Explorers Eary Learning Dandenong - is a fantastic place. We started attending the centre in February and it was not an easy process for our boy and us as parents due to a separation anxiety and seeing as our boy is crying in the mornings and afternoons was so hard and was breaking our hearts. The whole staff, including management and educators is amazing to deal with. Everyone genuinely cares about children, always greet everyone with a smile and happy not only chat, but also help with any questions, or help to address any concerns as the parents may have. We are confident that if we ask for something that this will be done in the best possible way.
After quite a short time, our boy started to feel comfortable and is well aware that Explorers Early Learning Dandenong is his safe place, he spends his time there with joy, and we can see that he loves his educators, happy to play with other children, eats and sleeps well - and this is only what we can ask for while we are at work.
It is such a relief knowing that our little boy is being taken care of and does not have any reasons to be worried.
Thank you very much to the whole Explorers Early Learning Dandenong - you are an amazing bunch of people who are creating the wonderful environment for the most precious gifts that parents can have - their babies.
