Frequently Asked Questions

Lullaboo was founded in 2008 by Irini and Halim Mikhael with the goal of providing high-quality childcare that fosters children’s growth through exploration and play. Their vision was to create a nurturing and safe environment where children could develop essential skills, while also engaging families as partners in the learning process. As a Canadian-owned and operated childcare center, Lullaboo is committed to delivering exceptional care and education to children across Ontario.

At Lullaboo our menu is designed with kids at heart. Health Canada’s document “Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide” is the basis of nutrition in our menu. Our menus are rotated on a four weeks cycle, which provides variety for all of our children. Milk, water, fruits and vegetables are provided with every meal. Of course, substitutes to accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions are available at all our centres. Our full menu is available on our website for ease of reference, on our Nutrition page.

Infant and toddler classrooms are led by a minimum of one teacher with a degree in Early Childhood Education and two teacher assistants. In preschool classrooms of 24 children, two teachers hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and there is one teacher assistant.

All staff members and volunteers are required to have Level C First-Aid & CPR, criminal reference checks and completed health assessments.

Lullaboo believes that children deserve to be surrounded by knowledgeable and qualified educators. Adults, like children, deserve to have the opportunities to further their knowledge and expand on their career aspirations. Lullaboo promotes and supports each staff’s professional development.

Lullaboo requires a written 30-day notice if you are choosing to withdraw your child from our program. For more information, please visit our parents page and read our parents manual

At Lullaboo we believe that we can help children with self-control, self-esteem and positive behavior by providing enriched programs, a safe environment, interactive materials and positive role models in each of our classrooms. We do not condone timeouts or the raising of voices in our classrooms. Teachers discipline children by bringing themselves to the level of the child and speak to them in a calm voice about their behaviour and actions, the teacher then positively redirect the child to another activity. Please see Lullaboo’s Parent Handbook for our full policies.
