Our experience at this daycare was extremely disappointing, especially as this was our first experience with childcare outside the home.From the beginning, management created a misleading first impression. During our tour, we were told we were “lucky” they happened to have one spot available. Since then, I’ve spoken with several other parents who were told the exact same thing, which felt disingenuous.Unfortunately, once our child started, we quickly began noticing concerns. The activities were repetitive and lacked creativity or developmental value. For three months, our child came home with essentially the same craft on repeat. There was no evidence of meaningful learning or growth.More concerning was the impact on our child’s well-being. During his time there, his behavior changed significantly. He began experiencing night wakings, increased tantrums, and trauma-like behaviors that were very out of character. We were repeatedly assured this was “normal.” It wasn’t until we removed him and enrolled him in another daycare that we realized the behaviors stopped — it was not our child, it was the environment.We also personally witnessed an educator standing over our non-verbal toddler and yelling, “What do you want?” That is not an appropriate or supportive way to speak to a child who cannot communicate verbally.It became increasingly clear that cost-cutting was prioritized over quality care. The food quality was poor, and our child came home hungry every single day. Overall standards around care and hygiene reflected penny-pinching rather than child-centered values.Management appeared disconnected from the realities of caring for small children. Staff members confided in us about their dissatisfaction with management and how poorly the centre was run. Unfortunately, that frustration showed in the level of care provided to the children. The turnover in staff says it all.After months of attendance, it was obvious that the caregivers did not truly know our child — his needs, personality, or routines. He often was dismissed rather than understood.Ultimately, we made the difficult decision to withdraw him after being professionally advised to do so due to concerns about staff handling and the overall environment.We cannot recommend this centre based on our experience and highly recommend you do your diligence in seeking options before settling for this one.In response to Little Einstein’s comment:The only proof showing how much “the team” worked with my child was a progress report proving they knew nothing about him. It stated that he did not communicate non verbally- when he is only non verbal. What does that tell you?!My concerns are about the actual impact on my child, not intentions. During their time at your center, we observed significant changes in behavior, including [coming home hungry every day / tantrums / night wakings / etc.]. These are real experiences, and they should not be dismissed. As they always have been, and continue to be.I also agree with other recent reviews that Kila, along with the rest of management, consistently gaslights every concern raised. This completely ignores the fact that my child was treated poorly and that there is an alleged abuse and neglect complaint against the centre. Excuses and generalized statements cannot replace accountability for harm caused.
