He started at Penguin Parkville Childcare on the 25th of March, 2024, initially attending 2–3 half days a week before gradually transitioning to full days Monday to Friday. When Luka first began in the Toddler 1 room, drop-offs were very challenging he was often upset and unsettled. Luka has since been diagnosed with Level 3 Autism and is currently non-verbal. Despite having limited staff and resources, the educators and carers at Penguin Parkville have shown incredible compassion, patience, and dedication. They have truly gone above and beyond to understand and support Luka’s individual needs. The team has worked closely with his occupational and speech therapists to learn strategies that help manage his behaviours and maintain consistency between home and childcare. They even took the initiative to apply for KISP funding to ensure Luka could receive additional one-on-one support on certain days. I’m always kept updated if Luka becomes distressed, and they make sure I’m part of the process every step of the way. Since starting at Penguin Parkville, we’ve seen wonderful improvements in Luka’s social engagement and his ability to connect with others. He also attends Autism Partnership therapy sessions on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, and I’m so grateful that the childcare team collaborates so well with his therapists it truly feels like a united circle of support around him. I cannot thank the team enough for their love, understanding, and unwavering support. They really are a group of earth angels. For any parent of a neurodiverse child considering a mainstream childcare setting, I wholeheartedly recommend Penguin Parkville. The care, acceptance, and genuine commitment of this team have made all the difference for Luka and our family.

Both my sons have attended Penguin Childcare in Ravenhall since they were 6 months old, my eldest is now in grade 1 at school, and my youngest is now in the Kinder room. I highly recommend this centre - the educators have become like family and the centre is the boys second home. If you are looking for educators that truly care about your child, this is the best centre by far! My boys have the fondest memories growing up here, and my eldest still loves to come visit and see his favourite educators. We are super grateful for the time and effort that has been put into the care and education of our boys. The ongoing support from the team is amazing, and we are always greeted with lots of smiles, every day! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My daughter has been with Penguin in Ravenhall since she was 10 months old and her transition from nursery to toddler 1 and 2, and now into the kindy room, has always been a smooth change. Now that she can communicate well and express herself, I always make sure to ask how about her day to day experience and it's always an extremely happy response. The activities for her are engaging, the educators do such a fantastic job providing a wide variety, they will pay close attention to her needs and where she needs more support in, and I am always informed or updated with her progress when it comes to learning and her engagement with peers. I have been very happy with the centre through the years.
