Public Child Care Program Registration in Toronto

“Having to leave our child in the care of others after-school felt so unnatural to us at the beginning. Yet, from our first day at Rippleton Roadsters, we were pleasantly surprised by the genuine care and compassion given to our child. We knew we had made the right choice in daycare providers when we went to pick up our child one day and she said, ” Daddy, can I please stay longer with the daycare teacher? Rippleton Roadsters is more than just another daycare facility, it’s a family who cares for your children”

As working parents, it is often hard to find quality childcare that is convenient, affordable, and most importantly, safe and nurturing.  We found this trifecta at Rippleton Roadsters childcare about 9 years ago!  We loved that this childcare was located inside Rippleton P.S. – our daughter started in the pre-school program and had no problem transitioning to kindergarten when the time came as she already had friends and was comfortable in a school environment.  The hours offered by Rippleton Roadsters and their flexible summer program also make it easy for parents to juggle working life with family time.  We had our son and daughter in other childcare programs and found that Rippleton Roadsters’ early childhood, before/after school and summer programs to be cost effective and provide good value for your hard working dollars. However, it is the Staff at Rippleton Roadsters that makes this place a winner – their warm greetings when we pick up the kids, their efforts to make it a fun and interesting environment, and genuine concern for the safety and well-being of the children.  There is a low turnover for Roadsters Staff which says a lot about the quality of the hiring, and the experience of its Staff members. I have also seen firsthand how supportive Rippleton Roadsters Staff are to the entire school community by contributing to school fundraisers, attending special school events, and the everyday camaraderie with the teaching staff and student population.  It is not easy leaving your beloved child with “strangers” but we never had to worry about this as the people at Roadsters quickly became our “family” and the “home away from home” for our kids for almost a decade.  Choosing Rippleton Roadsters was one of the best and easiest decisions we made as parents and we will be forever grateful for their positive impact on our family!

“I was 30 weeks pregnant with my second child and worried about all the transitions my first was to experience. The staff are so incredible and made us feel so comfortable. Their open door policy calmed all my fears, and allowed me to see first hand how much my son was thriving and loving his environment. Fast forward to today, My third child cannot wait to join her brothers in the program come September. Rippleton Roadsters is my families home away from home and I couldn’t imagine them being anywhere else”.

From the first day, the entire staff at Rippleton Child Care provided an amazing amount of support, affection, patience and care for my daughter.  The Rippleton team were instrumental in her fundamental development and for that we are forever grateful.   We are so happy we chose them for our daughter and now my son, who will be starting in the fall.  Highly recommended!

“I was fortunate enough to find this little gem of a preschool program when we first moved into the area.  Six years later my 3 children have all graduated from the Rippleton Roadsters Preschool Program and now attend the before/after school program that they offer!!  I am grateful to Denise, Pela and each and everyone of the staff at this program for all the loving care and guidance that my children receive on a daily basis.  Their energy, love, compassion, warmth, respect and patience for the children, the parents and each other is contagious.  As a team they are constantly listening, learning and improving to better the education and experience for the children”.

“As a parent, I am grateful to Denise and her staff, for the smooth transition, when my boys joined Rippleton Roadsters Childcare in 2013, and have never regretted the decision ever since! The staff at Rippleton Roadsters care for my children, as if they were one of their own and I always felt secure knowing that my kids were in the best hands! They accommodated every request, to ensure the unique needs of my kids were addressed, to guarantee my kids were happy and successful everyday.  I cannot thank Rippleton Roadsters and the staff enough, for their daily delivery of quality care and the highest standards of early childhood curriculum, as well their after-school programs.  The best judge of that are my boys; when it’s time to go home, they always wanted to stay longer! Thank you to all the staff that give me peace of mind when I am away from my boys, for the past 6 years, and for contributing to making them comfortable, happy and secure, everyday“.

A second home for my kids. That’s the perfect way to describe Roadsters. The staff here is regarded as family by all of us, but especially and most importantly by my 2 kids. Compassionate, understanding, patient, involved are all words i would also use to describe the entire staff. 4 years ago, we placed my eldest in the preschool program. She has since been enrolled in the before and after care program. We couldn’t wait to get our youngest enrolled. He’s graduating from preschool this year (bittersweet) but will be enrolled in the before/after program. And when presented with summer camp options, they insist on staying throughout the summer for their summer camp program! I have to twist their arms and practically bribe them to leave at the end of the day when I pick them up after hours, they never want to leave. That alone is very telling. If I could rename the program it would be called ABOVE-AND-BEYOND childcare because that is the level of care you and your children get here.
