Kindy Patch Grovely

After a terrible experience with an early childhood education service with our eldest, finding the right service for our family became incredibly important to us. After visiting and touring so many centres, I happened to come across Kindy Patch and the rest, as they say, is history.<br><br>Since 2020, Kindy Patch has been such an important part of our family’s village. Over the years, three of our children have been welcomed, supported and nurtured here, each with their own unique needs and challenges.<br><br>Our middle daughter started Kindergarten still in nappies due to medical issues, and within that year, with the patience, understanding and support of her educators, she became fully toilet trained and ready to take the next step into Prep.<br><br>Our son arrived as a non-verbal senior toddler (junior kindy) and left Kindergarten as a wonderfully chatty four-year-old. Watching his confidence, communication and personality blossom has been something we will always treasure.<br><br>And then there’s our youngest, who has always found separation incredibly difficult. Yet somehow, every time, she has found comfort and security here. The arms of her educators have become her second home, a place where she feels safe, loved and understood.<br><br>Kindy Patch has been so much more than an early childhood service to our family. They have been part of our village, our support system and some of the most important years of our children’s lives. They have celebrated our children’s achievements, supported them through their challenges and loved them for exactly who they are.<br><br>As our journey with Kindy Patch slowly comes to an end, I honestly don’t know what we will do without them. The thought of leaving a place that has been such a constant in our lives since 2020 is incredibly bittersweet.<br><br>We will be leaving with an enormous amount of gratitude, countless memories and a very full heart. We will miss our Kindy Patch family more than words can say, and we will be forever grateful for the role they have played in helping our children grow, flourish and become the little people they are today.
