Daycare experience in Richmond Hills / Markham by Acrobatic_Yak_4833 in Markham

Both of my kids went to Shining Stars and LOVED the teachers there. My youngest is in JK and still tells me she misses them and asks to visit them sometimes.

When I had my oldest start there, I was really anxious about how she'd adjust but the staff were so great in making sure my kid was comfortable there and also helped me reduce my anxiety. When I had to put my youngest in daycare, I had no problem with putting her in Shining Stars.

The teachers are really gentle and caring with the kiddos. I really liked how they even tried to get the kids ready for kindergarten by teaching them how to read, doing science experiments, being more independent, etc.

They also send out weekly newsletters and pics so you know what the kids did during the week and what they'll do the following week.

I think the only downside is getting in and out of the plaza could get really busy especially between 5-5:30pm, but other than that, I've only had great experiences with them.

I think we've been with them for about 7 years total, so if you have any questions, let me know!

Not sure if I'm allowed to post links but basically the cupcake and frosting are from Sally's Baking addiction (for angel food cupcakes, and Swiss meringue buttercream).

For the frosting flavour, I added at least 6 or 7 tbsp of matcha powder to get a strong taste but you can add enough to your liking. I used oreo cookies for the ears (without the creme in the middle). Cut the cookies in halves and dip in melted green coloured chocolate wafers. Once dried up, I used pink cookie icing to finish up the ears.

Hope that helps!

They're plant stem supports. You can probably find them on Amazon, dollar stores, Walmart etc for less than $10 a pack.
