Great Beginnings Kariong

Great Beginnings has been the best decision, my 3 year old has been going for about 7 months and I’m so glad I chose this centre. The rooms and playground is what initially caught my attention, my son loves being outdoors and the spaces they have created are amazing. The food is great, the programs and attention to detail with communication about what’s going on to parents and about what they doing in each room is fantastic. I love being at work and getting a picture of my son, getting updated on what he’s eating for lunch and what the kids have done that day, not only is it so nice to know what they’re doing, but it's been great to be able to engage in conversations with him at the end of the day. But what makes this centre truly amazing is the staff, they have completely exceeded all my expectations, from assisting me with difficult drop offs, to accommodating his needs to make him feel more comfortable. They’ve consistently given me great updates even down to small details in the day, with so many kids to keep track of this is impressive. Lincoln is pretty shy but the efforts from staff are clear by the bonds he has formed with all them, Laura, Karlee, Brittney, Jemma & Oliva have been wonderful, I can’t speak more highly of them all. Amanda the director is amazing, she’s super friendly and always willing to answer any questions I have and somehow knows all the kids by name! Covid has made things difficult but they have followed all the health procedures and checks, which made us feel a lot more comfortable going back to care after lockdowns. I can't recommend the centre more highly. I look forward to my youngest starting there next year, creating the same bonds and having a blast.
