The educators are so patient, caring, and really take the time to get to know each child. They put a lot of effort into planning different activities each day and even use recycled materials, which I love. Each child has their own development plan, and there’s also a thoughtful weekly program that keeps things fun and engaging.

After moving to the southern suburbs we had not considered changing daycare, even with a brand new centre being built within minutes from home. That changed once we learned about the staffing. Having previously been enrolled at a daycare lead by Helen, we knew we had to at least tour the centre. Straight after the tour we enrolled our child - we were impressed with what we saw and confident our child would be in excellent hands at Edge. In the last 6 months our child has been supported during the transition to the new centre - all of the beautiful staff have spent time and care to help build meaningful relationships with our child and encourage the formation of bonds with new peers. The age of a centre is not a determining factor for our family, however Edge being a brand-new centre with an abundance of resources and beautiful spaces is just the cherry on the pie for us. We can say without a doubt that we highly reccomend Edge Kanimbla.
