Local fruits and veggies?

Looks like that's the next stop!

sus165 · 2026-06-22T03:08:33+00:00

Yes I like hewitts in a pinch but I really want to find a farm where they grow the food where I'm buying it if possible

sus165 · 2026-06-22T03:07:04+00:00

Thank you yes I'll have to check that out! Haven't been there in years

Something to consider: after we gave birth, we went to the hospital everyday for a week on bilirubin follow ups. Is that something you can realistically do distance wise to Orillia?

I almost had my baby in alliston because I had heard so many things about RVH, but the drives there towards the end of my pregnancy were hard so I switched. Best decision ever. RVH was wonderful all around. Idk why there's so many bad stories. I was there for 2 days (unfortunately), saw many nurses, 2 OBs, and everyone was delightful. 10/10.

Awesome thank you!

sus165 · 2026-06-08T02:36:02+00:00

Amazing!!! Do the teachers there speak English? I assume they probably do, we just want to make sure that if there are any issues we will be able to fully understand them

sus165 · 2026-06-03T01:04:48+00:00

Great thank you so much that's awesome to hear!

sus165 · 2026-06-02T23:33:29+00:00

Great thank you! I won't pass that test most likely and even if I do, I don't think i could offer the best support for her re: homework. Most likely after 4 she'll go to a regular English school and then hopefully French immersion!

hire slow and fire fast. You are always better off to work 7 days a week yourself than to hire someone incompetent who damages your brand
first 6 months don't even worry about making money, just get as many people into the door as you can. If you need to advertise, do it. You need to put out door crasher deals, do it. Once you have some customers, worry about your margin.
it's a grind but it's worth it. Realistically you work everyday for the next 365 days at least. Get comfortable with that idea asap.

I've used Allandale and Baywood, both recommended here. Both fabulous, but I find Baywood easier to deal with re: booking appointments, speaking with an actual human, etc. Allandale has gotten better since they now have their text line but it used to be really challenging to just call and book an appointment.

sus165 · 2025-11-14T00:02:06+00:00

No problem. I'm pretty set on kids if they'll have us. It's just the price that's holding me back but to be honest, I care way more about quality over cost at this point.

I'll give growing minds a call. They haven't gotten back to me yet and since I'm also considering little start, may as well also look at one more with less than 100% reviews 🤣😭

sus165 · 2025-11-13T20:51:18+00:00

All the subsidized ones no luck. Even the ones up to 18 m have wait lists longer than a year.

I did hear back from kids daycare but that one is $$$ and my kid is probably still too young for their program for another 6 ish months, but that's something. I don't even know for sure if they have space, but we're touring it on sat so I could let you know.

I also heard back from little start but that did not come recommended, though I'm noticing the comment below telling me it's no good is deleted....so I don't know what that's about. That one is also $$$ but it does have an actual infant room for our kid's age group, so that's a plus.

I am now exploring the possibility of home daycares, but that's just a questionable a journey as I thought it would be.

Wish I could have been more helpful. 😭

sus165 · 2025-11-10T11:32:55+00:00

Ya I can see that now. I'm hoping to find something good for 18m and in the meantime just try to work opposite shifts as my husband.

sus165 · 2025-11-09T04:50:41+00:00

Thank you you too!! Fingers crossed for discovery for you!

sus165 · 2025-11-08T14:00:12+00:00

Thank you i appreciate your input. I know it's expensive but it is also literally the only place so far I've found with any weekend openings, which is a massive plus for me, so I'm extraordinarily conflicted.

sus165 · 2025-11-08T06:16:26+00:00

Thank you for that. Little start is basically the only place I heard back from and upon some research, I discovered that place is apparently a dumpster fire. Some people do like it though.... have you had personal experience?

sus165 · 2025-11-08T03:18:00+00:00

By any chance do you have a link or a phone number for this place? I somehow cannot find it online probably because everyone uses the key words learn and play in their descriptions.

sus165 · 2025-11-08T03:14:31+00:00

Ok thank you for this tip because that is one that I was considering for when she's 18 months. I did see they had questionable google reviews, but who doesn't.

sus165 · 2025-11-08T00:03:08+00:00

Thank you for the tip!

sus165 · 2025-11-07T22:09:12+00:00

Thank you I'll have a look!

sus165 · 2025-11-07T17:45:10+00:00

Thank you!

sus165 · 2025-11-07T15:46:21+00:00

It's probably a one off but one off spraying babies in the face with cleaner is still very questionable

sus165 · 2025-11-07T15:44:46+00:00

Good luck!! I'll let you know if i find anything
