Greenwood Point Cook

My son started at Greenwood Point cook almost an year ago when he was 11 months and I am beyond happy on how he has evolved. He started off as a shy baby who was reluctant to eat solids or drink milk via bottle and took his own time of 2-3 months to settle in. During that time, what I loved was that educators went at his pace to ease him into new place even if it meant extra cuddles and lots of time spent in their arms. I am so thankful to them to let me come down for breastfeeds during that time because I understand how the child can get upset after watching parent leave them again apart from morning drop off. And how difficult it gets for the educators to settle the child back. Over the course of last year, he has grown in terms of his willingness to try different foods, being chatty and cheeky self and has grown fond of all the educators that he feels safe and happy to be with them. Cannot stress on how accommodative the educators have been to help my little one get better at eating. It meant trying different options of food, giving alternatives when he is not eating the offered meal and offering food at times other than designated mealtimes. I understand how challenging it is to employ these strategies alongside caring for other children and appreciate how they did it remarkably. Whether it was my concern based on medical advice for my little one or settling my little one in new room during transition, it was all addressed with compassion from them. What I can say is that when a parent sends their child to a childcare, the most important of all aspects is that the child should thrive and not just be settled enough before you pick them. And that is what I am most relieved about here at Greenwood Point cook. I can confidently say that he not only just is fine and settled there but thriving and I credit the educators in helping that happen. Thank you to each of the educators for all that you do and appreciate how challenging your jobs are.
