My son has been going to the Julia’s Dayhome for 1 year. He looks forward to going there every day. It is like second home to him. Clean and healthy environment. The teacher really makes an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. Russian language skills is another huge advantage of this dayhome. Thank you to Julia’s Dayhome for being a safe, warm, fun and educational place for our child!

My daughter attends Julia’s Dayhome for almost a year now and she completely adores it and this is the most important thing for me as a mother. The loving and caring atmosphere, learning activities, crafts, plenty of outdoor time – all this makes Julia’s Dayhome a perfect place for a kid.

What is your sick policy?
To maintain a healthy environment, we ask that children who have a fever, contagious illness, or have shown symptoms within the last 24 hours stay home until they are symptom-free. If a child becomes ill during the day, we will notify you promptly and ask that they be picked up as soon as possible to avoid spreading illness.
How do you communicate with parents about their child’s day?
We regularly discuss each child’s progress, address any concerns, and send pictures of your child’s activities. Open and transparent communication with parents is very important to us.
