It has been a wonderful experience with Little Caterpillars. Fatima has been so patient and welcoming, making my son’s transition smooth and easy. My son comes home and is excited to share with me how much fun he had with his friends. Practicing letters, having pizza and dance parties, painting, crafting, playing outside... he has enjoyed all the creative and stimulating activities. I love receiving updates during the day to see how he is doing and it brings me comfort knowing he is learning while having fun. Less

My husband and I, being first time parents with little family living near us, were really nervous about finding a day home for our 1 year old boy - then we met Fatima and her staff at Little Caterpillars! Fatima was so kind & professional from the minute we had the meet and greet with her. We knew right away our son would be in good hands! When it comes to Communication & updates we couldn’t ask for more - we are constantly updated on naps, feeding, activities and daily pictures to give us peace of mind how he’s making out throughout the day! I can honestly say Fatima & staff treat our son like their own and give him a safe, clean, home away from home environment -I highly recommend Fatima & her staff !! Less
What should I say about LCC? It’s simply fantastic! I’m proud to say that my 4 year old son Shahid was one of the first students at this place.

Shahid was barely 3 at the time of enrolment and I was so pleased with the enriching environment Fatima and her staff so lovingly provided.

Fatima is one of the easiest most approachable individuals I have come across 😊, she is a pleasure to interact with and she has a great knack with her students. Fatima is qualified in the area of child care and teaching. It’s so heartening to see how LCC has grown in a little over a year with many more enrolments and happy parents😄... I am really eager for Shahid to re-enrol and also would love for my younger son to enjoy all that LCC has to offer! Keep up the super work Fatima😀👌🏽 Less

If you are looking for a day home that provides you with peace of mind that your child is getting excellent care given by amazing staff? Then I would look no further!! Fatima made a great first impression and has not disappointed in the quality of care and peace of mind she and her staff give us each day our kids are there. Fatima and her staff are always so happy to see the kids and are sad when they leave. They are always willing to work with the parents and kids to make sure both are happy and comfortable. My wife and I looked at a few day homes before finally finding Little Caterpillars. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and warmth, and I felt almost instantly that this was the right place. Fatima is always updating us throughout the day on how the kids are doing. When any issues arise, she is understanding and patient with both kids and parents. When the pandemic hit Alberta, Fatima was quick to inform parents about all the new Health and Safety protocols they were putting in place to make sure the kids stay safe and healthy. I could say so much more about Little Caterpillars and how great they are, but that is, in all honesty, up to each individual parent to decide. All I can say is, take a look and give it a chance you won't be disappointed. Less
It took us 8 different day homes to find Little Caterpillars. 3 amazing care givers for the price of 1. They are all equally amazing and we trust them every day with our little girl. It feels like we're dropping her off at families home every day.

When my wife and I were searching for a day home for our son, the most important aspect for us was the feeling we got when we walked through the doors. As soon as we stepped into the little caterpillars child care, we had a feeling full of love. Our son absolutely loves his second home. Fatima and staff treat him as family and have taught him many new things. They take the time to ensure he not only plays but also learns. I would 100 percent recommend this day home. Thank you Fatima, Luba and Lovely, keep up the wonderful work. Less
We all have had that uneasy feeling when trying to find the right fit for a day home. Entrusting our little ones with someone is hard when you hear of everything that goes on in the world.

We all have had that uneasy feeling when trying to find the right fit for a day home. Entrusting our little ones with someone is hard when you hear of everything that goes on in the world. We had looked at many many day homes but did not want to just settle on a place. After visiting day homes and asking our children which place they liked ,it was always little Catipillars. Our child takes a bit to adjust to new surroundings and environments but Fatima and her team made him feel welcome. Our kids love going and are excited to show us the the awesome arts and crafts, or excited to tell us how they played with their friends. We know it's a big step in finding that right place for your little catipillar and with the help of Fatima and her awesome staff they will blossom into the beautiful unique butterflys they are destined to be. Covid protocols are in place and enforced so you can rest easy knowing they are in good hands! Less

As a first time mommy, enrolling my one year old into dayhome in the middle of pandemic was scary and after checking out multiple daycares and leaving dissatisfied I was so glad to have found Little Caterpillars as second home for my little guy. My son’s only been enrolled going on his third week and he already enters dayhome gleaming with excitement. The owner Fatima keeps us informed of his activities throughout the day - we’re regularly informed about his nap lengths, his food intake, how much is eaten and his play activities. Best of all, we get photos throughout the day :) THANK YOU FATIMA! You have made my anxiety of trusting my baby in a dayhome setting so easy for our family. I can’t wait to see her process with you guys! Less
Both of my children look forward to going to Little Caterpillars every day. The staff are very warm and friendly and help the children learn new things through crafts, circle/activity time and free play.

My son goes there after school and he is treated like family. Fatima, Lovely and Luba do such a wonderful job. Their home is clean, organized and safe. My son is always happy and excited whenever he goes there. I am so lucky to have found a dayhome that I know I can trust with my son.
Fatima and staff are so kind and welcoming. Our son loves getting dropped off and sometimes doesn’t even want to come home. He is always happy at drop off and pick up. We couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for our son.
Fatima is so wonderful with our two children. She is so kind and gentle, especially with our little one who has found this transition hard. She sends multiple pictures everyday and keeps us in the loop with how the kids are doing. I’m so thankful we found her!
Fatima has been so wonderful to our son and family. She is very caring and loving, we feel at ease when our little one is with her. She goes beyond our expectations and very accommodating to our son needs. We get updates throughout the day which we love to have that communicates to us.

We visited many dayhomes before hearing that Little Caterpillars had an opening and arranged a visit with Fatima. We saw the very positive online reviews and felt that this could be the right fit for us. Seconds after stepping into Fatima's home, we knew we wanted her to take care of our children. To name only a few of the qualities that make her a wonderful care provider, she is warm, kind, thoughtful, generous and understanding. She has an ability to connect quickly with children and make them feel loved and at home. Fatima is diplomatic and gracious in dealing with any issues or concerns that may arise and she is also a fantastic communicator. Our children have only been with her a short time but I'm sure this will become a long term relationship :) Less

Highly recommend Fatima if you need a true home away from home atmosphere for your child. I can see how much they are loved there. Less

So when we found Little Caterpillars / Fatima we fell in love instantly. She was our first interview out of 6 and we compared every single place to hers. She is caring, happy, loving and truly only wants the best for your little person. We couldn't be happier with Fatima and her staff, and are over the moon that our little one is thriving in her care. I highly recommend Little Caterpillars!! Less
Fatima is warm and caring and made us at ease instantly during our 1st visit. The facility is clean with lots of options for kids to play and learn. My son generally takes time to mingle but with Fatima he is completely at ease.
Short version: excellent day home. Fatima is warm, welcoming, generous and kind. Instantly makes parents and children alike feel welcomed and comfortable. The home itself is very clean with lots of different activities for children to engage in. There is a routine to the day but Fatima makes sure the children are happy and engaged.

Short version: excellent day home. Fatima is warm, welcoming, generous and kind. Instantly makes parents and children alike feel welcomed and comfortable. The home itself is very clean with lots of different activities for children to engage in. There is a routine to the day but Fatima makes sure the children are happy and engaged. She believes in learning through play and this shows. Long version: we are new to Edmonton. We signed our sons up for daycare (aged 4 and 18 months) because we had used a daycare in the past with our older son and had a really positive experience. We thought our older son would love daycare as he loves to learn and play with other children. He can be a little bit shy at first but is very social. Well. He HATED this daycare. He dreaded going. He would cry every night before he had to go and cry every morning and was having behaviour issues at the daycare we hadn't seen him have before. The director kept telling me it takes weeks for some children to adjust. So we stuck it out 4 or so weeks but the dread and anxiety our son had about going was palpable and just heartbreaking. So we looked into other options. Fatima took the time to listen to what had been going on and made it clear she would work with us in any way possible to help both boys settle and feel safe and comfortable . We listened to our instincts and moved our older son as soon as possible to Fatima's day home . By the very first day our son was happy and well adjusted. He didn't want to leave when I picked him up! He has no more tears the morning of, or the night before and legitimately looks forward to going. So yes - the day home is clean, there are lots of great toys and activities and the children are well fed and well engaged and looked after. But the most important thing, from our perspective, is that our son is happy going here. Less

They have really made my son happy and that makes me happy and I am want to share with people that they will make sure your child get the best of everything. They speak so politely to people and that makes a difference as well. My son refused other day homes now this is where he always wants to be. We only are able to do drop ins which she has made it possible for that I highly recommend this dayhome to any family you will be amazed as me . Less
Fatima is so lovely. She has a beautiful dayhome facility and is so welcoming and friendly. My husband and I really love her dayhome and our daughter loves it too. Our daughter was also so comfortable with Fatima right away. Highly recommend her dayhome.
Fátima is so welcoming and caring, she loves kids ! her place is very clean , a very nice space for the little ones ! Just like home :)
