WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CENTRE..
Director is racist, openly told me she wouldn’t hire Indians or Pakistanis (whilst doing the bobble head movements)..
She also said she does not hire male educators..
My son’s very 1st day here, at only 20 weeks old was given water. When I questioned this the 2IC advised they give water to keep them hydrated, I told them NO you do not give a 20 week old baby water.. Nowhere in his enrolment did I stipulate he is drinking water at such a young age..
My baby was here for a total of 18 weeks, multiple times we were at the Doctors with different viruses (even a written support letter from our GP backed this).. I picked my son up for his very last day at 4:30pm, and there was a little boy with green snot running from both nostrils into his mouth.. The director had posted on the app, that any children with signs and symptoms will be sent home.. They do not adhere to their policies..
While my son was off I emailed the centre stating my concerns about the amount of times my son was sick, I got no response.. Upon his return I got the pathetic excuse from the director yet again that my emails were “bouncing”.. Funny how they don’t bounce now that they want my money.. Still didn’t address my email / concerns after this..
I requested a meeting with the owners, to which the reply was picking at my son wearing a teething necklace (3 months after he started wearing it).. Sending me links from red nose which says it’s a “recommendation” not to wear them.. It is NOT a policy or law.. Again, the meeting request with the owners was ignored.. If your child wears jewellery of anytime whether it be religion etc, apparently they do not support this in their centre..
There is multiple students there daily, one afternoon I was asking where my sons clothing, cloth and dummy was.. They looked at my like they didn’t know what I was saying, I was standing there waiting for someone to find his belongings.. Mind you all 3 things were located in different places, except for his bag where they should be..
I didn’t take my son back, the fact they show lack of compassion and care was my last straw.. All they’re worried about is getting those numbers up in their new centre.. The director told me I had to give 2 weeks notice, I said well he won’t be coming back.. She told me if I didn’t come back on the last day I’d have to pay full price fees of $150 a day.. After this I was locked out of my account, when I sent an email requesting my login details so I could pay my account I got no reply again.. I sent a 2nd email and got a reply a couple days later, she sent me their bank details with no response to my login for the app..
At the end of the day, your child is a number to fill their spots in a new centre.. They worry about money and not the germs coming into the centre.. Oh and she also tried to blame the fact I work in a medical centre as to why my son was exposed to such viruses.. I’ve worked in my job for 6.5 years and have 2 older kids and NEVER has their been so much sickness in my home.. Oh and you pay a $200 bond that they also don’t release, they claim to use that for your final weeks but apparently that doesn’t apply to me as I never took my son to that filthy place again..
I have emails to back up all of this if anyone is needing to see how the director attends to your concerns..
