Significant abuse occuring in this daycare. Concerns: Huge lack of transparancy with no communication (see google reviews of her other Zebra Crossing location in North for more info on this from others as well) left me feeling uneasy about the whole situation and we always felt like they were trying to hide information from parents. As soon as we left the daycare, thats when I found out what was truly happening when my child was attending from current and previous teachers. Teachers are asked to sign non disclosure of daycare operations (which isnt allowed) and the owner constanly reminded them of it to promote fear. The constant theme of concerns that i was told were regarding RATIO and FOOD SHORTAGE. the ratio was very often off, leaving the children with little supervision or attention to their needs. For confirmation of this, google “alberta child care lookup” search for Zebra and you will see the MANY recent investigation and non compliances supporting this. As of September 2022, they have a SUSPENDED LICENCE due to major incidents and validating every concern listed here. As for food, I knew something was up when they wouldnt send the menu to parents from June to August as it wasn’t “finalised”. I was told by the previous director (that quit due to concerns) that the owner wasnt allowing the menu to be sent to parents and now I know its because they didnt have a chef, didnt follow the menu or even have proper amount of food to feed children. I was informed that they often ate the same meals and there were days were there was little to no food and when teachers contacted the owner she would say “stretch what you have, shipment only comes on tuesday” and wouldnt provide support. I was told that the “worst” day of food shortage, babes ate oatmeal for breakfast lunch and snacks. I was told that they were so low on food that they thought of using the teachers lunches to feed the babes. We were told there would be a Chef, ive never seen a chef and was told there wasnt a chef, one of the teacher needed to leave class (leaving them off ratio) to cook meals for the children. No amount of work or “improvement” could help me understand how this woman sleeps at night knowing that ratio is often off leaving kids with improper supervision and kids have no food, they need to “stretch out” what they have leaving them to eat oatmeal. They promote being an “academic” facility but have two non compliance of lack of supervision and not meeting childrens needs. Another worry and comon issue is teachers bringing the “wrong” child to “wrong” parents at pick up. Which happened to us and two other mothers that I am aware of. Luckily, I happened to be walking up to pick up my child while a teacher tried to give my child to another father. Until owner takes accountability and demonstrate transparency I would avoid. To further explain on the lack of transpantacy/accountability most positive reviews only appeared recently due to her wanting to “flush” out bad reviews from other parents whove experience the same as we did. Most positive reviews are all from teachers as well. They will tell you what you want to see/hear to get you in, which is what happened to us and we will forever regret this decision. Overall a lottttttt of concerns, not only limited to supervision and lack of food but lack of transparency, lack of communication, lack of consistency for babes, lack of parent teacher relationship and lack of trying to see you or your child as anything more than a number/ monthly income. There is also a huge lack in child development, child observation and child consideration.

Rating due to registration issues. We thought we liked the facility from what we saw online and attempted to pay our child's fees and sign up before seeing the place in-person (figuring we have the money right now, so if we didn't like it, we could still pay the school for his time, take him out of the school, then still look elsewhere for schools). The school insisted we visit in person before signing him up, so we did. The week leading to, and the business day before our tour in-person, they said they had spots available, so once in person, we asked again to pay our fees and sign up our child. Instead of allowing us to sign up and pay his fees, the owner had us fill out forms we said we already provided and they told us to wait to hear from them. Thought that was odd, but we did it and we didn't hear back. We emailed to check in and they said we now had to be waitlisted for $125... Maybe they're disorganized, maybe they just plain didn't like the sight of us when they saw us, I don't know. Either way, not impressed, going elsewhere. We're new here and I hope the rest of the city is nicer than this. Otherwise, the facility is clean, and the lunch lady was very nice.

Great Experience!! From the meet and greet , to one level floor plan/cleanliness, great day to day communication and friendly caretakers/educators our son has thrived in the Zebra Academy Crossing environment. The ability to teach and care for our son on an individualized basis has exceeded our expectations versus the common grouping and learning simply based on age and standard teaching and caretaking approaches. We were pleasantly surprised to see our son look forward to daycare and even wanting to go on weekends haha Rest assured if you choose Zebra Academy Crossing your child will be taken care of while being challenged to grow and learn with different strategies and approaches based on what works best for your child.We’re thankful to have found this daycare and highly recommend it.

The rating for management and teacher stuff of Mahogany location, it's super frustrating when you realize when no one of them doesn't have a common sense of judgement when kid has some real symptoms and has to be sent home, it happens to us second time in the last 6 months when they call me and send my daughter home when she is free from any symptoms, they require written notice from doctor with no real reason for that, I promise this can be a good reason NEVER to send your kid there, as you can find yourself constantly to prove that your kid is healthy ($80 cost for written notice from doctor). Hope this review will help to somebody to prevent that big stress on dealing with such unprofessional and not enough educated stuff.

My kid did not end up in ZCA. When I contacted them in Oct/Nov 2022 asking for a spot in Feb/Mar 2023, they seemed positive and reassured me that there were openings - asked me to pay the priority waitlist $150 which I did. Got an email in December saying that we will be informed of placement in 2 weeks - that was it! I was depending on them for childcare March onwards and I kept emailing and they kept saying they are full. They contacted me 2 weeks back saying they have a spot 3 days per week from JUNE!!! Very unreliable - the initial strategy of 'yes we have a spot' was to entice people to pay for the priority waitlist and then they disappear on you.

This is the best daycare to put your children in based on my previous experiences. My daughter started here in June and she has grown and learned so much from this place. She actually looks forward to going and she tells me how caring all of the staff is. I had a chance to go in and meet the teachers as well as evaluate the environment and I knew it was the right place based on the cleanliness and staffs amazing attitude. I am so glad that I found a daycare this organized and caring. I recommend this place for anyone who is looking to settle down with a trustworthy daycare.

my son has been attending ZCA since september and I must say to all the parents who've been looking for the best care, then this place would be great match for you, all your desires will be satisfied. The staff is very professional, caring and able to work according to the kids needs and abilities, and provide a good, positive environment for them. The food is healthy and so yummy my kids enjoy a lot and they are so happy to go everyday to school .

This is an amazing facility - from the moment you walk in you are amazed at the structure - it is very well planned out and put together and the paintings in the room brighten up the place. The school is based on Montessori but also implements Reggio and Waldorf. It is very organized and the team is very friendly and well educated. If you live in the area then this is place to be I highly recommend this school as it is brand new.

They are not good so bad I have been now one month call them and send them email but still no reply. When you put your kids so fast reply and answer you but when you want to stop your kids for medical problem they stop to reply any more. By the way my daughter was went there even water and food they not reminder her to eat how come she eat and know about that and she is small. I not recommend for any family put them kids there.

My son had an amazing experience in zebra crossing panorama branch. I am so glad they opened a branch in south as well. They truly know how to work with children and provide best learning environment. The most hardworking and dedicated teachers I have ever seen among all the programs all my kids have ever attended. I highly recommend zebrascorring academy to everyone. You will never regret

Zebra crossing academy Montessori is a superb school. The Montessori program allows each child to progress at his or her own pace. Careful attention is paid not only to academic excellence but also to development of organizational skills, self-discipline, and emotional intelligence. All the teachers are extraordinary, dedicated, and creative.I highly recommend this wonderful school.

What an amazing facility this is, a lot of thought has gone into this facility mainly taking the children's perspective into consideration. I had the opportunity of the meeting the owner, the supervisor and two teachers, was very impressed by their commitment and knowledge. I wish them every success and really glad that my grandson is part of this educational environment.

Amazing facility. My son started here in January and is loving the change. If you want a daycare that fosters intellectual growth and promotes independence for the older children to be leaders, this is the place to go. Everyday my son comes home with something new that he learned in school. Highly recommend.

A reviewer said this perfectly the positive reviews are probably friends of the owner. We had our kid go and pulled her after three months. Immediately had the vibe of a for profit not for kids place. If you go here wish you all the best. But probably won't take you long either to get a similar vibe.

We are super happy with the care and love our som receives at this location. I know it has only been few months since he started but he is turning into a more confident child. The learnings he draws from inspired curriculums are really commendable. A big g thumps up to you Zebra Crossing!

Zebra has been incredibly for my daughter. The staff is nice and caring and I can see the growth and learning every day. My daughter has been going there for 8 months and I couldn't ask for a better place for her.

Look up their list of complaints and non compliance on the alberta childcare lookup website. They do not feed the kids enough, lack of supervision, they are constantly breaking rules and underfeeding kids.

My son goes to daycare at this location, staff are friendly and parents can tell they work really hard during this difficult time. Really appreciate all they do for our kid to keep them safe.

Zebra Crossing Academy is a fun, safe and sanitary place for children to be encouraged to grow and learn on a daily basis. Good curriculum and staff promote the foundation of early learning.
