Davies Daycare

Absolutely love Diana! I swear my 3 year old had more fun here than at home! The love she has for these kids is unbelievable. My daughter is always ecstatic when we round the corner to her «school». I never have to worry about her while she’s in her care. My daughter never stops ranting about how much fun she had and about all they did that day! She loves their walks to the park and other outings they might go on. I can honestly say out of all the hold care facilities we’ve tried out this is by far the best one! It’s always a good feeling knowing your child is in the care of someone who actually loves them! I would highly recommend sending your child here!!!

I have been bringing my daughter to Davies Daycare since she was 1.5 and she will be turning 3 very soon. She absolutely loves going here and all the activities. Diana takes them on daily walks, picnics or has them playing outdoors. She also bakes, arts and crafts and many more educatonal learning games. Since going to Davies Daycare, my daughter has learned manners and is progressively learning new things everyday.

I have worked at a few different daycares, all different in their own ways. Davies Daycare is a very active daycare. While I was there, we did different a lot of different things. We would go on walks daily and go to the park, during the summer the kids would play under the hose, while inside we would do arts & crafts. Davies Daycare mainly has 1 – 3 year olds so it is a GREAT place for toddlers. The Daycare is made up of 3 conjoined rooms so there is lots of room to play! We had a basic daily schedule of breakfast in the morning, whatever adventure we choose to go on (ie. walk, park, or play), lunch at 12:00 — 12:30, we take naps/​watch a movie/​quiet time from 1 – 3, and than they wake up we have a late drink & snack, then they play until their parents come at 5:30.

Let me start by saying if there were 10 stars to offer, I would give them to Diana and her daughter!
A bit of history… my son has attended four different «franchised» daycares in his lifetime — he started at 4 months old and is going to be 3 soon. At one of these franchises, he got the best care in the infant room. Once he turned 1, it was a nightmare. (He was bitten, and he was sick literally every other week — and we got every cold and virus too. He contracted hand-​foot-​mouth three times — and we also got this as adults twice. We were miserable and I can’t tell you how much time we both missed from work.) We had to break the cycle. Enough was enough. We had to find another solution. We both have to work so having one of stay home with our son is not an option.
Since we found Diana and her daugther (they are a team) our lives are so much better and we are at peace. It took our son about a week or two to transition but for the first time in his life, he is excited to leave the house in the morning! All through out the transition we received phone calls, text messages, photos to reassure us that our son was having a great time. It helped us through the transition and we were able to focus on work.
Diana has the BIGGEST HEART and she truly cares about the kids. The kids adore her. She is a real person and she totally gets it – and why wouldn’t she… she has been doing this for 20+ years.
For anyone who has any «hesitation» about a home-​care environment vs. a franchise (I know we originally did), I can tell you that this lady is exceptional. She and her daughter are truly a blessing and I can’t imagine having our son placed anywhere else.
I’m am truly amazed that when I bring my son every morning… the kids are happy, and playing, and mellow, and polite, and there is just a sense of peace that I have not seen anywhere else. Obviously, Diana and her daughter have a gift with these children.
If you are lucky enough to get a spot in this daycare, you won’t regret it. I’m not being paid to write this review. I get nothing out of it but «paying back or paying forward» for what I can’t put a price tag on. HAPPINESS.
When we were searching for childcare, the first place we went to is the internet to search for reviews.
This is the most loving environment and we are so thankful for finding Davies Daycare.

This is the first daycare my son has ever attended. Diana, is the owner/​operator and she’s very sweet and is great with the kids.
Diana had a lot of patience with helping my lil’ man transition to his new routine. She’s very good with the kids; she provides healthy snacks, treats and meals and plenty of iced water throughout the day! I also love the fact that she takes them out on excursions and daily trips to the park, lake, and book store.
It eases my worries about having to leave my child at a daycare, knowing how much fun he has there (with his buddies) and how well she takes care of the kids!
