Graydon Hall Child Care Services - North York, Ontario

Hands down the best daycare ever. My daughter started as an infant at 10.5 months old and has been there for 1.5 years. The outdoor play spaces are phenomenal, and the teachers are so loving and caring. The director and associate director really put their heart and soul into this place, and it shows.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Graydon Hall. Our daughter absolutely loves her teacher and classmates, and it's clear to us that this daycare is a wonderful, nurturing environment.

We felt welcomed and reassured when we walked through the doors, knowing our daughter was in good hands. Her teachers at Starfish and Tiger rooms are incredibly caring and attentive, ensuring each child feels included and valued. Since April 2024, our little one has moved to toddler Tiger, and it's heartwarming to see how Miss Gunel and Maryam welcome her with hugs every day. I was initially skeptical about putting my daughter in daycare, and I was, indeed, the mom who cried the first few weeks while dropping off my little one. However, seeing how much our daughter has grown and developed under their guidance has eased my concerns.

The activities and curriculum at Graydon Hall are truly exceptional. Our daughter comes home every day with exciting stories about what she learned and the fun projects she worked on with her friends. The emphasis on both educational and social development is evident, and it's heartwarming to see the strong bonds she has formed with her classmates. At 20 months, she can name most of her classmates. These friendships have not only enriched her social life but also her overall experience at the daycare.

The facility itself is clean, safe, and well-organized, providing a perfect environment for young children to explore and learn. We also appreciate the open communication from the staff, keeping us informed about our daughter's progress and any upcoming events. We love the Lillio Apps they are using, and the daily photo updates are the highlights of our day as working parents.

If there is a downside to mention, it would be that our daughter frequently returns home with stained clothes, which demonstrates her active participation and enjoyment in the activities provided.

We are so grateful to have found such an exceptional daycare for our daughter. Thank you, Graydon Hall, for creating a place where children can thrive, learn, and have fun every day!

Dear Charlene and staff at GHCCS

I wanted to share some life updates! Since "graduating" Graydon Hall the girls have been thriving and excelling! Georgia (graduating class of 2019) has been a top notch student; great in sports, arts and studies. Roza (graduating class of 2022) is a firecracker; sharp, smart and talented in all her extracurriculars. Both kids still talk about their time at GH and (not sure if I should be offended), compare my food to Ms. Melanie's! As much as I want to credit their genetics, I know that the years they spent under the skilled faculty at GH had a major impact on shaping the wonderful girls they are today. They had exposure to such a variety of activities, cultures and education that would make it hard to find any place as unique as GH. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the hard work that you and the faculty do - it's tremendously appreciated and I can assure you that it pays off!

We miss you and look forward to seeing you sometime soon!

We absolutely love this Daycare! My son started as an infant and he has learned so much. He is doing sign language, he is so expressive and so much more! Everyday hes learning something new and wowing us from the activities that they participate in. The staff and site manager are amazing! Baby boy was sick and they handled the situation so well! As a nurse whos baby boy was sick for the first time, they were able to communicate so efficiently and control the situation until I arrived! Baby boy loves all his teachers! Teacher Amna, Renaee, Mariam, Tina, Roja and Janelle you guys are an amazing team. Lastly the facility is clean and organized and very spacious! Great menu for the children!

I have so many good things to say about this daycare! My son was only 1 year old when he started at Graydon Hall and it was the perfect place for him. The staff were absolutely amazing and warm and took such good care of him. I will miss them all dearly. Everyone was so accommodating and always tried to meet his individual needs. He got to experience so many new things and did so many fun projects. I'm so happy I found them and always knew that my child was in the best hands. Thank you Graydon Hall!

My son is currently in attendance here. All of the staff are wonderful and know what they're doing. I would like to draw a special attention to Charlene. She goes above and beyond everyday. If you call the facility, she'll probably be the one that you're speaking with. She is incredibly knowledgeable about everything that goes on in the daycare. Honestly, I could go on all day about how great this place is.

Not only are the people wonderful, but this has helped developed my son's social skills as well as a number of academic skills, which is an odd thing to think about when he is only two years old. Old. But he has picked up on a lot of language and he has learned a lot of very useful skills for a 2-year-old.

As for the accommodations, the location has two playground areas. One is for the younger children and the other one is for the older children. They are very fun. They use the playgrounds to host special outdoor activities and it seems like at least a couple times a month. There is a special guest of some sort or a special activity for the entire daycare.

The children are changed frequently. I never have to worry about that being neglected. The teachers and staff are all conscious of all the children, always. I never worry about my child's safety. They have incredibly good and healthy snacks and lunches. I never have to worry about my child being hungry. I was hesitant at first when it came to the daycare, but my hesitation proved to be unnecessary.

If you are looking for a daycare for your child, in my mind you can't do better than this one.

Our little girl started here around 7 months and has been happy every day. The childcare has a school-like environment, you can tell the kids are excited and happy. Our teachers are fabulous, always smiling, careful and caring. It has been around 4 months now and they feel like a family. Our girl knows when she is going there in the morning and is excited and happy. When I get there to pick her up, she has a big smile. 🙂

My daughter has been going to daycare here since she was 11 months old. It's clean, bright, and school-like, with bustle, activity, and warmth. Her teachers are energetic, creative, and caring - and always take the time to personally share stories about her day. New developments like the app and food menus (with particular attention to allergies!), as well as a very engaged site manager, show how committed they are to providing an excellent program for little ones. The biggest endorsement? My daughter lights up when we arrive each day - because she loves to be there. Thank you, GHCCS!!
