I have been teaching weekly yoga and mindfulness classes at E&D Brookvale since May 2024, and it has been such a pleasure to guide the preschoolers and toddlers through playful, mindful and engaging sessions each week. From the initial session they were immediately engaged, and as the weeks progressed, the children really embraced each session with such enthusiasm and curiosity. Every week, I am greeted so warmly by the children, receiving big hugs from them as soon as I arrive. It has been a highlight of my week to guide the children to experience the benefits and magic of yoga. They have loved learning and practising the yoga poses, breathing exercises, mindful activities, partner poses, games and relaxation techniques. It warms my heart when the children tell me they have been practising at home or when I receive parent feedback from the educators. Not only have the children developed on a physical level, but also their focus, memory, body awareness, self-confidence and emotional regulation. Witnessing them chant a mantra meditation together for 3minutes+ is one of the most mesmerising parts of the session. The educators in the rooms are exceptional, so welcoming, kind, caring and attentive and are always keen to join in on the sessions too. The preschool room have been implementing some of the breathing exercises and mindful techniques into their daily routine off the mat, including affirmations, breathing exercises and meditations - a beautiful testament to the educators' commitment to the holistic wellbeing of the children as they prepare for school. It is a truly beautiful centre that has such a wholesome, cosy vibe with engaging learning environments. I highly recommend this centre for any families looking for a safe, nurturing and holistic environment for their children. A centre where the children’s wellbeing (rather than numbers) is priority number one! You won’t regret it! Tegan and Charlene have been so supportive and I am so grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to be part of the children’s early learning years and giving them the gift of yoga. Thank you E&D Brookvale. I look forward to more magical sessions in 2025.

If I could give more than five stars, I would. This day care has gone to every length to provide my children with the best possible care. My wife and I feel like we have gained an extended family at this place. After a couple of bad experiences at other day cares, we were very apprehensive to start a new one. It was by far the best decision we ever made. Our only regret being we wish we would have known about this place before. Nothing is too much effort, every time we talk they listen and act, with purpose. They have made us feel like we can come to them with anything. Everything about this place has been thought of and our experience is one of huge appreciation, happiness, adoration and gratefulness. I highly recommend this day care to any parent wanting their child to be in a safe, nurturing, caring and developing environment. Thanks not only to the people running the day care behind the scenes, but all of the incredible and hard working carers, you do such an amazing job!
