Every day at drop-off, I feel thankful that we found Cubbyhouse three years ago. The educators show such real, genuine care for each child as an individual, and for their development as well. As a parent, there really isn’t much more you could ask for.
Our child has now moved through all the rooms, and while each educator brings their own style, there’s a consistent approach across the centre: calm, perceptive and respectful towards the children. Their strong understanding of early childhood development shows in the way they support and respond to each child.
Now that our child is older, we hear a lot more about what happens during the day from learning activities to funny moments, and especially about the interactions he and his classmates have with their educators. Through his stories, it’s clear how important those relationships are to him. They’re continually supported by educators who are consistently genuine, engaged, and thoughtful.
A great example is how educators interact with children of all ages, not just those in their own room, in the shared outdoor playground. We very much appreciate the effort by educators that goes into fostering ongoing connection with children. It’s also made possible by the long tenure of many staff. Most of the educators who were there when we started are still there now.
The centre itself has a calm, steady feel. There’s a clear sense of routine and rhythm.
I continue to be impressed by the care and thought that goes into everything, from the environment and relationships to the way transitions are handled. It all feels very intentional. Cubbyhouse is a place where children are treated with respect, where learning happens in many forms, and where kids genuinely enjoy being.
