Our experience has been wonderful! My daughter truly enjoys her time there and comes home every day excited to share something new she has learned. Miss Sumon and her team are warm, caring, and dedicated to creating a positive environment for the children. We are very grateful for the support, attention, and learning opportunities they provide.

We feel so lucky to have found this daycare. From the moment we walked in, Suman, the director made us feel like family. She runs the center with such warmth and genuine care, always greeting every child by name and taking the time to check in with parents. Her calm, capable leadership is the reason this place feels less like a facility and more like a second home. RJ, the assistant director, is just as amazing, always there with a smile, handling the day-to-day with patience and humor. And then there are the caretakers from our daughter, Sarah and Arsh, who are absolute treasures. Arsh has the kindest, most nurturing energy; she somehow makes every child feel seen and special. My kid lights up when she sees Arsh in the room. Sarah, meanwhile, brings so much joyful creativity to the classroom, art projects, silly songs, and the most wonderful patience during tough moments. They're not just caregivers; they're genuinely shaping little hearts and minds with compassion and intention. If you're looking for a place where your child will be deeply loved and cared for while growing socially and emotionally, THIS IS IT. We went to visit at least 15 daycare and this is just special. One more important thing for us was for the place to be DIVERSE, and Connections certainly IS. Thank you, Suman, RJ, Sarah, and Arsh, for everything you do. You've given us such peace of mind, and our little one adores you all.

We are incredibly grateful to have found this daycare for our child. From the ownership to every single staff member, the level of care, kindness, and professionalism has been absolutely outstanding. You can truly feel how much everyone genuinely cares about the children and their well-being. The staff are always welcoming, patient, attentive, and supportive, creating a safe and loving environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable every day. As parents, it gives us so much peace of mind knowing our child is in such caring hands. The owner (Suman) have built an amazing team and atmosphere, and it clearly reflects in the quality of care they provide. We have seen such positive growth, happiness, and confidence in our child since attending here. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a trustworthy, nurturing, and positive place for their children. Thank you Ms.Sara & Ms.Arsh for everything you do every single day fornkeeping my child safe and happy really appreciate it.

We feel so lucky to have found Connections for our son. Suman, the owner, is truly amazing. She is so sweet with all the children, very hands-on, and really takes the time to get to know each parent and connect with each child personally. You can tell she genuinely cares and knows exactly what she is doing. The food: There have been many times we’ve come in during snack or meal time, and the food is always so well prepared. My 2-year-old son loves his snacks and meals, and we’ve even had the chance to try some of the food ourselves. It’s honestly really good! Everything is made in-house by their chef, and I love that they prepare their food with organic ingredients. The Caregivers:. A special recognition goes to Ms. Inderr and Ms. Jazz. They are so warm, patient, and kind with the kids. I have popped in many times without notice, and every time I’ve observed how they interact with the children, they have been nothing short of fantastic, hands on and so patient with the kids. Daily Updates: My husband and I get notifications about what my son is doing throughout the day, along with photos of him doing arts and crafts, dancing, playing outside, and enjoying his day. It gives me so much peace of mind as a parent. The facility: ITS amazing!! Truly one of the best daycares I’ve ever seen. It is bright, modern, beautifully decorated, clean, and filled with so many fun things for the kids to do. The big windows and open feel make it such a welcoming space. Our family is so grateful to have found Connections. I would absolutely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, clean, and engaging environment for their child. Excellent work Connections!

Choosing this daycare was one of the best decisions I made for my child. The staff truly care, and it shows in the love and patience they give every day. Seeing my child happy, confident, and excited to go each morning means everything to me. It gives me great comfort knowing my child is in such a safe and nurturing environment. I am truly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent.

I highly recommend this daycare! The entire staff is incredibly professional, and the daycare itself is spacious, neat, and clean - it’s a newly built facility that provides a wonderful environment for kids. The connection between the teachers and the children is amazing. One of the standout features is the Lillio app, which keeps parents updated throughout the day with details on food intake, naps, and both indoor and outdoor activities. It’s a great way to stay connected and feel involved, which aligns perfectly with the daycare’s name, “Connections.” The activities and toys are thoughtfully selected, promoting learning and development. I’m also impressed with the outdoor space, which is large and offers fantastic activities for the children to enjoy. The daycare provides healthy food options like fruits, beans, oats, and milk, which is great to see. Additionally, the cutlery used is kids friendly, with no plastic. Overall, I’m very happy with this daycare, and I appreciate how they keep parents and kids connected through the Lillio app throughout the day. Thank you Team Connections!

We are so lucky to have found Ms Suman and her team at Connections! From the moment I entered their bright, beautiful space on our tour, I felt like I could exhale; the centre is not just beautiful but is also inviting, thoughtfully-designed, and brimming with love and laughter. Quality of care is unmatched with lower ratios and consistent caregivers who are both knowledgeable and passionate in their work. My toddler loves coming to school each day and I can tell she is doted on by all her teachers. Most of all, she feels safe there and knows it’s her second home. I’m confident and proud to bring my daughter to a place where she is truly seen, known, and respected. Not every daycare is like this, but we are so fortunate to have found Connections and become a part of this community!

We are extremely happy with Connections Early Learning Childcare Centre. Our 2-year-old son, Moksh, attends full-day daycare here, and choosing this centre has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. We had planned to visit 3–4 daycare centres, but after our first visit here and meeting Suman, we never felt the need to look anywhere else. From day one, we felt complete trust and peace of mind. Suman is an incredibly kind, supportive, and caring person, and all the teachers genuinely love and care for the children as if they are their own. The classrooms are always clean, well-organized, and safe. The play area is excellent — spacious, engaging, and thoughtfully designed to help children learn and enjoy through play. Seeing Moksh happy, comfortable, and excited to go every day reassures us that he is in the right place. As a vegetarian family, food was a major concern for us. The staff take special care of Moksh’s meals and respect his food preferences, which shows their attention to detail and personal care for every child. Connections Early Learning Childcare Centre truly feels like a second home for our son. Leaving your child in someone else’s care is never easy, but here we feel complete trust, safety, and peace of mind every single day. We are very grateful to Suman and the entire team and highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving, clean, and nurturing environment for their child.

We absolutely love this daycare! All the educators are incredibly friendly, supportive, and always ready to help. Ms. Suman deserves a special mention — she is always available to answer our questions and makes everything clear and easy to understand. Her support really helps us feel confident and comfortable every day. The menu is healthy and nutritious, which we really appreciate. It’s great to know that the children are getting balanced meals throughout the day. The daycare also offers a wide variety of activities, and each child receives so much individual attention. You can see how much care, love, and effort the staff put into every part of the program. Their playground is absolutely amazing — spacious, clean, beautifully organized, and full of natural elements. The wooden play structures, cozy seating areas, and greenery-covered ceiling create such a warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s truly a perfect space for children to explore, play, and learn safely. Highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a caring, professional, and enriching environment!

Connections Daycare is absolutely beautiful — from the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and thought that has gone into creating such a warm and welcoming space. The classrooms are bright, organized, and filled with age-appropriate toys that spark curiosity and learning. It’s immediately evident that this environment was designed with the children’s well-being and development as the top priority. One of the most impressive aspects of the center is the quality of their catering and nutrition program. Unlike many daycares that rely on standard, processed snacks, Connections provides healthy and balanced meals.

I am incredibly happy with this daycare. My child is usually a very picky eater, but he absolutely loves the food here—and I can see why. The meals are always nutritious, healthy, and honestly far better than anything I’ve seen offered elsewhere. The educators are truly wonderful. They connect with the children in such a warm and genuine way. My child enjoys his time there so much that he often cries at pickup because he doesn’t want to leave! Knowing he feels that comfortable and cared for gives me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a supportive, caring, and enriching environment for their child.

Our daughter’s first month at Connections Early Learning Childcare Centre has been nothing short of magical. From our very first meeting with Suman and tour of the incredible, inspiring space she’s created, we knew it was the perfect place for our daughter to play, learn, and grow. Every member of the team has been so warm, welcoming, and patient. From the fun daily activities to the healthy, thoughtful meals, we couldn’t be more grateful to have found this special place for our little one. We feel such peace of mind knowing she’s so well cared for and truly happy at her home away from home. We’re looking forward to many more joyful years with this amazing childcare community!

Sending a little one to daycare can be a difficult transition but Connections has made it as easy as possible for us! Our daughter and family have felt so supported and cared for here. Suman, the Director and Owner, is so loving and has a deep understanding of children and families - her care is incredibly apparent throughout the whole daycare. Plus, it's a BEAUTIFUL and clean space and has the most amazing year-round outdoor play area. Needless to say, we highly recommend Connections.

The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and full of intention, nothing feels rushed or random. What makes this centre stand out is how clear and purposeful everything is.

I couldn’t be happier that we found our home at Connections! Suman and her teachers have truly treated us like family. My kids are excited to go to school everyday and each day they have new and thoughtful activities and lesson plans for the students. The classrooms are brand new and FILLED with toys and activities that the kids love. Having a school where my kids are not just watched, but played with and loved, has been such a gift and I can not recommend Ms Suman and Connections enough!

Beautiful new early education centre for little ones! Love all the play and learning stations. So many different things for my daughter to learn, explore, and develop with! The outside patio is amazing and my daughter loves it. Most importantly we love the director, Suman. She is incredibly knowledgeable and you can see the passion flow from her when she’s talking about early education. We fully trust her and that is why we’ve been following her with our kids for a few years now.

If you’ve not found this childcare for your little one, you’ll really be missing out on “motherlike warm very lovable and kind daycare mommies!! The toys and materials they have in their classrooms are soo educational, very attractive for the kids to never be able to get enough of them. It’s the little things that makes them soo exquisite and soo different from every other childcare around the street. Give your little one a month, you’ll see how fresh, lively and loving they’ll feel always after their day here. They hire not just any educator, but ones that don’t have any toxic/ negative ( military hard discipline energie*d teachers) but only and only love to give to your little ones…. Give it a try!!! You won’t regret it, this childcare’s very accomplished and will treat you like family( real family)

I never met an educator as passionate about children as Suman. She always advocates for the best quality education for the children in her care. Her "out-of-the-box" thinking has always been something I admired. Her centre shows that already! She will provide your children with so much love and respect along with paired educational learning that is very hard to find these days! Rest assured that opening her own centre means shes going to find the best quality staff and provide continuing education and learning for all, so thay your children can thrive and be the best versions of themselves!

This is by far one of the best childcare centres in Calgary. Every aspect is thoughtfully designed to ensure children receive an exceptional experience each day. The facility is state-of-the-art, and the staff are outstanding—particularly the Director, Suman, whose leadership and dedication truly set the centre apart. Bring your kids here, you will not regret it!
