Words from Parents

Cheyenne Desjarlais

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Alphabet Daycare South. Our daughter started there when she had just turned one, now she’s three. Looking back over the past two years, the growth we’ve seen in her has been amazing. She has gained so much confidence, learned so many new skills, and truly blossomed into the little person she is today.

The educators have cared for her with so much love, patience, and kindness. We always look forward to opening the daily emails and getting a glimpse into her day, seeing all the fun activities, learning, and smiles.

Our daughter is a sensitive little girl who sometimes just needs an extra hug, and every single time, the staff have been there with open arms. They have always made her feel safe, loved, and understood. They are nurturing, caring, encouraging, gentle, and warm, and they have made such a positive impact on her life.

We will always be grateful for the love and dedication the team at Alphabet Daycare South has shown our daughter. Thank you for treating her like one of your own and for helping her grow into such a happy, curious, and confident little girl. We look forward to our son joining her when he is one! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place for her, and we recommend Alphabet Daycare South with our whole hearts.

We absolutely love Alphabet Daycare South! Our daughter started here at 1.5 years old (she’s now 3), and from the very beginning we’ve felt welcomed and supported. The providers are incredibly patient and kind, and they truly take the time to get to know each child and their family. It’s clear how much they care — the bonds they create with the kids are so genuine and special. We’ve seen our daughter grow in confidence, kindness, and curiosity, and we know so much of that comes from the nurturing environment here. We feel very lucky to be part of this wonderful community!

I see Alphabet Daycare as my second family. My two kids have been in their care for over five years. The management is reliable and trustworthy while the educators are caring and fun to be with. I thank the whole team of Alphabet Daycare wholeheartedly for their everyday hard work.

As both an educator and a parent in Alphabet Daycare Downtown, I’ve had the unique opportunity to see firsthand the positive impact it has on children’s growth and development. Both of my children have been enrolled here, and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful.

My son, who is still attending, started out as a very reserved little boy. Over time, with the support of the educators and the nurturing environment, he has grown into a confident, talkative child who is now a friend to everybody. It’s been incredible to watch him come out of his shell and thrive socially.

My daughter has already completed her time at the daycare, but one of the most meaningful outcomes for her has been the friendships she built here. She developed socially and she also created strong, lasting bonds. Even after moving on from daycare, she remains connected with her friends and educators, which speaks volumes about the community this center fosters.

As an educator working here, I’ve always admired the dedication, patience, and care of my colleagues. As a parent, I am deeply grateful for the role they’ve played in helping both of my children feel safe and loved. Alphabet Daycare Downtown truly feels like a second home for our family.

My daughter started at Alphabet Daycare when she was a baby. She has turned 5. My experience with Alphabet Daycare has been wonderful. It is a place that my daughter loves to go, and I can trust that my daughter is having fun. Alphabet Daycare literally helps me bring up my daughter.

Alphabet Daycare Downtown is truly a wonderful place for children. The staff are warm, caring, and professional—they go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, happy, and engaged. The environment is clean, welcoming, and filled with age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play.

I really appreciate how the teachers communicate regularly with parents and share updates about the children’s progress and daily routines. It’s clear they genuinely care about the kids and put effort into nurturing their growth and confidence.

I had taken a long vacation of about a year and when I came back and approached them again, they welcomed us back with a spot.

My child loves going here every day, and I have peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. I would highly recommend Alphabet Daycare Downtown to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching daycare experience.

Alphabet Daycare, a home away from home for our children!
Our oldest, Chloe, started with Alphabet Daycare in the fall of 2019, shortly after their opening. Since then, she has grown into a wonderfully inquisitive, bright and caring girl! She has grown all the way from the baby room to the OSC room at Alphabet Daycare. She will begin Grade 2 this fall and I know that she is well prepared, largely due to the love and support she is shown daily at daycare. We were thrilled for our other daughter, Charlie, to have joined the Alphabet family in the infant room last year! 
Thank you, Alphabet Daycare, for providing such a wonderful environment for our kids to grow.

As one of the educators in the Sloth Room, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to have my son, Justin, and my daughter, Chantelle, attend Alphabet Daycare. Although we are in the same branch but in different rooms, it brings me so much joy to witness their growth and development each day.

I truly believe that Alphabet Daycare is the best place for my children. The environment we provide is nurturing, enriching, and full of love, thanks to the guidance of our amazing director and the dedication of all our educators. Everyone works so hard in planning meaningful activities and providing the best care for the children, and I see the positive impact it has not just on my kids, but on all the children in our care.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for welcoming my family into such a wonderful community.

Our son Lincoln has been with Alphabet daycare for over 5 years now and he continues to love going there everyday, and most days he doesn’t want to leave! All of the employees have always been amazing communicating with us about our sons, good or bad behavior, plus they are big on rules which we are too. All the staff have always been awesome to deal with, and we have continued to stay with Alphabet Daycare when Lincoln started Kindergarten for after school care. Lincoln has learned a lot in the past 5 years, and we are thankful for the help and support he’s had at Alphabet Daycare.

We would like to thank Alphabet Daycare.  Our daughter has been enrolled since she was one.  Alphabet Daycare made us feel at ease from day one.  The educators report to us the activities every day and welcome suggestions, making us feel very comfortable.   The activities planned encourage a fun learning environment.   The director is very approachable and responsive, always does her best to help.   The engaging curriculum, the care the educators have and the love they show us it is the exact environment we need for our daughter.

Angie Weidman

Our little guy is often shy and reserved yet the staff continuously help him feel warm and welcome and encourage him to interact and play with the other children! That is so comforting as a parent since trusting others with your child is not an easy task!

The director has been so humble and helpful throughout our experience! If it wasn’t for her heart and her commitment to her job (and our family)  I know that our childcare experience wouldn’t have been as positive as it was!

Thank you so very much to the entire team here for growing with us and for helping us through any challenges that arise!

We have been going to Alphabet Daycare for almost 4 years and we will be forever grateful for the love we’ve felt!

Thanks again!

My Daughter has been going to Alphabet Daycare for more than two years now and it has been a wonderful experience.  She loves going to “school” to see her friends and teachers, and it is never a problem at drop off in the mornings. The educators are so kind and gentle and always come up with great ideas to challenge their imagination and always something different.

It was difficult to find a daycare center that would treat kids as their own. Fortunately, we found Alphabet Daycare South when we moved to Red Deer. Immediately after touring the center and meeting the teachers, we felt it was the right place for our son.

During his 16 months at the daycare, our son learned so much—both socially and academically—and we are incredibly thankful to Alphabet Daycare South for that. We even had the chance to celebrate his birthdays at the daycare when he turned 4 and 5 years old, which were truly memorable moments for us.

Now that we’ve moved to another city, our son still fondly remembers his time at Alphabet Daycare South. I would wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to all parents out there!

Ronalyn Mendoza

I have twins who have been attending Alphabet Daycare for over a year now, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. My children absolutely love going to daycare every day and always come home excited to share the fun activities they did. The teachers are wonderful—caring, patient, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness.

The daycare is always very clean and well-organized, and I appreciate how they maintain such a positive and disciplined environment. Every day offers something new and engaging for the kids, helping them learn while having fun.

We’re so grateful to be part of the Alphabet Daycare family. I highly recommend this center to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching place for their children.

Emi Bruneau

I used to work at Alphabet South, and my children attended as well. If we lived in Red Deer, we would absolutely still be there.

As an educator, I can confidently say that Alphabet Daycare educators are well-trained and hold very high standards in childcare. They deeply understand child development, focus on children’s well-being, and support learning dispositions while providing fun, engaging activities every day.

Alphabet Daycare is not profit-driven. Their approach is truly child-centred and family-focused. They maintain open communication and build strong, supportive relationships with both children and families.

As a parent, I cannot express how grateful I am for the educators. My children developed strong learning dispositions through meaningful, play-based experiences they genuinely enjoyed. The educators acted as co-learners and co-researchers alongside the children, and their involvement made a remarkable impact on my children’s growth and development.

I am grateful for the experiences and relationships we built at Alphabet Daycare. We highly recommend other parents to choose Alphabet daycare for their children!
