We’ve had two children attend Little People’s over the past 7.5 years. The facility is well organized and undeniably dependable. The staff members are professional, kind and fun – the atmosphere is always active and happy. I was especially impressed with the amount of outdoor play, walks and fantastic field trips. Little People’s is proactive and continues to evolve – they have educational seminars for parents, professional development for their staff, and their childcare programing and creative activities are exceptional. Over the past 7.5 years they have consistently demonstrated their love and commitment to the children and ensuring that they have the best possible experience at daycare.

“The Little People’s Program has been an amazing experience for our kids. The wonderful staff, program, facility and communication have all been top notch. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Little People’s. Since starting there in 2010, our daycare needs have been covered. A big Thank-you for your services.”

When your child complains about extra ‘stay home days’ you know it is a pretty special spot.

I take no credit for all the amazing stuff my kids know! The teachers are amazing!

“My daughters have nut allergies and the staff at LPW Mundy Pond Road have always been very careful in communicating and enforcing a nut-free policy and reassuring me that they are in safe hands.”

“The staff at LPW Mundy Pond Road are wonderful ECEs with training and programs in place to provide a stimulating play-based learning environment. Just as importantly, they are loving and warm and have all gone above and beyond to create a family-feel in a daycare setting.”

“I thought I might feel like a centre-based daycare was too big for my two year old, but I was wrong. The ECEs are loving, kind and affectionate toward her and she is happy and excited to tell me about the fun things she’s done. There is nothing big-box about this daycare.”

Best thing I’ve ever done is start my child here!
She was in a day home prior to little Peoples and she has bloomed in her learning since starting there.
She even ask to go on weekends .
When a parent can go to work with not having to worry about their child, it makes for a very happy mommy & child
Can’t say enough good about LPW!

Putting our son in Little People’s Workshop was one of the best choices we’ve made for him. He’s happy, we’re happy, and the staff are well professional, supportive, and open. I’d recommend them to everyone.

My oldest started at LPW 3 yrs ago, and my youngest has been there for 2 yrs now. It has been a wonderful experience for our family so far, and we have only wonderful things to say about the facility and the super fantastic staff. Our kids love it there and are happy to go every morning, sometimes they even ask to go on the weekend!!

Little Peoples workshop is an amazing place for your child to play, learn and grow. Being a working mom it is hard to find a balance between work and family and leaving your child in someone’s care all day is a hard thing to do. I have had two children go through Little Peoples workshop and the care they provide is above and beyond what you could ever expect from a daycare. They provide more than a childcare service they provide peace of mind. And for a working mom that is invaluable.

My child is getting ready to start Kindergarten. He has been with the LPW family since he was an infant. Looking back I can say that the staff have always been a great support to me. They made sure my child was nurtured and safe, which gave me peace of mind but the greatest gift was that I felt he was loved. Thank you LPW!

Since 2007 my husband and I have had 3 of our children attend Little People’s Workshop. As parents we wish that we didn’t need the services of a daycare but the reality is that many of us do. This means that we are faced with the important and difficult decision of finding a facility that will provide the love and care that our children deserve and will give us parents peace of mind knowing that while we are away from them, they are being loved, they are safe and secure and they are learning to interact with other children which is so important. Little People’s Workshop has more than met our expectations in every area. We cannot thank the Little People’s staff enough for the love and care they have provided our children.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Little People’s Workshop! The centre is very well run, warm and inviting, the activities are engaging, and the food is delicious (our son always eats 2 bowls of lunch!). Best of all, the teachers genuinely care for our son – his main classroom teacher goes above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and engaged. Whenever I enter the classroom to pick my son up, there’s always such a lovely atmosphere.

Kim Bridgett

My little dude loved loved his first day. He never ever flinched when I left! Which is shocking seeing big as we are just coming off a serious bout of separation anxiety.
I don’t know what kind of magic these employees possess, but whatever it is has helped my boy so much!
I give them 100 stars.

N. Smith

As a parent there is nothing better than knowing that my daughter is safe and in great hands when I drop her off each day. The staff at Little People’s workshop (Cowan Ave) are very caring individuals that play such an important role in my daughter’s life. There is such a great range of activities at the centre that allow the children to learn in a very fun and positive way. The impact on her development is wonderful. She is dropped off and picked up each day with a smile on her face. Thanks for everything you all do.
