I strongly do not recommend this childcare. The principal is forceful, rude, and unreasonable, shirking responsibility and distorting facts. My child went to this childcare for the first time, and within just two days, was pushed twice by other children, causing her to cry loudly. Now my child does not want to go to childcare and has suffered serious emotional trauma. The principal even justified their actions by referring to their family rules, saying that we violated their principle of teaching other people's children. We only intervened because, at the time, all the teachers saw my child being pushed and no one did anything. If it weren't for the negligence of the educators, we parents wouldn't have interfered. Their rules are not the law. As parents, we have the right to protect our children, regardless of the environment, as long as we are not violating the law. This is our fundamental right. This kindergarten is currently under a two-week investigation by the NSW Department of Education. I advise everyone not to send their children to such an irresponsible kindergarten that can cause physical and emotional harm.
Response from the ownerabout 2 months agoEducators were diligent with their supervision & acted appropriately Situation currently under review with the Education Department due to parent raising their voice & attempting to discipline a child who is not their own in breach of our Parent Code of Conduct.
