We feel incredibly grateful to all the educators at Guppy’s Chermside Childcare who have been part of Shreyas’s transition into a new daycare and, more importantly, his amazing adjustment over the past few months.<br>We were so lucky to find Guppy’s by accident, and we are so glad we made the brave decision to change our kid’s daycare when he was just under three years old. Changing environments at that age can feel like a big decision, but from the very beginning, we could see how quickly he settled into his new room — and so much of that is thanks to the incredible educators who welcomed him with such warmth and care.<br><br>A very special thank you to Ms Brie and Ms Indie, who have been absolutely wonderful throughout our journey. They are caring, attentive, focused and informative, while also being incredibly creative, enthusiastic and genuinely happy people. It’s no wonder the children feel so safe, comfortable and happy around them.<br><br>Our kido talks about his educators and friends all the time, and one of the sweetest things for us has been watching him pretend to be his educators while looking after all his toy animals — doing things the same way Ms Brie and Ms Indie do in daycare! We have heard him say so many times that Ms Brie and Ms Indie are his favourite educators, which says everything about the beautiful bond they have built with him.<br><br>What we also truly appreciate is how wonderful all the educators are not only with the children, but also with parents. Communication has always been excellent. They listen to our suggestions, provide regular daily feedback and work collaboratively with us whenever there is a particular habit or behaviour we would like to support with. It genuinely feels like we are all working together wellbeing and development of child.<br><br>The weekly programs are so thoughtful, and you can see the dedication and effort the educators put into everything they do in the room. We especially love how the children are given small daily responsibilities and duties, helping them develop independence, confidence and such wonderful habits from an early age.<br><br>A huge thank you to Ms Brie, Ms Indie, Ms Tegan, Ms Rose and, last but certainly not least, Ms Shruthi for making our journey with Guppy’s such a pleasant, positive and comfortable experience. Thanks for looking after our kido.. thanks to you all we can comfortably go to work.<br><br>A special thank you to Centre Directors Ms Terianne and Ms Stacey for always being available to answer our questions, support us when needed and provide such great leadership to the centre and its educators.<br><br>We truly couldn’t be happier with the decision we made. Seeing him so happy, confident and excited to go to daycare has been the biggest reassurance for us as parents.<br><br>Thank you, Guppy’s , for creating such a warm, caring and nurturing environment for our little one. Again big thanks to Ms Brie and Ms Indie for being amazing Junior kindy educators. We are so grateful to every educator who has played a part in our journey with Guppy’s . ❤️

We have had such a wonderful experience with this kindy. When our son first started, it was a big adjustment for him as he was very emotional, had never been away from us before, and didn’t understand much English. The educators were incredibly patient, caring and supportive, and helped him feel safe and comfortable. We have seen such a beautiful change in him—he has made friends, learned new English words, become more confident and, most importantly, now happily looks forward to going to kindy. We are truly grateful to all the educators for their love, care and support and feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place for him. ❤️
