The Grove Academy - Dapto 1

My children have had the most wonderful experience with The Grove academy. We have attended Mount Annan, Wollongong and Dapto across the last 5 years. Dapto has been so accomodating in supporting some big adjustments in my eldest child's life and emotions that coincide with that. The management staff are responsive to all concerns and take all feedback on board and act on it instantly. I urge people to take reviews with a grain of salt and take a look for yourself with a centre tour.

Despite what I have read amongst the reviews here I must disagree with a common theme amongst the 1 star. I have been lucky enough to have all 3 of my children attend the Dapto 1 campus for the last 2 years. One of our children is certainly more hyper active then some children that attend the centre but we have had nothing but assistance to help set up strong routines and work out ways to assist his transition to into kindergarten this year. I drop my children off everyday with absolute confidence that Paige along with her team of educators will ensure the safety and learning needs of my kids. I have had my children enrolled in other centres before where I ended up pulling them out and cutting back work as I didn’t feel my kids were more than an income to these centres. The Grove Academy goes above and beyond in every aspect in my opinion.

The moment my children started at The Grove Academy Dapto 1, they were happy and were always shown care and were involved in many fun and educational experiences across the day. I have noticed such a change in their learning and development. My daughter was guided in the year before she started kindergarten and was ready to take it head on thanks to the dedicated educators and my son has done so well in learning to communicate and feels safe and supported in his environment and loves going. I would recommend dapto 1 to anyone.

So extremely grateful for their Director and all Educators. They have been so supportive to both myself and my son during some challenging times. They continue to support him during those behaviours and are always so positive, kind and caring towards not only him but all the other children in the room. They have been so supportive and inclusive of myself upon returning to the workforce while exclusively breastfeeding my baby. The educators are always so kind, friendly and handovers upon pick up are always so amazing. Would highly recommend.
