Reviews
We feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful experience with Chee in a Tree daycare. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and so supportive of my little one’s development. You can truly feel the love and attention they put into helping each child grow, and it made such a positive difference for our family. We also loved the environment and culture — warm, nurturing, and filled with joy. It’s the kind of place where children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. I genuinely wish we could have stayed longer. My little one misses his friends and teachers so much, which says everything about how special this daycare is. We are truly grateful for our time there and highly recommend Chee in a Tree to any family looking for a caring and enriching space for their child.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found this daycare – it's truly the best childcare experience we could have hoped for! Our children are thriving, and we couldn't be happier with the care they receive at both centres. From the start, the educators have been nothing short of amazing. They have fostered such positive relationships with my kids, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their well-being and development. The play-based learning approach is fantastic – it’s so wonderful to see our children engage in creative, hands-on activities that are both educational and fun. The daycare also offers exciting local field trips around the city, which my kids absolutely love! It's a great way for them to explore new places and expand their horizons. Both centres are exceptionally clean, and the Chee community is warm and welcoming. We’ve always felt like we’re part of a big, supportive family, which makes all the difference. Communication is top-notch, whether it’s through email or in person – we’re always kept in the loop and feel well-informed. Honestly, we feel like we hit the jackpot when it comes to childcare. I can’t recommend this daycare enough – they go above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful to have them in our lives!
I really love this daycare. The teachers are so kind, caring, gentle and thoughtful. The daycare has a higher ratio of teachers to children than other daycares which allows the children to get more attention. I'm so lucky I could get a spot in this amazing daycare. I would recommend this daycare to anyone.
Very hospitable. Kind people. No complaints!!
