I am very disappointed with our recent experience at rise and shine Sylvania. We were upfront from the beginning about my son’s Autism diagnosis and were booked in for an orientation, expecting understanding and inclusion. Unfortunately, instead of supporting his needs as promised, the centre decided not to accept him purely because of his disability. This has not only caused stress for our family but goes against the values of inclusion and equal opportunity that every childcare service should stand for. I hope the centre reflects on how they treat children with additional needs and their families in the future . Read more

We had a very bad experience with the first childcare we chose, and we were incredibly lucky to find a spot at Rise and Shine Sylvania, which has even won the "Exceeding National Standards" award—it must be good! After attending, my husband and I quickly realized that what truly makes this center special is the people and a director who genuinely cares. The attention to detail and the willingness to accommodate parents’ culture-oriented requests (like using chopsticks in Asian culture) amaze me every time! The educators even use chopsticks to feed my daughter so that she will open her mouth—such a thoughtful effort that shows how much they care. I definitely feel that my daughter is loved by all the educators. The center keeps me well-informed about every aspect of my daughter’s day—whether she ate, drank milk, or even accidentally bumped herself. Every step of the way, I’ve felt reassured. After just three months (attending two days a week), my daughter settled in so well that she now wants to go to childcare because of her favorite aunties! I also feel there is always an open-door policy where I can easily ask questions or address any concerns. The willingness of the center to cater to each child’s unique behavior is over the moon! For Christmas, the educators at Nursery 1 even made cute Christmas gifts for my daughter and let us take home all the "artwork" she had done throughout the year. Although transitioning to a different room can be challenging due to new educators, the center made the process incredibly smooth. They also took my feedback into account to ensure a consistent level of care as she moved from Nursery 1. I love the structured team leader approach in each room, having a direct number to call, and the updates with photos—it truly puts my mind at ease as a first-time mum. There’s also a monthly calendar of activities organized by the center, which makes it fun for both the children and the parents. I couldn't recommend this center more! Read more
