Reviews From Parents

We love Little Dolphins Daycare! But most importantly our son enjoys his days there and is always happy in the morning to spend time with his friends and teachers. It is a wonderful space with caring, lovely teachers. We are very lucky to be able to have our son attend this daycare! Thank you so much for everything, especially the variety of educational and fun activities for kids. Also, our son really likes the lunch program at Little Dolphins, which has been a great help for our

My son has been attending Little Dolphins Daycare since he was 30 months old. as a mother, I was very worried on the first day when my son started Daycare. Little Dolphins Daycare staff and directors made it very smooth for me and my son. The program and activities they do with children during the day is very fun and educational.. Having live camera is a good bonus that parent can download the application and see their children during the day. Not so many Daycare provide live camera access to Parents. Overall my son loves Little Dolphins Daycare and all his teachers and specially the food. Providing food is another bonus that made me relief about making food for my sonevery night as he is a picky eater. Since my son eating lunch at daycare every day, he’s not picky anymore and he loves any kind of food. I highly recommend Little Dolphins Daycare for parents who are looking for fun, Safe and educational daycare for their little loved ones.

Without a doubt, this is one of the best childcare centers I have encountered. Ms. Gloria’s management is truly outstanding, and the teachers demonstrate exceptional compassion, kindness, and a strong sense of responsibility. I am genuinely grateful for the dedication they show towards my twins. I wholeheartedly recommend this center to any parents seeking a nurturing and safe environment for their children.”

My son has been attending for about four months and he has learned so much. Not only did he become more outgoing but also improve his language skills. The teachers are all kind and patient. I’m really glad that I chose Little Dolphines as his first ever daycare experience.

I cannot say enough good things about Little Dolphins. The Owner Gloria helped our family in a time of dire need. Our youngest was unjustly asked to leave his previous daycare with less than 48 hours notice. Gloria reached out to me personally and became my saviour by opening not one, but 2 spots for my two children so they could stay together. I feel so blessed that our children are going to this daycare. The staff are attentive and take very good care of the children. They have structure and routine that helped my children immensely. I would recommend this daycare to anyone who needs it, both my children are thriving thanks to Little Dolphins!

My kid has been in Little Dolphins Daycare for about 2 years, really likes it and has lots of friends. They provide a newsletter, snacks, have school activities (letters, colors, maps, animals, etc.) as well as science experiments, lots of crafts and they enjoy the park/playground as much as they can. They also provide a daily report, the camera is a plus and they celebrate their birthdays as well as special occasions (Easter, Halloween, Holidays). In the summer they have lots of fun activities and enjoy the outdoors. The teachers are amazing, caring, patient and energetic, they really love what they do and the owners have been very flexible with our needs.  I really recommend the daycare.

I had to find a daycare for my daughter when we moved back to the tri-cities and I couldn’t make a trip out to tour any daycares.  My daughter also has a health issue and needs frequent feedings via her g-tube with medication.  I did meet a lot of hesitation from other daycares while trying to find a spot for her.  As soon as I spoke to Gloria it seemed like it would be a non issue and I met no hesitations from her or her staff.  The staff are always so welcoming and friendly.  I like the monthly newsletter that we get so I know what my daughter is up to.  I’ve recommended this daycare to family friends.

My son has been attending this daycare for past 6 months, and he loves his time here.

Teachers are loving and caring to the point my son calls them daycare mommies. So grateful for them!! He enjoys going to the park right across the street and has learned so much in 6 months of a time. He gained confidence and learned to get along with other kids.

I think there’s a nice balance between playing and learning, that my 3 year old is learning abc’s, numbers and many others, while still enjoying his time there.

Facility is relatively new and clean. They provide access to cameras so you can check on your kids anytime.

I’m happy and satisfied sending my child there.

We’ve had our child there for around a year and a half. Little Dolphins has proven to be safe, reliable and enjoyable.  They communicate well with us, have very flexible hours, and a really great staff. The cameras and app are a nice feature.  We feel like we can trust them. Recommended!

My son has been going here for nearly a year. He loves the teachers and has made many great friends  The teachers are great, and they always do lots of great activities.  They also teach them a lot of different things, focusing on different themes, and learning a lot about that thing.  They also try to teach the kids about the home countries of many of the children who were not born in Canada, which is really cool.  It’s definitely not one of those places that just try to keep the kids busy, for the sake of being busy.They take the time to celebrate each child’s birthday. Being right across from the park means they gone to go play there whenever possible.  They’ve also gone on several cool field trips, and would have been more if not for covid. Would definitely recommend.

We had our son at Dolphins Daycare for 1.5years until he started kindergarten. He learned how to make friends here and write his name. He always came home with happy stories to tell about his teachers and friends. They are in a lovely  location across from a big park which they use to play. We may return to Dolphins for after school care If we need it because my son had such experiences there.

My daughter attended Little Dolphins Daycare since last year.

She had many good days and memories there. She learned many things during this time, one of the most important was expressing herself in English and interacting with everybody. It’s a kind and warm environment, very conveniently located with access from the main street, close to parks and malls.

The owners are very reasonable and communicative, they were able to explain and improve on all requests that I had. They did a great job also during the Covid-19 lock-down, for which I’m very grateful.

Definitely recommended.

I’m a mom of a 3 yrs old daughter. Im usually considered a very picky and sensetive mom to my daughter. I was very worried to leave my daughter at any daycare and wated to make sure that I make a right choice whether its nutrition, play area, caring and fair teachers! and for sure this daycare had proved that they are the best at what they do!! very happy with how everything is running! LOVE LOVE the clean area and how they care about kids so much!!!

We are very happy with this daycare! One of the biggest advantages is that healthy and tasty meals are always provided for the children, which gives us peace of mind. Another important point is the stability of the staff – there is no constant change of teachers, so the kids feel secure and comfortable with familiar faces. The atmosphere is warm and caring, and our child goes there with joy. Many thanks to the whole team for their dedication and attention! Thank you Gloria!

My son has attended Little Dolphins for almost 1.5 years. After leaving a different daycare, he was immediately welcomed and came home everyday happy to be there. He feels safe and loved by Ms. Gloria and his other teachers. I like the hours that Little Dolphins is open as it provides more flexibility for us for work. I like that they are preparing my child for Kindergarten (ie: calendar, learning letters, worksheets, circle time, clean up, washing hands, etc). I absolutely love the music program. I like to see the science experiments they are doing and teaching the students how to ask questions and be curious about what they are learning. I feel my child has learned how to treat other students with kindness. He has learned about sharing and not complaining when he doesn’t get what he wants. He tells us that Ms. Gloria says “you get what you get” when he doesn’t get the colour he wants and we love this and use it at home. We are firm believers in the importance of outdoor play and I am happy to see that the students are brought outside for at least 30 minutes a day, even if it is raining. My only concern was how the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative was initially dealt with. However, after voicing my concerns, I was happy to see that it was remedied. I would recommend this daycare to other families.

It’s been a year since our child started with Little Dolphins, and he has grown so much with the love and dedication that the owner and all the staff share. We had previously had a bad experience with another daycare and it had caused behavioural issues with our child; however, within weeks of attending Little Dolphins, he was back to his old self. His emotional regulation and communication has improved, and his sweet nature has come back.
My child has flourished so much under the care he’s receiving. The program at Little Dolphins is so beneficial for children; including outdoor play, music, art, food, and educational activities. I cannot express how relieved we are to have found this centre. My son absolutely loves it here!
