What People are Saying

Choosing Jason and Shoshanna for our childcare was such an easy decision for us! From the moment we met them, we felt welcomed into their home. We have been a part of their family for 3 years and have loved every moment of it! The transition for my children (and myself) was seamless. From day one our children looked forward to going to daycare and finding out what crafts they would get to create that day. With a childcare background, they also offered an educational element to their program. By the age of three, my daughter could write her name and count to 10! The learning that happens throughout the day is evident by the stories our children share with us. The relationship our family has built with the Amato family has been wonderful. We are so thankful to be part of such an incredible family! We would highly recommend their daycare to everyone!

Thank-you so much for going above and beyond!

I would highly recommend the Amato's. We met them through friends when we needed daycare quickly. They invited us into their home on their day off, they answered any questions we had, and offered up ones we didn't think of ourselves. They have been extremely professional in the programs they run, the pedagogy they use, the age appropriate learning and the manners they impart. More then that they are warm, loving and they have created a community for the young ones in their care. Their choices are thoughtful and planned but always keep the best interest of the kids in mind-providing enough of a safety net and push to let each child shine. We have never had a second thought about our choice to have our son attend their daycare. I brag about how well they feed and love him. His safety, physical and emotional health, nutrition and learning have always been a priority. Their communication between daycare and parent is top notch-whether communicating upcoming themes, events, scrapes or time outs, they let you know in a timely reliable fashion. In short, we trust them. They are dependable, loving and sincere-an unparalleled duo! Our family will truly miss them as they embark on a new chapter. Whomever has the pleasure of knowing or hiring them is very fortunate.

We are a family of 5 and we were so lucky to find such a caring, devoted, loving family to care for our children. They are amazing at what they do. Their first priority are the children's well being. They put a lot of creativity into their program and love what they do! It's a great feeling to be able to leave your child and know they are going to be just fine. I love the communication they have with us if we have any concerns. I give them 5 stars! Thankyou Amato's for everything you have done for our family! My kids absolutely love you and it's peace of mind knowing they are safe and having fun!

The Amato's are incredible. Over the past 2.5 years that our two children have been in their care, they have become like family to us. We consider them to be our partners in this wild ride and a key part of our village. It is so comforting to be 100% confident that the kids are being cared for and truly loved as individuals in a fun, family environment. It's clear from the creative activities and lessons that early learning is Shoshanna's true calling. We will always miss the Amato's and the special group of friends they created.

-Dave and Krista

I was one of the fortunate parents who enrolled my son from the time you moved to BC until kindergarten. A lot of parents here will miss out on the best values you instilled in my son. You have truly been his second home and family. You have helped nurture him into a young man and I truly appreciate it. I get compliments on his manners all the time and I know that would not be possible without your guidance. Thankyou for being amazing role-models for my son!

-Thembi

Thank-you for putting so much into the curriculum! He is learning so much. You are doing an awesome job! Thank-you!

-Christina

I can't believe a year has come and gone already! Leaving a little one (As I'm sure you know) as a first time parent is not an easy task! You do the research, pick a place, and then take a leap of faith that they will love your child, find patience for them when they are challenging, and teach them through play and creativity. We were so lucky because there wasn't a second that we felt we made the wrong choice. Their down to earth nature and beautiful family, coupled with the joy they brought to our little girl made it one of the easier decisions we've made. Every morning she waits at the stairs trying to get her shoes on so she can go to daycare and see the 'Shanna, Jay' and her buddies. When we pick her up she is full of stories (some of which we can now understand), about the magic of her day. We get praise and compliments about her all the time, but the truth is, so much of who she has become is because of you! So what we are trying to say in a long roundabout way, is thank-you, from the bottom of our hearts, for the love you have shown our daughter, and for the monumental role you have played in her life! So much love to your family on your big adventure!

-Zoe and Jeremy

You have no idea how much I appreciate all you do for our daughter and what good care you give to her! You are amazing at what you do-I still can't believe how you keep everything so organized, your house so spotless, and everything on schedule, its truly impressive! We feel very fortunate that our daughter is in your care, and you have helped make my transition back to work an enjoyable one! I never worry about her as I know she is capable, good hands. She loves it there, and all the kids! Sometimes I question if she likes it better there than at home!

-Shawna

My whole family and I love them and also being able to have such a fun loving place to send our miss! It is such a blessing to know she is in good hands and to never have to worry about how her day is!

-Sarah

They were the best thing for our almost three year old son! He has made wonderful friends and couldn't be happier. Our son has advanced so much! I love how Shoshanna teaches the children, taking particular approach with each child to best accommodate their learning curve. I felt that our son was always a part of their home, not just a part of their job.

-Emily

My son went to their daycare when we lived close. I absolutely loved them and their daycare. I was extremely hesitant to send my son to any daycare because I couldn't find one that I liked! I am in the health and wellness field and I didn't agree with many of the nutritional choices or cleanliness of any of the daycares... until them. Shoshanna is extremely caring and gentle, and I couldn't day enough about what a great caregiver she was for my son! He still talks about her family and we try and visit every time we are in town. I highly recommend their daycare!

-Nick and Nicole

I want to say how happy we are with the care you provide. I was discussing with a friend. She wasn't looking for private home childcare until I told her about you and everything that takes place in your home. She is now in search to find someone like you! Thank-you for all you do!

-Heather

We want you to know just how much we loved having our son with you. You are so amazing and have been like a second mother to him. You are such an awesome teacher and so kind. He has learned beyond what I could ever expect academically, but also just how to be a good human. Your daycare really is the best! Thankyou for everything you have done for him! He is growing into a sweet, caring, and confident young boy and that's largely owed to you. You are a very special person that we are so fortunate to have in our lives.
