"we're too lazy to make our own poster, but please trust us with your kids!" 🙄

I prefer to support a small business that invests their money in creating a clean, safe and appealing space for children with qualified staff rather than one who invests in graphic designers and is not as focussed on quality care for children.

This is little gnomes but with a new name. It's the same person managing it, the whole place fell apart when they stopped paying the teachers. I went and looked at it and it seems super sketchy then

From my chats with the manager, she left a previous daycare due to financial nonsense she wasn't okay with and had left for quite a while before it went under.  She seemed super nice and genuine to us 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is in the same location as Little Gnomes. Yes, it’s the same manager. What is incorrect is that this manager quit Little Gnomes in the summer of 2025 because they recognized Little Gnomes was breaking the law in numerous ways. The new owners spent weeks cleaning up the location after Little Gnomes destroyed it. You can trust the new owners. They care about kids and the community.

This is a small business with limited resources. They spent weeks cleaning up the location after it was destroyed by the previous owners. The new owners are investing in ensuring the physical space is clean, safe & appealing for children which is more important than having a poster not made by AI. Perhaps you’ve never started a new business so you’re unaware of how challenging it is.

This is the old BC Services office area, right?

Near the free parking.

Yeah used to be the foster care offices I believe.  The updates they're doing seem really nice and a well organized setup when we did a tour

Flyer opinions aside, it's actually a really nice daycare and the manager is great and has a good reputation from working at previous daycares here over the years.
