Red River Early Learning Center is a place that I wish every child could attend. My two-year-old son is lucky enough... to go there twice a week. He is a sensitive boy, like a lot of other kids, and he had separation anxiety after his bad experience in another center. But Natasha kindly created a welcoming environment and built up trust with him that leads to an easy transition. My son now talks happily about his experiences there. Natasha patiently listens to the kids, understand their needs and emotions, and tries to promote empathy and acceptance in her care. She also introduces various activities to the kids such as music and yoga, and takes them for some field trips, which nurture kids’ minds and help them thrive. It is also great that she has a program for school age kids, in which they the opportunity to think independently, find problems, try different solutions, and deeply learn based on their interests and experiences. I’d recommend this daycare to any parent looking for high quality childcare.read more
We feel so lucky to have found Red River ELC! Natasha is so warm and kind it made the transition from being home with... Mom so much easier for my son. We love the smaller, home environment and it has been amazing to watch him thrive and grow -- making friends, going on adventures, having lots of fun outdoors and exploring new activities with art, music, yoga etc. We couldn't be happier!read more
I can't say enough great things about the RRELC and the amazing care that Natasha provides! This place is so much more... than just a home daycare. Natasha has created an environment that really focuses on the learning and development of children through play. She provides an engaging curriculum filled with activities such as Music and Movement, sign language classes and takes the children out on many adventures. She offers plenty of toys and sensory objects that promote creativity and exploration. Natasha is such a kind and nurturing educator whose has such a strong passion for teaching and caring for children. We are so fortunate to have our daughter enrolled in her program full-time and would highly recommend her!read more
Top notch. My 3 yr daughter was there part time for a while, and it's the best day care I've ever been to. Kids are... left in an exploratory but safe environment. Plenty of wooden toys to stimulate their mind and sensory systems. Goes on walk in woods and play groups. Vegetarian diet. Sign language classes. Those are just a few of the good things I can mention. Tasha is amazing and I won't trade a spot at her place with any amount of money.read more
Such an amazing centre! Our child enjoys every day spent at RRELC, and always looks forward to going back. We're sad... that he won't be continuing there in September as he moves on to Junior Kindergarten, but the positive experiences he has had will leave a lasting impression on him for the rest of his life. We couldn't say enough amazing things about Red River and Natasha, and encourage parents to enrol their children here. An infinite amount of stars, across the board!read more
