Testimonials
“We’ve loved being within the arms of your collective care! Reuben is one of your biggest fans (and so are we!)”
“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.”
