Reviews for The Learning Sanctuary Footscray

Antony Sowards5 months ago

Our son has been attending for three months in the Nursery room and we have been overwhelmed at the effort the educators and management have made to help him settle in – right away from the Orientation sessions, to helping us from a two- to a one-nap schedule, right to this day. Everyone knows his name and are knowledgeable about how he has been doing. The activities and special days are varied and age-appropriate. We get regular updates and photos on the app with how the day is going and what activities have happened. As a parent I feel listened to, both in quick chats with the educators on drop-off/pick-up, but also via email contact with the management when needed.

Response from the owner5 months ago
