The Grove Children's Centre

i completed a placement here so you could imagine i saw all the behind-the-scenes. For one, the-centre is very dirty, and I was shocked that their cleaning was so minimal considering how messy children can get. There was left-over food and dirt all around the children's high chairs, and some food was hard, so i can imagine it had been there for a while. Secondly, my mentor got aggressive when the children would cry for a while; she would slam things around the room out of anger. Thirdly, they had been involved in a serious negligence case where they had left a child on an excursion, and the child roamed around the streets of Coburg for a while and faced a near-death experience where a truck almost hit him. I only heard about this through my mentor, who spent more time gossiping about the director, and other educators than actually interacting with and taking care of the children. She herself said she doesn't trust the majority of the educators here with her own child. I was shocked. I would not recommend this centre; parents beware.
