I want to thank you and all the staff at Willowbrae for the positive experience he has had at daycare. Sydney has learned so much from the staff and his classmates over the last 3 years. It is amazing to see the skills he learned at Willowbrae in action outside of daycare.

Sarah M

We have absolutely loved our time with Willowbrae. Everything about this place was wonderful and I will recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much for our daycare experience. Everyone will be missed!

Heidi Z

From the moment they walked through the doors, on day 1 of your opening, they were welcomed with open arms.  The care they receive is outstanding! We can see in their faces how much they enjoy it. The staff is wonderful and centre is clean, organized, and safe.  We love being able to peek into the life of our toddler throughout the day, and see that he is being so well cared for. So not only has Willowbrae met our expectations, you have gone far beyond anything we could have hoped for! Thank you for making our days better,

Joselyn L

For the entire centre, I would not hesitate to recommend it to any of my friends.  You have created a wonderful facility with wonderful teachers.  I will be forever grateful for your guidance, support and advice over the past 3 years.

Willowbrae Academy had went far beyond my expectations as a childcare facility! There is Braeview which allowed me to view my child while at work, structured healthy meals, daily emails that let you know their daily activities, naps and meals. The knowledge and life lessons that my child has taken from Willowbrae into Public School is second to none! Thank you Willowbrae!
