Poets Grove Family & Children's Centre

It has been many years since I have had contact with this centre as my children are now just in secondary school. I am hoping the culture and the tone of this centre has improved from 10 to 15 years ago. I am writing a review now as feel safer to do so and am prompted by others living in Elwood and a review that has already been submitted. I hear the Manager has since changed , which is for the better. Essentially, the elitism was astounding and considering this is a domain in life, meaning the care of small children, one would assume there would be a culture based on social justice and socioeconomic status would not matter regarding inclusion. Of course, this culture would suit some people reading this review unfortunately. I had appalling communications with this centre which impacted my family and ability to work. Overall, there are waiting lists, rules and inclusion criteria for those in need. Single parents, children in foster situations, families that need to work and do not have any extended family support should not be excluded, and this absolutely was my observation. Although, I am privileged to own property in Elwood (for the past 20 years) with have a dual income , I and my children were impacted by our experience. I am happy to speak with the manager to provide further details
