Here is a collection of quotations we received in the parent evaluation, completed in the spring. We hear similar comments, year after year, generation after generation.  

"Our children have been challenged, comforted and well supported throughout their years at Emmanuel. There is no where else we would want them to be (and spend their first most important years!)"

"The *most* valuable aspect is the skill, experience and overall expertise of the teachers, involving children with special or extra needs"

"We feel very fortunate to have been able to be a part of the Emmanuel at Brighton Child Care Centre—it doesn't get any better than this for quality early learning and care in Waterloo Region or the Province!!! Thank you!"

"I particularly like the fact that the KinderCubs read the newspaper and discuss current events. I think that this activity will have great positive impacts long into the future in terms of literacy and quest for knowledge/imagination."

"The personal attention to each child, the welcome (warm) in the morning, the openness to giving special caring and extra attention when needed with the kids, and the ability of the teachers to share their knowledge and help the kids learn --- I wish there was more space"

"What is most valuable to us is knowing that our child is in a loving and caring environment. Our children have really enjoyed their stay at daycare because of the positive environment."

"Staff are wonderful. Sincere interest in the children. Never worry when I leave my child for the day that they aren't receiving the best care possible. Stimulating programs, good meals and snacks. Child-to-child
interaction."

"Academic preparation—foundations being built and interaction with different cultural experiences (including language)"

"Structure in the content of warmth and acceptance, experience, maturity and skill of staff and great emotional, cognitive, and physical programming."

"The balance of structured learning and freeplay, the opportunity for socialization, and the many different methods used in learning."

"Keep up the fantastic work! We value your service immensely."
