kind words from our parents

Parent

This is an absolutely fantastic centre. I have been to two other places and I am just blown away with how great TopKids Maunu Village have been. The staff especially are absolutely amazing and extremely helpful.

Parent

My child loves it there! and I feel great that he and I are so comfortable there. I cannot thank your team enough for how easy you have made the transition for me heading back to work – I couldn’t be happier! You are my first recommendation to anyone! And my Little man is looking forward to everyday he is with you guys!

Parent

My son is 3 years old and since he’s been old enough he’s been to three different daycares. Until sending him here, the other daycares never felt as welcoming as this one. I am so happy with the education my son receives!! I would highly recommend this day-care to all my friends and family!!
