TLC is the best decision we have ever made for our child. My child was in the care of The Little Campus for 3 years, and these were the greatest days of his life. All of the caregivers went above and beyond each day to give him the warmest and most enriching experience. I felt confident dropping him off each morning, knowing he was in good hands. The curriculum at TLC is unmatched - at the end of his time at TLC, he could explain the solar eclipses to me (thanks Ms Julie!), he could sing Beatles and Ramones songs (thanks Mr. Ed!), and he could do summersaults (thanks Ms Grace!). The owner is a former teacher herself, and is genuinely interested in creating a high quality learning environment. From the first-rate facilities, to the professional administration, to the quality programming, TLC is truly a special place.

I have been so thoroughly impressed with the care and attention we were shown by Tami and her team at The Little Campus. They went above and beyond to welcome us into the family and make us feel comfortable and excited about the big daycare step. As first time parents, we were very nervous about daycare but the professionalism and love that has been shown greatly eased our minds. This is poised to be an absolute standout daycare!

The Little Campus is truly changing the childcare game in Etobicoke! From the gorgeous new facility, the incredible team, the experienced Director, and the personal touch of the Founder, there is no detail that has been overlooked. From the get-go, the team at TLC has been incredibly communicative and offered support and resources to parents. The warmth and care is genuine from this amazing facility and they truly care about each and every little one in their care. An amazing, locally-owned small business!

Our family eagerly awaited the opening of TLC for months leading up to their grand opening today. The quality of their teachers is top notch and the care that goes into every little detail is above and beyond anything we've experienced elsewhere. It's such a comfort to my husband and I to know that our son will receive the very best care and learning opportunities at TLC and we look forward to being part of their community for many years to come.

We couldn't have found a better spot for our son. The programming is impressive and engaging, the facility is beautiful with tons of private green space for the kiddos to run around. But what puts it over the top is the people. Not only the teachers (who are so dedicated and engaged), but everyone we've met at TLC has been so encouraging and compassionate to us and our son, which has made such an impact with the transition into daycare, especially considering the complications of covid. Top notch!

We are beyond thrilled with the care at The Little Campus. When I first dropped off my son, I felt like I was pulling up to a summer camp. There were happy, smiling teachers and children outside playing in the large green space, music was playing, streamers flying in the trees. I just had a very good feeling about the place. And I was spot on! The teachers and admin are so loving and caring. I appreciate how much detail they give me at the end of each day. The app the centre uses makes it so easy to see what my son is doing in class and to quickly message with the teachers. My son adjusted to this day care so quickly and is so happy to go to "school" each day which is all a parent could wish for! I can't recommend this place enough.

Our daughter was a part of the first cohort in the toddler class. The first week of transition was tough but the staff rallied to help us feel comfortable, and kept us informed throughout. Now, she loves every minute of being at The Little Campus, and can't wait for the weekend to end so she can be back with her teachers and friends! The activities are educational and thoughtful, and the updates are frequent and make your heart melt. The environment and staff are wonderful. Putting her in The Little Campus was the best choice we made, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

If you're looking for a daycare that treats your child as their own, TLC is the place for you. As a first time parent, it was extremely comforting to see the amount of love, attention and patience they have for kids - no matter the age. I know my child is in an environment where she will thrive and simultaneously get the education she needs for healthy development. Cleanliness, environment friendly toys, creative play, all rounded meals and more! I consider myself lucky to have gotten a spot for my daughter at TLC!

Our daughter was part of the first cohort at The Little Campus and she has just now graduated. The whole experience at TLC has been fantastic; this daycare is truly on another level. Tami, the owner, is clearly passionate about what she does and has put together a fantastic facility and team. Everyone, teachers and support staff, at TLC is kind, thoughtful and caring. Our daughter loves her teachers, the activities, the music programming, the food and the outdoor space. Everyone is going to be missed by our family. We recommend TLC without reservation.

This is the smartest and best investment in your child. When first looking for a daycare spot for our son, we felt unsure about waiting for a spot where the fees were lower and also whether the fees for daycare were value for the money spent and the responses from most of our local centres made me feel like we were auditioning. From the outset, Tami made us feel like a valued customer and part of The Little Campus family. The curriculum is perfectly age appropriate and engaging, the kind you wish you could have had as a kid. And we were jealous of the snacks and lunches working at home and seeing the menus everyday. We received continual updates and communication from the staff who are THE BEST. Our son would say all weekend that he missed his friends, teachers and school all weekend and sometimes would ask to go back to school after dinner. The additional feature of the centre that made me feel even more confident is the playground is completely secure with a large fence and it took any concerns for safety away. The final top of the heap item was how the staff supported us with having our son toilet trained. Within three months we went from diapers to pull-ups and then to underwear within two months after 6 months on our own with little success. If you are weighing the advantages of a couple schools or wondering if you want the additional expense, DO IT. Go with TLC and give yourself some peace of mind.

I wish I had switched my child here sooner. She was at another daycare, which was terrible! What a difference here. Wonderful teachers; so very caring, attentive, responsive, and always ensuring they are communicating to me about my daughter, any restrictions I might have for her, and her general wellbeing. The owner, Tami, is a kind, caring, and compassionate woman who genuinely cares about the children and the environment. She even tested the facility for radon, which came back very low. This place is top notch for safety and quality. The environment is fresh and new. The building was renovated from top to bottom, with new, state of the art equipment and materials, air filters, etc. They even offer reverse osmosis filtered water to the children. That's what I'm talking about! Activities are thoroughly thought out for the children to enrich their experience and learning capabilities. Lots of quality indoor and outdoor time for the children. The location is great, in a lovely neighbourhood where the kids even have the opportunity to visit the local fire station and fruit and veggie market close by! My daughter was crying every time she went to her old daycare. Now, she asks me when she's going to "school" and is actually happy and excited. The only thing I would change is the food catering service. I'm personally not a fan of Real Food for Real Kids, but many daycares use them, so there you have it. Little Campus is wonderful. Love it!

We truly enjoyed our time here. We enrolled our daughter thought we would be here for the long haul, but with my wife still working remotely, it just didn't make sense for us to stay as we live 1.5hrs from the campus one way. We happen to come at a hectic time, starting in December 2021 and ending in February 2022. The staff are fantastic, always smiling and optimistic. They made us feel welcome right from the very start. We were always in the loop of what was going on in the school. Things weren't always perfect, nothing is ever perfect, but we appreciated the honesty and the prompt response to our concerns. The school is kept very clean. Our daughter was always engaged. The teachers always had great daily activities for her. The school always followed covid protocols. We always felt confident that her teachers would keep our daughter safe. We were sad to go but glad we got to experience the little campus, even if it was a short time. If you contemplate bringing your child here, I am positive TLC will not disappoint you. I know all the teachers and management are excellent, but I want to emphasize our appreciation to Ms. Ashley, Ms. Luz, Ms. Parmjit and Ms. Monica. We are forever grateful. Your kindness and impact on Luna's growth not only as a student but as a human navigating her way through this crazy world will never be forgotten. We hope to meet again in the future. Thank you also to Ms. Jessica for loving Luna like your own student. Lastly, thank you to all the teachers who took the time to meet our daughter during the short time she was there. All the cuddles and kisses that you thought no one was watching, but we were. We will cherish those moments forever - all the best to the TLC family. P.s thank you, Chinara, for being persistent in building your relationship with Luna; one day, I will remind her you guys were best friends at one point in time, lol. -The Ocampo's

Our son was in the preschool room for a year and a half before heading off to junior kindergarten this past September. I can't say enough good things about TLC! It's not your typical daycare, there is a full-on curriculum with programming for literacy, numeracy, music, movement, social-emotional skill-building, yoga, art, all grounded in play and fun. The facilities are beautiful inside and out, the outdoor space is unmatched and they work it into the curriculum in clever ways. As parents, we appreciated the regular communication and updates, we felt very connected with everything going on and it felt very safe, secure, and clean. And the very best part is the staff - an incredibly kind and compassionate group, who clearly love children and make it a magical experience for the little ones. Our little guy loved all the staff members, they got to know him as an individual and would bring out the best in him with experiences and activities that met him where he was. It's not the cheapest daycare option, but watching our little guy thrive definitely made it worth it - he still asks when he can go back to visit, and we continue to get together with friends from his TLC class because the kids formed such great bonds! If you're at all considering TLC, I highly recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed!

This daycare is just magical! I have two littles who adore their teachers, the front reception staff, the classroom and outside setups, and especially the music program. The high level of communication has made it so easy for me to keep tabs on how the kids are doing while having zero worries. The staff are all so lovely, the programming is diverse, and the food they serve is top notch. I'm so glad TLC opened in our neighbourhood and would highly recommend to any parent :)

We had watched TLC in the early days since they were beginning construction and couldn't wait for our daughter to begin there as a student. TLC approaches care using the whole brain child method and this resonated with us entirely as it allows children the opportunity to explore the world around them through observational learning and play, recognizing all feelings, and promoting curiosity. Our daughter has been there since January and is THRIVING. The connection we see from her teachers is incredible. She used to cry every day going to our last daycare and now she asks to go to school on weekends. As a parent, I feel very involved and connected to the community. This is promoted by allowing parents to come right to the cubby and into the classroom for drop off, parent activities like Mother's/Father's Day celebrations, Summer BBQs, and more. Recognizing that childcare can be costly, TLC truly provides value to kids and their families by having the top individuals on staff who are compensated fairly and given the right time to plan and rest. We have witnessed immediately the positive impact on our children as the teachers are always thriving and not just surviving allowing for better impact and personalized care for the littles. We love TLC and couldn't imagine having our daughter anywhere else. Great work Tami and great work to everyone at The Little Campus!!!

I can't express how grateful we are for "The Little Campus". It's been a blessing for my daughter, who has flourished there. The educators are superheroes- warm, compassionate, and dedicated to creating a nurturing environment. The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between structured learning and play, and my daughter's confidence has soared as a result of their guidance. The administrators are excellent communicators, and the facility is safe, beautiful, colourful and super clean. Above all, there's an undeniable love and care in every corner of "TLC." If you want your child to thrive in an amazing community, this is the place to be. We love TLC forever!

Our journey with The Little Campus was truly exceptional! From 8 to 21 months, our son thrived in their nurturing care, attending both the infant and toddler classes. The teachers are all so loving and kind, creating such a warm and supportive environment for all the little ones. The campus is absolutely beautiful especially the huge outdoor space and TLC had great programs such as music, STEAM and cultural celebrations. Our son learned a lot from his time at TLC and most importantly he had fun every day coming home with big smiles on his face. We only wish we could've stayed longer with TLC. Highly recommended!

Our little human graduated from The Little Campus this week and we are absolutely heartbroken to be leaving this wonderful place. Our child has had the most incredible 3 years at this centre and we are so grateful we had the opportunity to have such a phenomenal start to our child's educational journey. I don't even know where to begin to describe how magical this place is; from the amazing music program (yes, they came home singing the Beatles routinely!) to the STEAM program (their enthusiasm for science experiments grew constantly), our child came home happy and content at the end of every day. But the absolute best part? The staff and educators. They always went above and beyond to make the children feel safe, loved, and cared for. Everyday our baby would walk in and everyone would greet us with smiles and by name! TLC has been a gem of a place <3 It's been a blast! Thank you The Little Campus for everything! We will miss you all so much!

If you are thinking of sending your little one to TLC don't think twice! We were fortunate enough to send our two youngest children to The Little Campus and can without a doubt say it was the best decision we could have made for their care. The facilities are stunning, they are constantly keeping them up and making improvements to allow for the best experience for your child. The programming, toys and activities are always well thought through and in excellent condition. They have the best theme weeks throughout the year and everyone gets into it. There are no words to express how AMAZING their staff are! In all our time at TLC I have never met an unhappy staff member, or a staff member who raised their voice. Everyone always greets you with a smile and they take the time to not only get to know your child but also you as a caregiver. A little bit about our situation. When we moved to TLC, our son was in a bad spot coming from his previous daycare (extremely anxious, stressed, and unsupported). To say it was heartbreaking as a parent would be an understatement. We noticed once we joined TLC how settled he became and he was able to truly shine. Every staff member took the time to get to know him and went out of their way to make him feel special. From answering his many many questions to including him in what they were doing - in his world he felt like one of the TLC staff. We are forever grateful to his teachers and all the TLC specialists, it's very hard to put into words their immense impact. We can honestly say that they helped change his course, brought out his confidence, appreciated his sense of humour and wonder. Our youngest has started her journey at TLC and we couldn't be more thrilled for what lies ahead for her, we know she is in the best hands possible and will have the most amazing time. This very long note is to simply say TLC is such a special place with the best staff (not just the teachers - every single one of them from the kitchen and support staff, to the float staff, to the program directors, and the owners) and you would be giving your child the most amazing gift by sending them to TLC.

I cannot begin to describe our overwhelmingly positive experience with The Little Campus. We had to move away from Toronto and we miss this little school very much. The center's commitment to inclusivity is evident in their diverse and welcoming environment, ensuring that every child feels valued and celebrated for their unique qualities. The accommodations are exemplary, with well-designed facilities that prioritize safety and comfort. The dedicated staff goes above and beyond to create a nurturing atmosphere, making both children and parents feel at ease. What sets this daycare apart is its commitment to advanced teaching practices, employing innovative methods to engage young minds in STEM, music and art. My child's growth and development have been remarkable, thanks to the dedicated educators who seamlessly integrate play and education. I never had the pleasure of meeting Tami, but her love and hard work in creating The Little Campus really exceeds all expectations in providing a holistic educational experience and I wholeheartedly recommend this center to parents seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their children. I know it's expensive - but it is well worth every penny.

We have had a wonderful experience with The Little Campus Daycare, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for their child. The staff at The Little Campus are incredibly friendly and attentive. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine interest in our child's well-being. I especially has a good experience dealing with Rebecca, Director of Operation, who answered all my questionss. One of the standout features of The Little Campus is its pristine condition. The facility is new and impeccably clean, which immediately put our minds at ease. The environment is not only hygienic but also very inviting, with bright, airy spaces that make it a pleasant place for children to spend their days. The daycare offers a fantastic array of programs designed to foster learning and development. Their curriculum is well thought out, providing a balanced mix of educational and recreational activities. Whether it's structured learning time, creative arts, or physical play, there is always something engaging for the children to do. The large facility accommodates various activities, ensuring that kids have plenty of space to explore and play.

Our son has been attending TLC for 1.5 years and our experience to date has been exceptional. TLC is much more than a daycare; it's a place where children are truly nurtured and inspired to learn. The program is well-rounded, incorporating activities that foster both educational growth and creative expression. The balance between structured learning and play is perfect, ensuring the children are engaged and happy. The facilities are top-notch, with inviting indoor classrooms and a thoughtfully designed outdoor area that's used to enrich the learning experience. We always feel confident in the safety and cleanliness of the environment, which is a big priority for us as parents. One of the standout aspects of TLC is the amazing staff. The team is incredibly dedicated, caring, and attentive to the needs of each child. They make our son feel special every day and are supporting his development in a way that is truly making a difference. The communication with parents is excellent as well, and we are regularly updated on our son's progress and daily activities. I highly recommend TLC to any parent looking for a nurturing, stimulating, and safe environment for their child.

The Little Campus is the best daycare we could have sent our son to. There's nowhere like it. I'll quickly list the things I love about it: Cameras - being able to check in and see how my child is doing any time of day was very important to me. Staff - they all have their unique strengths but the one solid trait they all have in common is their love for children. Across the board everyone treats the children with great care. Level of service - it's a truly unique place where every concern is addressed. Your child is on a different schedule than the rest of the kids? No problem. Special diet, done. Child having trouble adjusting? Meetings are had and strategies offered. I just truly love this place so much. P.s did I mention the food is non-processed and nutritious? They have specialized teachers with a professional musician, a STEM teacher etc. My son blossomed into such a confident and smart child thanks to this center. I cannot recommend it enough.

Sending our son to TLC was one of the best decisions we made to support his early development. We were so impressed by the expansive outdoor space; STEM, phys ed and music lessons; high-quality food and modern, spotless classrooms. But it's the staff that really sets this place apart. Our son had many of the same teachers for years, and they treated him like family. We also received incredibly prompt and transparent communication from administrators, including the owner, whenever we reached out. Don't hesitate to check it out if you're looking for a truly warm, well-rounded daycare option for your child. We'll miss you TLC :)

Soo grateful for the amazing energy at The Little Campus. I feel like TLC is what you envision when you think of a place you would be happy to have your child spend time at. From the warm greeting you get from whosever out front, whether it be their program director Rhiannon or Olivia the community director, who are just two of the manyyy staff aside from your child's actual teachers who will contribute to your child's day being awesome. (And therefore your own day as well!) To the environment that is both CLEAN and inviting. Its always filled with amazing activities and artwork and more that line the hallways and classrooms with love. To the genuine care you will feel from your child's teachers - in our case Kaityln Lynette and Christine. Not to mention the amazing communication they provide by being reachable at all times through not only the phone but by being able to message on their app and never being made to feel like you're being a bother. The one time I had a concern I didn't even need to say anything. One of the teachers sensed I wasn't myself and reached out to me to make sure everything was okay and whether there was anything they could do. I don't know of any other place that has the care and attention to detail that Little Campus does. Lastly the programming is amazing. They fill the children's days with amazing experiences from sensory and STEM to music and art. I don't take writing this review lightly and I wouldn't spend the time if I hadn't had such a great experience with the staff and community at The Little Campus.

From the very first tour, we knew we had found something truly special in TLC. The atmosphere was warm, respectful, and filled with genuine care—a place where children are celebrated for who they are and supported in every aspect of their growth. It felt more like a second home than a daycare, a true community where every child is seen, heard, and valued. Over the past year, our child has flourished in ways we could never have imagined. Each day begins with eager anticipation and ends with stories of laughter, learning, and new discoveries. Whether it's singing songs, navigating obstacle courses, exploring science and early literacy, or sharing thoughtful observations, we are constantly amazed by the development and confidence we've witnessed. TLC creates opportunities for connection and celebration that make families feel welcome and involved. Events like seasonal festivities, parent appreciation days, and school-wide activities have not only brought us joy but have also strengthened our sense of belonging in the community. What truly sets TLC apart is the incredible team behind it. Every educator, specialist, and staff member contributes to an environment of compassion, intentionality, and excellence. From thoughtful classroom support to engaging enrichment programs and the attention given to meals, cleanliness, and safety—every detail reflects a deep commitment to the well-being and growth of each child. Choosing an early childhood education setting is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we are so grateful we chose TLC. It has made a lasting impact on our child's development and on our family as a whole.

Where do I start. Our son has been a student at The Little Campus since January of 2023 and we are so lucky. His enjoyment across every area of life has been exceptional. The education staff is unmatched and the founder is absolutely committed to every student. But most importantly, we feel safe, confident, and thrilled to send him there every morning. I couldn't imagine my son going anywhere else and I'm forever begging them to open a school! Thank you TLC for giving my son the most important start to life.
