Tina - 2 kids in Toddler program

„UYVDC is a gem. The staff are like family as they truly love the children. Appropriately nicknamed “Baby Village” by my kids, this is a daycare where the happiness, safety and development of the children are held dear, as are the relationships between the staff and parents. The result is a childcare centre with deep roots in the community it serves. You won’t find a more dedicated group of ECEs, many of whom have been at UYVDC long enough to see their infants later return with infants of their own. Also, the staff and families who attend this daycare are diverse and reflect the broader community. That alone makes this place a rarity.”

HI MAMA APP

Besides the phone calls, Staff are also easily reached through Hi Mama app. Once your child is enrolled you will be able to create and log in into the Hi mama app. Hi Mama app is our daily communication tool with our families and staff. Parents receive: Daily chart including all the information of your child’s day: Meal intake, diaper & washroom routines, sleep time and a photo of your child participating in an activity or engaging in play. With the photo, we will give you a written interpretation, as well as a learning objective that was accomplished that day. Through Hi Mama, staff also send calendar updates ; lastly you will be also contacted to if your child’s personal supplies are running low(diapers, wipes, extra clothes etc. ). https://www.himama.com/users/parents This serves for easy and convenient communication for all. Please note that the staff’s priority is safety and well being of your child therefore they will only engage in any communication when times allows.

Upper Yonge Village Daycare Centre

    Dear UYVDC Community !

    14 St. Clements Ave has been home to Upper Yonge Village Daycare Centre for the past 40 years, but the building has been a cornerstone in the North Toronto community for much longer. Due to the planned renovation of the building, after 40 years of carrying for the children in our community, UYVDC will close on August 31, 2024.
    Thank you to all staff who worked at our Centre over the years . Thank you to all volunteering board of directors who endlessly supported me in my role of the Executive Director over the past 13 years and prior to me. Thank you to all our families to entrusting us in taking care of your children. We are proud to be part of creating forever memories of this special spot which UYVDC was .

    Yours truly, Daniela Durisova- Young, RECE
