MindChamps Early Learning & Preschool @ West Hoxton 3

We started our Mindchamps journey with our first born daughter when she was 6 months old. She is now 4 years old and nearing her completion at Mindchamps. I also have a toddler that is 2 years old attending the centre. I really love this daycare, the educators and especially the centre director Ashleen.  Everyday I am reminded that I have chosen the right daycare because my kids never want to go home. There is so much postive things to write about this centre but I will try keep it to the point. 1. This daycare feels like a big extended family. All the educators make a big effort to know your child and even their family - everyone knew my youngest daughters name before she even started attending the centre.  When she was first born I had a lot of support during drop off and pick up of my eldest child. 2. You know your child is in safe hands. The centre director, Ash and the educators do their best for every child to the best of their ability. Examples include: Ash will check air quality if she has concerns and the children will be kept indoors if unsafe. Recently there was a fire on camden valley road. I knew she would be checking air quality so I felt assured that I could keep working and my kids would be safe.  Also, if the weather is too hot in the afternoon, the kids will be kept indoors for indoor activities. 3. This centre is an open and honest environment.  I know that if I have a question or concern, the educators and Ash will do their best to find an answer or fix it.  Of course not everything can be fixed but in my experience Ash and educators will try their best. They are also open to feedback which in my opinion reflects why this centre is great. They are constantly thriving to improve and feedback is the best way to do that. 4. This is not your typical daycare where the kids just play.  As a parent, I am always curious what my friends kids are doing at their daycare and from the conversations I feel confident I have hit the jackpot with this centre.  My 2 year old in the babies room has learnt her colours, she is counting, she sings the alphabet, she can identify shapes and just the other day at home she was singing a song that my eldest child use to sing which is a song sounding out letters of the alphabet. So my kids are not just learning the alphabet in the babies room they are already learning the sounds that the letters make!! My 4 year old knows all the planets of the solar system and can recite it to me.  These are just a few examples. I can really keep going, but I think I have provided the  important points I think parents look for in a daycare.  I am very sad my first born is graduating from this daycare in a few weeks and moving onto kindergarten but I am so grateful for all the supprt Ash and the educators have provided and I'm confident she is ready for kindergarten as a result of the care and love this centre as provided.
