From the moment we walked into The Green Elephant, we felt at home.

The educators are warm, attentive, and truly invested in every child’s growth. Our son has blossomed in confidence, made wonderful friends, and comes home excited to share his day. The Green Elephant’s approach is thoughtful and nurturing, and we’re so grateful to be part of this community."

Waterloo Parents

The Green Elephant has been a second home for our daughter since she was 10 months old. The educators genuinely know each child’s personality and needs.

We love the outdoor spaces, creative activities, and how included we feel as parents. Every day she comes home happy, confident, and full of stories. Their philosophy is embedded in everything they do, and it shows in how our daughter is thriving. We couldn’t imagine her early years anywhere else."
