Some Testimonials

“To all staff at Federal Community Children’s Centre, for some time I have been waiting to write to you all to express my sincere gratitude to you all. My son Will has been attending your wonderful school for a while now and he just loves it. He enjoys going to school every day that he attends and he seems to be integrating well with his peer group.

As a parent I am blown away by how professional and caring the preschool is managed by Mandala, Donna and the team. You have created a beautiful nurturing environment for our children and I couldn’t think of a better place for our son to go.

So once again I would like to thank Mandala, Donna, Monique, Mel, Julie, Kylie, Susan, Rose, Tanya and Lorraine. You have all made a wonderful contribution to my sons experience at the centre.”
