Hillsdale Child Care Centre

Unfortunately, our experience with this daycare was very disappointing. During our time there, we noticed significant concerns with our child’s development. She was not speaking much, lacked confidence, and would become extremely distressed every morning when it was time to go — crying consistently at drop-off. The environment didn’t seem supportive or engaging enough to help her thrive, and there was little improvement despite our efforts to communicate our concerns. After a change in management, things only got worse. The new director was unapproachable and dismissive, which made it difficult to raise or resolve any issues. The only good thing about this daycare was the outdoor space. Since moving our child to a different centre, we’ve seen a dramatic improvement — she’s speaking more, is much more confident, and actually looks forward to going each day. This experience made it clear just how important the right environment is for a child’s early development. I wouldn’t recommend this daycare based on our experience, but I do hope they take feedback seriously and make improvements for the sake of other families.
