If you’re looking for a childcare centre that really cares about your children’s emotional, spiritual, cognitive and physical health and wellbeing - OAC Highpoint is the place to send them. Raj, the centre manager, is absolutely amazing with how she manages the centre and she has second to none centre management assistance from Rachel. Both have gotten to know my children very well and have shown through their actions time and time again how much they care. One of my kids graduated from kinder last year who has autism, all the staff, especially the kinder teacher Kate and other educators like Shamima, Aaron, Gabby, Mina and Hien have always gone above and beyond to support my child in his kinder journey and their sibling who was in the toddler room last year. They now support my second child who started kindergarten this year. As a parent you don’t really know what you’re looking for when you need to find a childcare. This is why I’m going to list everything I’ve noticed about OAC Highpoint and the kind of service they provide: The centre teach real world skills and school readiness skills to the children through excursions with the kids to parks and within the shopping centre, having sessions with the chef to learn how to cut fruit safely and even make colourful pancakes! (Btw Maggie the chef is a superstar!). They plan learning goals and review/update the learning goals every month. I also get daily updates via a digital diary where I can see photos of what my child participated in and a log of their food intake, nappy change, toilet training, sunscreen use - pretty much most things that they have done during the day. This is a great relief for parents, especially if it’s your first time leaving your kids at a childcare. I also call the centre if I am feeling anxious because I’m the one having separation anxiety just to see if they’re okay. I think I stopped doing that after the second week when we first started going there 😅 The best thing about OAC Highpoint is that when it comes to giving children their agency, nurturing critical thinking and making decisions for themselves, they follow the child’s lead. My second little one attending is quite strong-willed in nature and always feels comfortable because they are allowed to be who they are and this for me is the best thing I can ask for from educators who spend the full week with them. Not to mention, my little one is now teaching me yoga because they do this regularly at kindergarten! Thank you for everything, OAC Highpoint! 😊 you’re so appreciated by our family. I would definitely recommend you guys to anyone looking for an amazing childcare for their child.
