Don't ever put your kids there !!!
If I could give 0 starts I would !!!!!
Stuff is not professional and environment is not safe . I found the kids playing with SHARP scissors (not the safety kids one) I told one of the teachers she said they are old enough to play with them !! I made her put out them away as it is not safe.
Manager and "supervisor" are not friendly and not inviting .
There is not enough toys for the kids to play with and they are fighting over the toys . No one is adult watching over the kids.
I don't think they should be open at all.
I the daycare over the phone and on the documents we filled about my kids diet . We arrived the first day and my kid had nothing to eat and no one knew about it !!!
Irresponsible people
This place should get closed immediately

Among Friends Day Care Centre
It is the philosophy of Among Friends Child Care Centre that school-aged child care should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration, and discovery. School-aged children are creative and receptive and our staff strives to nurture and encourage these qualities in the children who attend our programs. Our purpose is to provide an atmosphere that encourages social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth and development of the child as a whole.
Being in operation for over 35 years, Among Friends strives to provide quality, licensed Before and After School Programs and Summer Camps to the community at large.
All of our programs are based in York Region in Public and Separate Schools throughout.
With strong relationships with the community, schools and school boards, we pride ourselves on the commitment to children and families within the community. With over 30 locations and growing, we hope to continue to offer quality care to children and families who use our services.
