My kids have been in my care 24/7 since birth, so enrolling my 3yr old in January was difficult, but that uneasy feeling of sending him into the care of another was washed away in an instant by Aline and the team at Early Shepherd. They are a nurturing, communicative, patient, respectful and enthusiastic team. My son has a sense of belonging and security which is essential to me. His development has advanced in many areas in such a short time including; interpersonal skills, independence, life and educational skills and nutritional values. On this, the wide range of nutritious meals prepared onsite is amazing. With their persistence and patience, they have helped increase my son’s limited food list- he started with eating only 20% of the meals offered and is now at 99% (He is adamant about that broccoli!).
Communication is always efficient and articulate and the centre uses a web based platform to allow parents to see daily observations and progressive information which is awesome as a parent for monitoring your child’s progress and for easy print keepsakes.
I love the encouraged parent involvement in the centre’s learning programs, the quality improvement plans, the food menus and the list goes on…. It certainly endorses their ‘open door’ policy!
So, along with convenient parking amenities, clean and new centre facilities, flexibility and all the above just to name a few…. Question is… Why would you hesitate? I didn’t, I enrolled my 2yr old shortly after… they both now run in hand in hand
