Hopscotch Early Learning & Child Care

As a Pediatrician and mom of children at Hopscotch, I can’t begin to tell you how extraordinary this centre is. Owners Linzi and Tyler and directors Dallas and Tamara (Tam) have created the warmest, most welcoming home away from home. We were sold on Hopscotch the day Tam showed us around and described how meaningful her experience caring for children has been, maintaining a close bond with kids even years after caring for them. Her bubbly enthusiasm was infectious, and it was obvious how passionate this team was about Early Childhood Education. Not only are all kids (and their parents!) known by their first names, no matter what classroom they are in, they feel included and loved. Regular communication from Dallas and Tyler is outstanding. The teachers (who never leave!!) are friendly, experienced and have become an integral part of our kids’ development. The curriculum (yes! In a daycare!) is fun, challenging and out-of-this-world creative (picture holding a real-life turtle on reptile day, chatting with a firefighter for public service week and digging for “fossils” during dinosaur days!). I’m actually relieved my youngest is slightly too young for kindergarten this September; as it means another year in this amazing daycare.

When I was searching for a daycare for my little one, Hopscotch was just opening its doors. I walked in and fell in love with how clean, bright and inviting this place really is. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and management. They have treated my little one with the utmost respect and I know, I have made the best decision for my child. They have an app that let's you know how your child is doing throughout the day and what they have been doing (they also include lots of pictures). The amount of information the staff are teaching my little one right now blows my mind. It's also nice that we can discuss at the dinner table, what they have learnt that day just by looking at the app.Speaking of food, my child eats better then I do at daycare. All the food is made from scratch and by a wonderful and amazing in-house cook and her sidekicks.Now, three and a bit years later, I cannot wait for my second child to attend Hopscotch. Thanks for giving my child a head start in life.
