Who We Are

Recognizing a Need

Nursery Support Services was the first “temp agency” for Child Care centres in Toronto. In 1978, Joyce Greggains, ECE, was a Supervisor working in a busy Child Care centre. She saw first-hand the challenges of keeping her program running smoothly when staff needed time off for vacation or due to illness. So that year she started Nursery Support as a solution. Her daughter, Sarah Newberry, joined in the early 1980s, and was the voice on the phone taking client bookings for many years.

Nursery Support Services Today

Now 40 years and hundreds of Toronto Child Care centres later, we continue to offer experienced, qualified and caring Registered Early Childhood Educators and Early Childhood Assistants. Nursery Support’s carefully chosen staff arrive at our clients with the special skills needed to adapt to a wide variety of programs and people. You, the client can feel comfortable inviting our teachers into your centre knowing all background checks have been done, and that each teacher will arrive with copies of all required professional documents. Nursery Support teachers are current in First aid/CPR Level C and trained under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

As a former Program Advisor with the Toronto Area Office Child Care Unit of the Ministry of Community and Social Services, I have been personally aware of the quality and value to the Child Care Community which Nursery Support Services has provided since it's founding.

- Joyce Devonshire, E.C.E.C

Thank you for sending such a great teacher... the kids still ask for her.

- Jackie MacDonald,
Director Holding Hands Child Care

Thank you for the fine service your agency has provided. I have greatly appreciated your attention to detail and your accessibility. You have an obvious knowledge of daycare and the problems inherent in replacing key staff. Your staff's proffessionalism and capabilities are apparent in their conduct, attitude, and dependability. And most importantly, their interaction with the children. I would not hestitate to recommend your services to other daycares.
