This parent told Paula that there was a crying child by himself around the corner, and Paula shrugged her shoulders, with no care in the world. I believe Paula was extremely neglectful towards my child, constantly leaving him in dirty nappies to the point of severe nappy rash. My child was the only one who didn’t have a designated pocket with his name on it, at the door. I never received any artwork or memorabilia for his time at the centre, Paula claimed that my son ‘refused’ to partake in any of the activities. I find this very hard to believe, I believe he was intentionally excluded from activities. As an educator you should encourage the children to partake in activities, or do activities based on their individual interests. My son is extremely outgoing, loves painting, water play, trucks, sand, leaves, nature. All the fun stuff . But he was rarely photographed during the day and when I would ask how his day was, at pick up, id get the same robotic response - “good.” It wasn’t just my child though, I came early one day and witnessed an educator screaming in a kindy boy’s face, the poor little guy looked absolutely terrified, and it broke my heart to see. I always warn people about this centre, it was absolutely traumatising. I truly worry for the children that attend currently and hope they are all okay. If you’re considering sending your children here, please, look elsewhere. Read more
