Yasuko is an amazing caring educator who looked after both of our sons. Our eldest son attended from 9months for three years and our youngest son attended from 1 year old for over two years. Both boys absolutely loved their time with Yasuko and the other children. Yasuko is extremely caring, patient and thoughtful always planning fantastic days for the children and teaching them so much. I know she has had a hugely positive impact on my children’s development, values and helped shape them into the boys they are today. We are forever grateful to have been able to attend her family daycare. We always recommend Yasuko to our friends and acquaintances without hesitation.

Yasuko sensei is reliable and responsible person and my son loved to go to Sakura family daycare for playing with other kids and yaya and Jun Jun as well. My son is Japanese and had a speech delay when started, however she encouraged him both Japanese and English with lots of activities such as singing, craft, some Japanese culture things and now my son likes talking to people. Arigatougozaimashita:)

Our daughter Agnes transferred to Yasuko from another family daycare so we were already familiar with how great the small group format is for children to learn and engage. Yasuko's kind nature and fun personality engaged Agnes straight away, and she was quickly eager to go to 'Yaya' on her daycare days. We loved seeing Agnes progressing her learning and having so much fun, as well as learning some Japanese culture through stories and songs. We all miss Yasuko now that Agnes has gone to kindy! If you have the opportunity to book your child into Sakura Kids, then I highly recommend you do. Yasuko is amazing.

My oldest daughter Alycia started Yasuko when she was about 16months old. Alycia was a baby who didn't like being around people and it didn't matter where she was and who they were. I could hardly take her anywhere without her screeming. Yasuko however always had a positive mind and was very patient with Alycia and tried to encourage me with her happy attitude. After a year or so with Yasuko's help, Alycia really started to blossom and her real personality came through and made it possible to have close friends there, growing in confidence during her 2 years with Yasuko. My second daughter Amelia also had a great year with Yasuko. She also made beautiful friends there and developed her own personality. Yasuko supported my children growing beautifully and myself in many ways. I can't thank Yasuko enough. I Highly recommend Yasuko to any parents who are looking for excellent quality day care for their children.

I cannot recommend Yasuko's family daycare highly enough. Our son, Finn, started going to "Yaya's" 1 day a week when he was only 4 months old as was extremely well looked after for 3 years until it was time to go off to pre-school. During his 3 years of care, Yasuko showed Finn so much love, attention, and guidance that helped shape him into the confident and happy little boy that he is. Sending Finn to Yasuko's gave him such a fantastic start to school life and learning to be around and share with other kids. Finn bonded with Yasuko from day dot and often asks if he can go to Yaya's instead of preschool. Yasuko's house is always immaculately clean and she always has a big smile on her face. She is fantastic at nurturing her daycare kids through important developmental stages and outcomes. She even taught Finn how to count in Japanese! Yasuko uses an app to update parents with pictures and their child's progress during their visits - I just loved receiving photos of his visits! I've recommended Yasuko to a lot of my friends and have already enrolled our yet-to-be-born child #2 in her service. We can't wait to go back to Yasuko's for another 3 years!

Our family can not recommend Yasuko and her amazing day care enough. From the first time we met her over 2 years ago we knew she was the one to take care of our children. Yasuko was lovely and the environment she provided suit our needs. Our 3.5 yr old and 18 month yr old currently attend. The girls are super happy at drop off and sometimes don’t want to leave! The activities they partake in during the days really has helped their development. Yasuko is loving, caring and accommodating. We really feel she loves them like her own. It will be a sad day when the girls leave for school.

My son has been with Yasuko (or Yaya to him) since he was 10months old. He is now 3 and a half and off to pre-school having had the most wonderful start at Sakura Kids Family Daycare. He has had exceptional care, activities, opportunities and fun. He sleeps well there, is so settled, adores Yasuko. He even asks to go to Yaya's on other days! I can't recommend Yasuko highly enough, she is a beautiful person. I felt wholy comfortable leaving my son in her care from Day 1. She is gentle, caring, understanding, professional... I could go on all day. I highly recommend her!
