Emilie & Dave Lane

After a very unsuccessful attempt at a larger daycare centre, we wearily registered our not-yet-three-year-old at Langford Montessori. Having only been previously cared for by family, she didn’t do well with her corporate daycare experience, which lasted several months with tears and major separation anxiety at every drop off. A friend couldn’t say enough good things about Ms. Julie so we decided to make the switch, and we now consider ourselves very lucky to have secured a spot. Competent, kind, caring and calm, Ms. Julie is all you could ask for in a caregiver. Our daughter took to her right away, which was an excellent sign as she rarely warms up to anyone immediately. She also earned our 100% trust on the first visit–and that’s saying a lot for parents who don’t leave their children in anyone but grandparents’ care. Our daughter was drawn into the classroom by the fascinating work stations. In the morning she can hardly wait to get started and it’s difficult to get her to leave. This school is exactly what she needed to stimulate her growing mind, body and spirit. I only wish we could clone Ms. Julie so that we could recommend her to more of our friends. We can’t say enough good things about her and are looking forward to sending our baby boy there once he’s old enough too!
