We also offer a full day program on School Holidays, PD days and through the summer. We will make every effort to provide care on days when the bus is cancelled, however we can not guarantee that we will have staffing.

We will let parents of school age children know by 8:00 am through Lillio if we will be able to offer a full day program. In the event that we are unable to offer a full day program and parents choose to use our before and after school service, it is the parents responsibility to transport their child(ren) to and from school.

We love MDNS!

We love MDNS! We felt so comfortable and confident with our little in their care, we’ve finally been able to stop searching elsewhere because we know our child is in the best hands possible! Our little one looks forward to going every morning! We’re grateful for such a wonderful daycare experience
