What the parents have to say about La Boîte à soleil:

“We want to thank you for all the fantastic care you gave our daughter over the past few years. From the parent activity days to all the cute pictures and mementos, we want you to know we appreciate everything you do there. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for her to learn and grow!”

“Our daughter, was just over a year old when she began her time at La Boite à soliel – Nouvel Horizon. She was not eager to see us leave for work each morning in the first week, but she quickly improved her mood each day, and by her second week in daycare, ran from our arms to ‘les madames’ to play when we would drop her off. She has a particular nap and feeding schedule but Mme Ginette and the caregivers were very accommodating to ensure her schedule at the daycare matched her schedule at home. As toddlers are bound to get bumps and scrapes as they explore their new surroundings, any issues were thoroughly reported to us to ensure we were aware of her misadventures. All of her nutritious meals were freshly prepared each day, and we were notified well in advance if any of her daily supplies were running low (diapers, wipes, etc.). As an opening at another La Boite à soliel Garderie closer to our home became available, we transferred her, but not without great consideration made towards the great attachments she had made to the staff and other children in her poupons group. Thank you to all at LBAS-NH for being so welcoming to our daughter, from her many afternoon visits prior to her first full day to her final performance in the Christmas pageant. With gratitude.”

“All of you are amazing. We truly appreciate all the hard work, dedication, care, intelligence, creativity and love you put into your work. This place is amazing and it is because of each one of you.

“I enrolled my second child in La Boite A Soleil to help prepare him for his first year of school. He had some separation issues, was a late potty trainer, had some verbal difficulties, etc. The staff at the center were fantastic and addressed all of the needs that I expressed. By the first day of school he got right on the bus behind his sister and never looked back. I was so impressed with the socialization and skills that he learned in the center that my third and fourth children have all spent some time there to help them prepare for school. No regrets! It’s local and convenient, the staff are helpful and easy to talk to, and the experience for the children has just been lovely. My kids have all started with some french thanks to La Boite A Soleil. Thank you!!”
