I serve on the Board of Directors for a non-profit daycare which hired Sandra to help the daycare staff, administration and Board navigate through challenging times, when COVID pushed everyone to their limits. Sandra immediately helped us to identify what needed to be done, made it happen, and continues to provide support when our lean operation needs it. She really knows how to get things done, applying her years of experience in seemingly every area of childcare to resolve any situation quickly. Thanks, Sandra - your value is undeniable!

Sandra Vella, what can I say? Her services arrived at our center during the wild Covid ordeal. She came into the center, looked for unresolved issues and sorted them out with urgency. I'd guess most consulting businesses might linger but Sandra comes in to do her job, sees it through and hands over the keys. She still checks in and is invested to make sure that the changes made are continuing to move the center forward. Thank you for the work you've done.
Dear Sandra,
I can’t even begin to thank you enough for all of your support and everything that you have done for our daycare and me personally. You are very knowledgeable and due to your expertise, you were very quick to resolve issues and get the job done. I am grateful for having the chance to work with you and I have learned so much from you. Thank you for always being there to support me and for always teaching me new things along the way. I highly recommend your services. You will be greatly missed!
Thank You for Everything,
Hang

Dear Sandra,
I sincerely thank you for the support you gave through Daycare Consulting Services.
Since the first day of my new home daycare, you helped me with suggestions and advice, allowing me to provide even higher quality care to young children. In addition, you were readily available to provide ongoing support. Above all, you have respected and valued me as an independent business partner, which bolstered my self-confidence in operating my own business.
Thank you.

"When it came time to finding child care for my son and then my daughter, I knew I wanted to put them in home daycare. Daycare Consulting Services (formerly J&F) was recommended to me and it was the best decision to go with them. They helped me to find very timely and professional care close to home, as well as flexible hours that are compatible with my schedule. Due to various circumstances, we were connected with 3 wonderful Providers; Maryam, Zeinab and Sarah. With fewer children in a home daycare, my children benefited from a warm and peaceful environment, personalized attention and also got to know the Providers as extended family. Every Provider opened their hearts and their homes to my children. I feel like Maryam, Zeinab and Sarah knew my children well and would always be willing to chat with me about what they did that day, how they ate, how they slept and fun anecdotes. As a parent, you wish to know how your child is growing, changing and developing and I was always given daily details. I truly feel like they treated my children as their own, with a passion and enthusiasm that can't be matched. At the end of the day my kids were always smiling and well fed and they could not wait to come back the next day. Daycare Consulting Services does an exceptional job at connecting you with quality Providers and allowing you to relax and feel comfortable that your children are in a safe and loving place to play. They always communicated clearly and promptly. I am truly sad that our daycare journey is coming to an end, but will forever have great memories!"
I highly recommend Sandra Vella, Daycare Consulting Services, to anyone interested in starting up a daycare. Sandra is a consummate professional and on the cutting edge of the daycare industry. She is vastly knowledgable, sensitive and flexible to clients' needs, and skilled in navigating the complex legal system and levels of government. On behalf of our Board of Directors, we appreciate Sandra for partnering with us as we explored our options. I personally invite prospective clients to consider adding Sandra to your team of experts. You will not find a better consultant in the Greater Toronto Area!

Dear Sandra
Thank you for ALL your amazing work in coordinating EVERYTHING & EVERYONE! We truly appreciate all of your hard work, especially in getting Griffin into little Footsteps. We don't know where we'd be without your connection here.
Thank You! Thank You!
Thank you for everything you do to keep this place not only running smoothly but better than ever in its last year. We are hugely grateful for all you did to go above and beyond and maybe even more so for securing such a smooth transition to a new daycare. your hard work definitely hasn't gone unnoticed and we are really appreciative
What can I say? its been quite a ride and you deserve a monument. I honestly cant find the words to thank for everything you have done for our families.
You are a superstar and we will never forget your help through this transition. We will miss you immensely.
I have been working with Sandra on getting my childcare licensing. She is always quick to respond, have a wealth of knowledge and well connected in the industry. She has guided me through the intricate process of childcare licensing and have been so patient with me. I could not have done this without her support, knowledge and guidance. I would recommend Sandra and her services to anyone who is looking at starting a childcare location.
I have met Sandra almost 5 years ago when i was looking for childcare for my first son. She facilitated interviews with numerous providers, provided information and guidance to calm first time mom and assist in my choice. From day one, Sandra has always responded to me extremely quickly in knowledgeable and accurate manner.
I have since learned to rely on her for any child inquiry and advice even in general non my son specific terms. I am extremely great-full to have had Sandra lead me through placing a firstborn in childcare as well as look forward to continuing relationship as i introduce my second born to this process. I would not consider entrusting my second son’s wellbeing to anyone but Sandra.
Today I’ve got the first ever gift from my son – a hand-made picture-application for Mother’s day they’ve made with Sarah :-) It was soooo touching!
I enjoy all the art and hand-made works they do with Sarah. I’ve seen the pictures of the process and I was presented with results 🙂 I enjoy their outdoor play and glad to see my child as happy as he can be. He learned many new things. When I took him home yesterday, he sang a song, so cute!
Sarah is fantastic person, Fedir likes her so much, she is very kind, attentive and compassionate and knows how to deal with kids so that they adore her.
I’d like to say thank you once again for connecting me with Sarah!
Sarah is a great caregiver, my daughter started day care just a few days before turning one year old, and I was mostly scared about how someone else would put her down for her nap, while taking care of other kids as well, since I was holding her until she feel sleep. Sarah was able to help Nina to sleep by herself in only a few weeks, and this had a great effect on her night sleep too!
I got so happy with that. Also, I can say that her food is so good, that my daughter eats a lot better now and was able to put some weight, thing that at first was hard for her to achieve.
Sarah has taught my daughter to sing nursery rhymes (that she loves it), everyday kids have a great time because she always brings interesting toys for them to explore.
On warmer days my daughter, just after breakfast, even asks Sarah to put her shoes on and go play outside. I know that she loves Sarah so much because she blows kisses to her everyday when I go pick her up. I would strongly recommend Sarah to be a caregiver for your little one too.Sarah is a great caregiver, my daughter started day care just a few days before turning one year old, and I was mostly scared about how someone else would put her down for her nap, while taking care of other kids as well, since I was holding her until she feel sleep.
