Initially, our child was quite scared of attending EYES Childcare Montessori in Whitby. Unlike our older children, he struggled with separation anxiety, and with my return to work during the peak of the pandemic, we spent a lot of time together at home before deciding to enroll him.
From the very beginning, our son received a warm and nurturing welcome. The caregivers at the centre provided him with the affection and comfort he needed to ease his separation anxiety. It was reassuring to know that he was receiving the same level of care and love he had at home. While it took some time for our child to fully transition and overcome his separation anxiety, he eventually did. However, he still had the occasional challenging morning during drop-offs. In all instances, every caregiver showed incredible patience and understanding towards him. It was repeatedly witnessed how each caregiver wholeheartedly embraced and nurtured the unique nature of our child, and other children, creating a strong sense of belonging for everyone. The thoughtfulness embedded in their programming and their overall approach is truly remarkable, as others have also attested in the reviews noted on Google. Reflecting on our child’s time in Miss Ramsha, Miss Sharon and Miss Iram’s classroom, I can’t help but feel emotional. Our son will be starting school in September and this transition to a new stage of his life is bittersweet. His teachers served as role modes and guides and have been so very influential in shaping our son into a confident child who is ready to embrace JK.
