Dina provides exceptional care. My 3.5yo son has been cared for by Dina for the past 1.5 years and she has become a close and valuable relationship in our family's life. Prior to attending Dina's, my son tried 2 large centres (both with high ratings) and failed to create relationships which allowed him to feel safe (drop-off never improved even after 18 months) and he never felt confident enough to express himself. Dina supported us to do lots of stay and plays before starting to help him feel familiar. When it came to his first day he felt ready and he quickly assimilated into the community. He now has a strong sense of community identity, lots of confidence, and is always happy to stay - even insisting that I pick him up late so he can stay even longer. My second son, who is 1.5yo, started a few weeks ago and practically pushed me out the door, relieved to finally get to stay for the day rather than leave with me after drop-off. There is good reason for my sons enjoying Dina's so much. She has constructed a warm environment full of invitations for play and creativity - regularly extending on the children's interests. Both the indoor and outdoor areas are highly immersive. Dina also takes the children out for walks to local parks as well as excursions to the museum. There is a clear emphasis on caring for their friends, as Dina supports them to talk through challenges with each other to find solutions, have opportunities for 'show and share', and being aware of how their behaviour can impact the group - the result has been children who are highly considerate, kind, and able to celebrate their friends' successes. I feel grateful that my children get to be surrounded by children who are such shining examples of positive friendships. Dina has always welcomed and been receptive to any feedback, tailoring her care to the individual child and family. Her space is always impeccably clean. Her service has been reliable, with only 1 sick day since we've started! Communication is amazing, with daily stories - including tonnes of photos, quick message replies, and in-depth information specific to my children's experience of the day. I highly recommend Dina!!

At the end of last year, we had the privilege of meeting Dina during a tour of her family day care. From the moment we stepped through the door, we felt an incredible sense of belonging. Dina exudes warmth and gentleness in everything she does. Dina has an extraordinary capacity for love and kindness, which shines through in everything she does. It is clear that she deeply adores and cherishes the children she cares for. We are profoundly grateful that Dina has become part of our youngest child’s life. Separation has always been challenging for our little one, but Dina’s patience, compassion, and unwavering support have made all the difference. Thanks to her nurturing approach, our child settled far more quickly than we could have hoped. Dina’s exceptional communication and dedication to providing a rich variety of engaging activities throughout the day set her apart. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the needs and interests of every child in her care are met. Dina is truly a treasure, and we feel so fortunate to have her part of our family.

Dina is AMAZING! She has created an environment of warmth and learning. My son is able to build his skills with reading, writing, craft and building while also learning to be a good and kind human. Dina is open about planning and is responsive to kids needs. There is a focus on care for the environment which helps to make the kids active citizens. I would highly recommend Green Kids of Kedron to anyone.

Our daughter loves going to Dina's, and is always highly excited both before and after her days. No worries with separation anxiety at all (for her, or us!). Dina genuinely cares for her kids, and fosters a beautiful community.

Dina is a magical unicorn. The level of care that Dina offers is simply unmatched and unsurpassed anywhere else. Our family is so blessed that our son attends Dina's a few days per week. The environment that Dina offers is lovely, clean, educational, very well thought out and wonderfully maintained. Her daily communication is thorough and above expectations. She cares deeply for the children in her care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. We are lucky to have her.

Dina has created a beautifully peaceful and meaningful space for the children. My daughter would not have coped well in the typical hectic daycare environment with the revolving door of carers. At Dina's they are able to build connections and they do the most amazing activities. My older children have both commented that they wished they'd been able to come to Dina's. It really is a beautiful service and Dina is an amazing carer who has done a wonderful job nurturing our little ones and creating a little community.

Dina is beautiful and my children adore her and cheer when I tell them it's a "Dina Day". She creates fun experiences for them and they are learning lots from her. She looks for their interests and then creates activities around them to get their full buy in. Eg. My eldest is super hero mad so she has bought a heap of action figures and she hides them all over the place for a treasure hunt. They love it! Due to the size of her group she is able to be really flexible too, so if she has something planned and the kids aren't feeling it she can adjust more easily. In doing this she has been able to get my eldest to participate in art activities that he would normally refuse as there is no pressure. I couldn't recommend Green Kids of Kedron more highly.
