Kidnasium Lawrence Park — Local services in Toronto

Updated October 13, 2023 after seeing Kidnasium response.

Yes your team was concerned about safety but they certainly did not “kindly” ask the city employee anything. They accosted him with aggressive rude language. This request WAS NOT MADE PRIOR to the playtime but as the kids descended upon the playground. The group did NOT assess risks or scan for danger before playing. They ran down the hill and smothered the playground area as the city guy was finishing.

The city employee was nearly done before the kids came and in fact him finishing cleaning the park would have been beneficial to all people. Letting him finish would have been the wise choice.

Two child care workers WERE NOT PRESENT for the entirety of the kids’ visit. For over five minutes one supervision was left to manage over 20 kids. Not safe.

I thought the employee was a teenager because i cannot imagine an adult speaking as she did to anyone!, let alone someone who was trying to clean the playground.

As a parent myself I was shocked to see this behaviour from a child care worker.

Own it.

Warning to all parents. I was shocked and saddened by the behaviour of one of the young teachers at the park today. While at the nearby park a city employee was cleaning the playground with a leaf blower. He was nearly done when the leader allowed 20 plus kids to descend on the playground while dust and noise were bellowing out of the machine. The young teacher then rudely confronted the city guy by saying “you got eyes?, I got eyes, my kids here got eyes, you should have eyes too.” He responded politely saying he was cleaning it for the kids and she said “shut up you dont work for me.” The city guy minded his manners but this young “lady” continued to be rude and confrontational. It was a horrible example to kids. He was just doing his job, cleaning up the park, and was almost done when this happened.

Not to mention while we were there observing this, for about five minutes there was one teenage girl sheepherding the 22 kids from this daycare. I was blown away by this childcare...

Fraudulent billing , after cancelled our children's monthly classes on September 14th by email , they still continue to bill our credit card. They don't refund to kid, even had no lessons after paid.

Our daughter did a week of swimming summer camp through Kidnasium. While we believe in supporting local businesses, we were very. very disappointed with Kidnasium. After multiple poor interactions with an exceptionally unprofessional “manager”, we were finally able to connect with the owner to voice our concerns. While the owner was understanding and seemingly pleasant, it really was just lip-service because she never followed up. I believe they have a number of great employees so in general your experience should be fine however if you happen to deal with the unprofessional manager that we encountered…good luck! To the owner…by not following up on our convo really showed how a lack of professionalism is tolerated at Kidnasium. Truly...
