Long Jetty Preschool

Our experience with this preschool was deeply disappointing, especially as a family with a child who has additional needs. We enrolled with the understanding that the centre would provide an inclusive and supportive environment, but that was not the case. Our son was regularly sent home early due to difficulties with regulation. Instead of offering support to help him through these moments, it felt like he was being pushed out. The environment seems suited only to children who are quiet, compliant, and able to follow all expectations without any flexibility. This is a serious concern for families of neurodivergent children or those who need extra support. In our view, there was a lack of genuine inclusion. We eventually had no choice but to withdraw our son, and we have lodged a formal complaint with the Department of Education. I would strongly advise other families of children with additional needs to look elsewhere. Monique, every child deserves a place where they are supported, understood, and accepted for who they are.
