Our experience with this childcare center has been highly disappointing. The teachers are unqualified, lacking both the necessary experience and training, which raises serious concerns about the quality of care provided. The owner’s interactions with the children have been troubling; she seems to handle them poorly, leaving many children visibly uncomfortable and frightened. Additionally, she has not been transparent or forthcoming with us as parents. The food provided to the children is of very low quality, with little to no variety, which is not conducive to a healthy diet. During the few months my daughter attended, she suffered from severe nappy rash, which even led to bleeding. Upon closer observation, I discovered that her diaper was not being changed throughout the day; I had marked it in a particular way and found it unchanged from the morning. Another concerning aspect is the restricted access for parents. We are only allowed to pick up and drop off our children from a small area by the front door, under the pretense that seeing parents might upset other children. This reasoning is flawed, as happy, well-engaged children would not react so strongly. On one occasion, I arrived to find my daughter watching TV and eating chocolate, an inappropriate activity for such a setting. It is unfortunate that our child had to endure such a negative experience, and I sincerely regret having placed her there. Read more

He is a very kind kid he gets scared and sad when strict and firm voice is used on him. At previous center he would always say he doesnt want to go to school. After many research i came across this centre. The owner and the stafd members were soo welcoming and flexible with my criteria. Now its been a year yet my son gets excited and look forward to go school everyday due to the ambiance and the environment created by all the teachers. His class room teacher Miss Anna And Miss Marwa has also put so much effort for his school readiness which got him in the private school on what we were aiming for. Read more
