As a family who has no family support locally relationships and care was highest priority to me when looking at daycare for my girls. I trialed a few daycares in the area with Eskay standing head & shoulders above the rest. The genuine care and affection that is experienced by the children from the educators is akin to family; with all educators being present and safe no matter the *big* emotion of the child. You can see the strong relationships between educators and children as soon as you enter the daycare. The second deciding factor for me is the choices made by educators and the facility are back by science. From outdoor play & dirt exposure, to free play and freedom to explore independence and identity, to more structured activities and the food all has evidence to show it is best practice for our children. We couldn’t be happier with our 3+ year experience and would recommend Eskay to everyone. 10/10

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous words. It means the world to us to know that your family has felt truly supported and connected during your time at Springfield. Building strong, genuine relationships is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re so glad that’s been your experience. It’s wonderful to hear that our educators have become like an extension of your family - holding space for big emotions, celebrating independence, and supporting each child’s growth with warmth and care. We’re also incredibly proud to offer an environment that reflects best practice and is grounded in evidence-based approaches. It’s lovely to hear how much you value that too. Thank you again for trusting us with your girls over the past three years. It’s been a privilege to be part of their journey, and your recommendation means more than we can say. The Springfield Team :)

Our experience at Eskay kids has been extremely beneficial to our daughter. We have seen so many positive changes in her as she is guided by caring educators that are so attentive which include activities and programs that she can engage in. Their support is invaluable to us and I highly recommend sending your children to this program, a centre which gives children the freedom to grow and learn through their own inquiry and play based learning. Everyone that works there is always so happy and greets us with warmth. We definitely will be staying with Eskay right through to kindergarten program and can’t wait until our son can also attend. A special mention to one male educator there who has a fantastic rapport with the children and an excellent level of care and understanding for meeting children’s needs.
