"I told my son that it sounds like he really likes his new centre and he replied that he doesn't like it, and he doesn't love it - but he "super loves it to infinity!". It reassures me greatly that my little boy is happy, challenged, and excited about the time he spends at Mindful Moments. The care and planning you have put into developing both the centre's physical amenities, and the educational programming, is evident down to the smallest details. It feels good to walk in and be warmly greeted by your staff and made to feel welcome. I've observed that the children are happy, cooperating, and growing both through the outstanding summer programming you have developed, and the clean, engaging and Zen ambience of the facilities. I'm so very pleased to have found such a unique and thoughtful child care centre, that is really does live up to its name."

"Thank you for taking such great care of our daughter and for making this past year, absolutely wonderful.  Vanessa, you and your staff are to be commended as you all are truly amazing – loving, caring, energetic, responsible, attentive – all the qualities we would want in the people that are caring for our daughter.  We have been so impressed with all the activities that you have provided, whether it be ladybug catching on a fall day, playing hockey in the gym, a field trip to the zoo or the kids just playing a game of skip-bo in the playroom.  You have made Mindful Moments a safe and inviting learning environment and a true home away from home – so to speak! There is a strong desire to make it the best possible experience they can for our kids. The kids are constantly doing interesting activities. With the kinders, they are doing activities that support what is going on in kindergarten which is fantastic."

"I feel that my child learns more from being at Mindful Moments than in her Kindergarten class. She is excited to learn and is always full of stories and songs when she gets home. We practice some of the Kindermusik programs at home and are seeing such a difference in our daughter."

"The workers are excellent and Vanessa is a fantastic manager of the program. My kids love the gymnasium, and the chance to run around. I am often impressed by the quality and number of crafts they bring home. We have been very pleased with the day care, especially the quality of the workers."

"We love all the field trips! The right combination of physical activity and educational learning is a hard thing to find but they have it nailed at Mindful."

"I've been impressed with how clean and neat the rooms are kept.  My son is really enjoying the variety of field trips and activities they have planned, no two days are ever the same and that keeps him busy and excited to come back each day."

"Hi Vanessa, I just wanted to share my conversation I had with my son last night that almost brought tears to my eyes and I squealed with so much happiness. Previously at his last daycare he had pretty traumatizing drop offs where he’d latch onto me or the vehicle, holding on for dear life, screaming and crying. I was told this was learned behavior but my mom instincts could tell he wasn’t happy there. He hasn’t been there for several months with covid but still describes his last daycare as scary, makes him feel sad and that he doesn’t want to go there."

"He’s now been at your daycare for 3 weeks. Last  night I was asking what he’d like to do this weekend for fun. He said daycare! Daycare! I want to go to daycare! I asked him a number of questions like you want to go to daycare instead of the beach, do you love your daycare, do you like your teachers, is it fun all of which he said yes to! I can’t tell you how much that means to me to hear those words coming out of his mouth. Every time I drop him off and pick him up he’s so happy and I can already tell he’s learning and talking more with the speech delay he has. I’m glad I trusted my instincts and tried somewhere new. I can’t thank you enough for providing such a warm, inviting and fun environment for our son. ❤️❤️"

"MM is simply amazing. The space is well set up, clean and the play areas are outside the box and well rotated. No plastic noisy toys here. Kids are encouraged to use their imagination and are offered a variety of different activities to bring out their creativity. Plus an art room, glow room and a full gym! The staff are kind, caring and really make an effort to get to know the kids as individuals. My kids have done full day preschool, kindercare and out of school care so I can speak to the quality of all these programs. The owner/director is also lovely and very responsive to questions. MM feels like family."

"Our children love it here! They have excellent programs and excellent teachers! We would recommend them to anyone. Clean rooms, loving teachers, huge variety of play and crafts. Overall, just great!"

"I love the full day program that allows me to have a career while my son is learning and socializing every day. I can see that the owner and the teachers invest a lot of resources and effort to make sure the kids have the very best tools to help them learn and grow. From well thought out space, high quality toys and educational resources, to the new outdoor space, and the different rooms that the kids have access to (art, science, gym, glow and yoga), Mindful Moments offers the best program I’ve seen in Sherwood Park. Thank you!"

"My daughter attended MM for a year and she loved it! The director of the Preschool/after school care is phenomenal! Such a joy to deal with. The teachers at the school are so friendly and really interact with the children and are so loving and kind. Wish I found Mindful Moments years ago. So sad this was my daughters last year attending! Keep it up MM! We will miss you!"

"This school focuses on mindfulness, kindness, and learning through play. It's a very nurturing environment and my 4YO had the best experience. Would recommend 100%!"

"Fantastic full time preschool! After a couple months we have seen so much growth in our child. The activities are always changing, the space is incredibly well thought out, and the teachers have all been fantastic so far."

"Your centre is amazing and we have been truly blessed to have our child in your care for the last few years.  The program you run is top notch and above and beyond what any parent could ever ask for for their child when in care of someone other than themselves.  I know our child has made wonderful friends and really loved the teachers you have employed under you."

"I couldn’t be more impressed with the thought and creativity that goes into all day preschool program at mindful moments. I’ve been lucky enough to have had both of my kids attend preschool here. The organization is the best that I have seen in comparison to other centres my kids have attended. The teachers here engage with the kids in a way that inspires them and fosters their learning. I am SO happy to have found Mindful Moments for my kids!"
