As a parent, I can confidently say that our experience with this center has been nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we first stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and respect by the centre manager, who went out of her way to assist us in every possible manner. Our children were really happy whenever they got picked up from school and the teacher were extremely helpful when dropping them off in the mornings, making them feel comfortable. Throughout our time at Great Beginnings, we've witnessed firsthand the positive impact the teachers have had on our children. They foster an environment of learning and creativity. It's evident that each of our kids were treated as individuals with their unique needs and strengths recognized and nurtured. The dedicated teachers including the centre manager, made it a truly exceptional place for our kids to begin their journey of learning and growth. They have truly lived up to their name.

My oldest was at Great beginnings until he went to primary school. Very nervous at the start but Soula continued to give us feedback on his development. The other staff really helped by introducing themselves and building a warm relationship with my son. After my oldest had left, it had been several years until our next son was ready to come Great Beginnings. It was an obvious choice for us. My second child is now with Great Beginnings and I didn’t even think twice. Now I’m building a stronger relationship with the team here. Great beginnings has become our second home and has made our lives much easier as my kids confidence has grown. It’s going to be hard to see my son leave to primary school as I will miss the amazing team of educators here. Both kids were looked after by almost the same teachers and we couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend for new families or those looking for a dedicated team to take care of your loved ones.

We did alot of research and inspections and by far happy with our enrollement. All educators are warm, caring and thoughful. It only took a couple of months for our child to warm up to enjoy going to childcare. He loves it now! Can't thank the team enough.
