We love so many things about Serenity Cove: the calm, nurturing environment; the connection that Ocean builds between the children and nature; the thought and care that goes into the choice of toys and activities; the 'extras' like music lessons and field trips; the way Ocean encourages the children's individuality and creativity. Every day, Annika comes home with a story about a discovery they made, or a special interaction with the other children or Ocean and Kelsey. It's really very simple: she loves going, and we love to take her there; we can't imagine a better childcare scenario or a childcare provider in whom we could have more faith and trust.

Ahhh! The smell of fresh baked bread or cookies warm out of the oven, the sound of happy children busy playing, and the sight of all the beautiful angelic faces eager to experience their day at Serenity Cove Children's Centre. It's a beautiful thing to behold and so comforting knowing that our precious Faith is well taken care of. Ocean and Chris provide a warm and beautiful natural setting where the children are loved and nurtured to their fullest with a rhythm throughout the day that supports them on all levels. Faith comes home glowing from the fresh air and is happy and content. This is a sure sign that Ocean provides a heart connection to the child and is not just a job for her. We are ever so grateful that we have found the perfect place for Faith to grow and explore the world away from home.

We feel so lucky to have found Serenity Cove and Ocean Kneeland. Our daughter started going to Serenity Cove just after her second birthday amidst many new challenges in her life: a move, a new home and a new baby brother. Ocean's patience, kindness and gentle manner allowed my daughter to feel secure and happy in her first daycare experience. She absolutely loves going and often doesn't want to leave. My daughter is also extremely fond of Kelsey, another one of the caregivers there, who has a lovely, gentle disposition. We couldn't be happier than to have happened upon Serenity Cove.

We are so thankful that we found Serenity Cove as our son Ethan's daycare. Everyday is an adventure of the mind, heart and soul. Ocean, Chris and Kelsey create a calming and nurturing environment for all the children. They are not just Ethan's childcare providers they are truly his extended family.

I am incredibly fortunate to have found Ocean and Serentiy Cove Child Care. The creative play and outdoor exploration is exactly what I was looking for. Ocean's love of children is evident. Allowing children to be curious in a safe and healthy environment has made it so my son never wants to leave. Thank you Ocean and Chris for what you do.

Jiya looks forward to attending Serenity Cove each week. She loves the activites (painting, reading, outside time) that they engage in routinely. She receives consistent, quality care.

Ocean's calm, nurturing and highly respectful way with each individual child displays her deep awareness of developmentally appropriate techniques of guidance.

Both my husband and I felt the beautiful atmosphere when we first entered Serenity Cove Children's Centre. Sharing similar values, taking time for each individual child, doing art work and being included in everyday tasks, was what we were looking for. Emmy and Hanna became so comfortable with Ocean in such a short time that they fully trust her and openly share their needs. At night, the girls always tell us what they did and how much fun they had.We could not ask for a better or more loving environment for our children!

Ocean is very calm, patient and generous with children. She is a good communicator and problem-solver and so can guide the children through conflict, helping them figure out why they are upset and how they would feel better.
