GOODSTART EARLY LEARNING PORT MACQUARIE REVIEWS

G oodstart in Port Macquarie is not only one of the best centres ive seen but also have some of the best teachers. They are focused on nurturing the children and always acknowledge each child as their own person. They make my son feel like he belongs and this follows through to our family, i think this is probably the best thing about this centre. The communication, support and care they give is of high standards. I highly recommend them.

Both of my children love attending Goodstart port macquarie. The educators are engaged and passionate about providing development opportunities for the children. It is also obvious how they have a genuine affection for the children in their care. A brilliant centre, highly recommended.

All staff are friendly and helpful. They all know which child belongs to which parent. I have full time care of my grandson and his mother came with me to pick him up the other day. The staff never saw me but seen her taking him they acted on it immediately . Thank you so much for everything you do for me and my grandson. A big shout out to Taylor for acting so fast.

ST JOSEPH’S PRESCHOOL & LONG DAY CARE CENTRE REVIEWS

A huge thank you to the beautiful staff at St Joseph’s Preschool and Long Daycare. The amazing Orange Rm educators decided to make a pair of glasses for everyone in my sons class, as he’s getting his first real pair later this week. Thank you for making this journey so thoughtfully special for us. We are so grateful! We couldn’t recommend SJPLC more highly.

They are a very experienced qualified accommodating team that are committed to providing qualitative services.

Both my children enjoyed their experience at St Joseph's Preschool. The staff are wonderful with the kids and the service was outstanding. Everything is emaculate and clean. The resources are great. Both our children were prepared well for starting school and the pre-school were wonderful with the transition. I would recommend them to anyone.

It’s great to see how supportive and encouraging the Educators are with all the children within the centre. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a professional and loving centre for your kids.

Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindsets. It’s wonderful seeing the children get excited about going to school here. The educators really make an effort to engage with the children and develop their skills in a very individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. Highly recommend them.

Absolutely amazing centre with such lovely staff working there and an extremely welcoming atmosphere.
