“My daughter has been going to Nafisa for 10 months now, and she absolutely loves it. It truly feels like a second home for her. … It gives me total peace of mind while I’m at work knowing she’s in such good hands.”
“From the very first day, she made our family feel welcome and our child feel safe. … I also appreciate how communicative she is, sending pictures and daily summaries that let us know exactly how our child is doing.”
“As first-time parents, we were very anxious about sending our daughter to daycare, but Misbah quickly put all our worries to rest.”
What is licensed home child care?
Licensed home child care allows children to receive care in a provider's home under the oversight of a licensed agency. Bright Minds Care approves and monitors home child care providers in accordance with Ontario's licensing requirements.
