"I wanted to introduce the fabulous Donna Martin Toy. She is the director of the Class of West K Learning Center in West Kelowna. My daughter went there one day a week this last learning year and will be going 3 days a week this learning year. I can't rave enough about me and Caia's experience there. Donna and her staff are so loving, accepting, kind and professional. They create learning plans based on where your child is at and they monitor progress daily. Donna, please feel free to add any info about your program and how many spots you have available for next school year". WH
"You were there for us when my Lil man D struggled to say his first words properly. Without you and your compassion for us, I am not sure where we would be. I owe you everything for giving my lil man a voice when he needed it the most". DM
"After much searching we found classofwestk.org. Charles had his first group class and we found a zone our boy could practice some coping life skills. Parents of kiddos with ADHD, autism…if you need a local place to receive much help and support this is the place!! Early mother’s day gift knowing another tool in my kit and support from Donna who made us both feel so welcome". S
"I met Donna in March 2017 after my son had just received his ASD assessment. The moment I drove up to the facility I felt very confident I was making the right decision for my son. The staff was very kind and welcoming. My son who normally struggles with separation, had no problem unloading his backpack and making himself comfortable. We have been going to the Westside centre for over a year and have had nothing but positive experiences! I love the support that my son receives from Donna's team and they are always making sure I am up to date with my son's success and progress. We are looking forward to another year with Donna at the Westside Center!" SK
"I am thrilled to recommend Donna Toy for any position that involves working with children. Donna is a remarkable individual with a rare combination of enthusiasm, dedication, intelligence and creativity. As a behavior interventionist she has a deep understanding of behavior management, proficiency with techniques and works collaboratively with all staff in the school. The students she has been working with have met many of their goals academically and behaviorally. She has keen problem solving skills and compassion.
She has been working with students at our school this year on a regular basis. She has a great rapport with our students aged 6-12, and also works well with the parents. During meetings Donna has been quick to offer helpful solutions to issues in a calm and professional manner that offered insight into the student’s behavior.
I would not hesitate placing any child into Donna’s care, and as a Special Education Teacher I would highly recommend her for working with autistic or other special education students". DFK
