room for improvement if your child has special or unique needs-- outside of food.

    Hope this helps you in your decision-making.

    Hi, just wondering if Lullaboo daycare in Maple has improved on their communcations/turnover of employees since the last write up.  Also, any new comments about the daycare would be useful.

    Thanks.
