North Bay Day Care Centre

North Bay Daycare and Learning Centres has always gone above and beyond for our children. Day-to-day care includes a very caring and safe atmosphere, where they make outdoor time and learning time a priority for all ages. The meals are great and always offer a variety of healthy options. Communication through the daycares app is impeccable. I can say that this centre has blown my husband and I away compared to the home daycare and centre we attempted to place my son at in Astorville. Some days the home daycare wouldn't even bring my son outside, whereas the centre in Astorville was very poorly run and my son was very clearly being neglected. We have chosen to return to North Bay Daycare Centre in North Bay, rather than to send our son to the centre at his future school, because we knew they would be prioritizing his needs, safety, wellbeing, happiness, etc. here. Even through COVID, working from home full-time, and needing to make TWO trips to town rather than one, we chose North Bay Daycare without hesitation! My kids run in so happily every day, and that in itself should tell you everything you need to know.

I registered my son at the main site when he was almost 2 years old. The staff was amazing with him and took the time to show him how to do things as he was behind. He stayed at the main site until he started school then he moved over to the school aged site. My daughter started at the main site when she was around 16 months old. My daughter is still at the main site doing her jk year. The staff at both sites are amazing and are able to talk with you with no issues. My son has autism and my daughter has global development delay and all the staff who have been with my children have taken the time to make sure that my children understand in the task at hand. Jannah has been amazing in answering any questions I have had. I would highly recommend this daycare:)

Everybody is really nice there. A good place to go if you need to drop off your child

I have been using the North Bay Daycare for several years. My son who is now 17 had attended both Main site and School age programs. The staff were always very attentive and kind. They worked with him and were always so positive and open minded. They are very encouraging and paid close attention to his needs to achieve ultimate success. He still has fond memories of attending the North Bay Daycare and remembers all the fun they had and the cool stuff they were always learning.My daughter is 8 and has attended the Main Site and now she attends the School Age program. She absolutely loves her teachers. They are always doing some fun and educational activity and the kids just love it ! I notice all the teachers putting in the extra effort to make sure the kids are having a positive, fun, and educational time. When issues would arise ( let's be honest we are dealing with kids here, of course there will be some sort of issue at some point ) the staff were always very professional, open minded and willing to listen to come to a solution that works for everyone. Jannah is very professional and great at her job. You can tell she genuinely cares about each and every child that comes into the center and ensures the best care and programming possible for children. I would highly recommend this Child Care Centre .

Never answers the phone, the one time they finally picked up the phone no one said anything on the other line and hung up. The voicemail is full so you cannot even leave a message.

From what I've read and experience Is not professional or organized. I was told on Friday they had a spot for me. The policy is you must pay up front monthly in full. Over the weekend I scrambled to get the financials together as I was to call back on the Monday. After a stressful weekend when I called on the Monday I was told there wasn't a spot. That in fact someone had said they were leaving but then changed their mind. I was told that I would be called on the Tuesday to confirm and I never Received the call back. While on the phone speaking with the lady you could hear the impatientness and stress in her voice. They clearly Have no clue what's going on have no patience Not a place I would bring my child or recommend whatsoever however horrible business. If you can't properly deal with adults or business how can I trust you to deal with my child?

North Bay Daycare Centre and Learning Centres are recognized by The Ministry of Education and our local Dnssab as being one of the highest quality childcare programs in the city.

I absolutely adore the North Bay Daycare Centre. I drop both my toddler and school-aged child off each day with complete confidence that they are safe, well-fed and taken care of! The communication is impeccable, as I am updated throughout the day on everything from what’s on the menu and fun activities, to diaper changes and nap duration. I honestly cannot rave about this place enough. As long as we require daycare - the North Bay Daycare Centre will be our home. I highly recommend!

This daycare is not equipped with either staff or procedures to care for mentally disabled kids. They have no patience and can not seem to find handbooks that we’re given to them to help care for a child with autism. THEY GIVE UP WAY TOO EASILY
