Harrison Early Childhood Centre

This centre needs urgent attention badly. Its so disappointing how the quality has dropped. Educators not recording eating and sleeping times. Using a dirty old sponge to clean milk bottles in the nursery. The published menu is NOT what they are serving to the children every day. They get jam sandwiches for afternoon tea everyday, even the babies. So nutritious. There are zero stories about your child. I honestly had no idea what my child did every day, because when I asked, I got the generic "she had a good day" and nothing more. Only effort i have seen is a physical book outside the nursery, nothing for toddlers or preschoolers. You only get a generic monthly update with two paragraphs for the class about some themed activity. Even worse is when you get the quarterly summative assessment and it has one sentence for each of the 5 learning outcomes. My child was crying at drop off most mornings and I though she was clingy until she went to a new school and loves going. They use an ipad in the nursery to entertain babies, I don't mean just music, I mean a cartoon video to watch at 8am... You can tell which educators care and which ones don't, this is the saddest part. They say they don't have time to write stories, and yet you rock up early and they are always sitting down outside while the children free play. The positives... They encourage open play activities lile sand, blocks, paint, craft etc. They report and action injuries very quickly. They keep equipment in working order and replace furniture as required. Please PLEASE fix this centre for the sake of the kids! I regret not leaving sooner.
