I did my first two placements at this center, and I have to say—it’s one of the best childcare centers in Melbourne. They genuinely follow all the rules and guidelines, and you can feel how much everyone there cares about working with children. The whole team is professional and really warm, and it makes such a difference. My supervisors were fantastic and super helpful. The Center Director, Adele, and the Assistant Director, Fay, are amazing leaders who make everyone feel included and valued. Now that I’m at a different center, I can really see the distinctions between the two environments. Honestly, if I hadn’t moved to a suburb further away, I would have loved to do my final placement there too.
