I cannot recommend Benowa Early Learning Centre highly enough. My child has had a tough time at daycare due to frequent sickness (I know what your thinking, no it’s not a grubby centre, he has special needs and is prone to them.) We had a major transition when we moved interstate and he started at the Centre a week after his second birthday, having never been in daycare before, I was beyond anxious about leaving him in someone else's care as I returned to work. However, from day one, he immediately bonded with two of his educators, which was a huge relief for me. Even though those educators moved away, the other staff were incredibly caring and committed to helping my son feel comfortable. They took the time to understand his needs, especially during drop-off when it is hardest for him.
The educators have always been incredibly responsive to my specific instructions, whether it’s about his medication, shoes, or ensuring food is left for him when we run late after appointments. While there are occasional little things like missing socks—something that happens in every daycare and even in my own home—it’s a minor issue that doesn't overshadow the outstanding care and attention my child has received.
I wholeheartedly recommend Benowa Early Learning Centre and would definitely send any future children there. Their dedication to each child’s well-being and growth is something that stands out and I truly appreciate the level of care my child has received.
