Families and Community
Parents are children’s first teachers; thus, we believe that collaborating with families allow us to make well-informed curriculum decisions that ensure children’s meaningful learning experiences. We believe in building and maintaining meaningful relationships with families and our community. We respect and understand that families of different cultures and backgrounds may value different things when it comes to their children’s education and development. We welcome and value their contribution into our curriculum and day-to-day routines, so our program consists of families’ suggestions and regular feedback. Educators strive to work in close partnerships with families to provide high quality care and education for children within a warm, welcoming, and safe environment that feels like their second home.
Testimonials
Hello Gunvir,
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team at 1st Impression Child Care, especially Ayaan’s teachers.
We recently moved to Australia, and enrolling Ayaan in this childcare centre was the best decision we made. When Ayaan first joined, he faced numerous challenges adapting to the new environment, including cultural differences, language barrier, and educational system. However, thanks to the unwavering dedication and support provided by the educators, Ayaan was able to settle in smoothly and flourish in his new surroundings. As parents, we deeply appreciate the open and transparent communication maintained by the centre. Educators regularly kept us informed about Ayaan’s progress, highlighting his achievements and areas of improvement. Their feedback and guidance have been invaluable in our efforts to support Ayaan’s development at home. The entire staff at 1st Impression Child Care has been warm, friendly, and professional. The centre’s facilities are well-maintained, clean, and safe, providing a secure environment for our child’s growth.
Thank you once again to 1st Impression Child Care for their outstanding service.
Hello, happy to share our experience.
We are an overseas family who came 5 years ago to Australia, with a lot of dreams and expectations, while we were studying and working Martin was born and made our lives busier but happier at the same time. Being a migrant with no benefits from Medicare, paying our studying fees, being parents, and working at the same time is not an easy job, however, we are always happy to do the best for our son.
We enrolled our son in First Impressions for only some casual days in the beginning because Martin was assisting at another Childcare closer to our job sites and home, but eventually, we realized that Martin was feeling more confident and happier in first impressions rather than the other childcare, and soon we noted why. The staff who was with him was very caring and kind and he could feel this warm sensation. We also noted his progress, so even if it is farther from our place and work, we prefer to put him full-time in First Impressions because he is happier and progressing very well.
As an overseas family, we really appreciate the support we get from the institution and the really good care they give to our child.
Keep doing this amazing job…
Dear 1st Impressions ELC,
During the tour of the centre, I felt very welcomed and knew that my daughter would be safe and happy in their care.
Overall, the orientation went well and the environment is completely welcoming and I would highly recommend for other families seeking childcare.
The staff are very flexible if you need to change a day, though a bit of notice would be recommended. In saying that the staff provide excellent supportive service.
My experience with the time duration Winter has been in the care of the centre has just been wonderful. The staff are very friendly and family orientated.
My daughter has come a long way since she started at the centre, she is very hands on and loves to play with all her friends.
They also have many activities in which she is now participating in from the feedback I get and I couldn’t be happier.
Kind regards
I was guided well for the tour and I was so happy and impressed by the way all the educators and children are together and sharing the bond. I felt that finally I am at the right place for my son. The environment is welcoming and friendly all the educators and all the staff were smiling and happy to answer my questions. Kiaan is developed very well since he has started coming to 1st impression. He is learning new things and very active as well. I share a very happy and healthy bond with all the staff and educators in 1st impression. They all are best of best. They have supported me every time whenever I need help. Whether it was related to CCS or related to kiaan’s development. So many times, I was concerned about his speaking but every time everyone listen to me and try to help me. When Kiaan is coming in the morning, he got that morning hug from everyone I am happy and I feel that he is in the safe hands. Thank you all for being a part of his upbringing.
Sure we’d be happy to provide some feedback. Feel free to use any or all of it. Our son Cooper has been at 1st impressions ELC for over 3 years. He has consistently been well ahead of developmental milestones and we believe 1st impressions has played a significant part with that. His current class also includes many different activities to stimulate the children including violin, piano, reading and writing lessons. Another thing we love about 1st impressions are the extra little boutique touches that the larger chains aren’t able to provide. Management has always been very responsive whenever we have had concerns which has developed a strong trusting relationship throughout the years. Regards,
We are absolutely delighted with our decision to enrol our daughter, Olivia, at 1st Impressions Early Learning Centre (ELC) when she turned three years old. It has proven to be the best ELC experience we could have hoped for. The entire family is incredibly pleased with the exceptional quality of care and education provided by this remarkable institution. One of the aspects that has truly impressed us is the outstanding attention given to Olivia’s nutrition. The centre ensures that she is well-fed throughout the day, offering a balanced menu that includes breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. The caregivers are not only friendly but also genuinely care for each child, taking a keen interest in their individual needs and preferences. We always receive prompt and informative feedback at the end of each day, which reassures us as parents. Olivia has thrived in this nurturing environment and has developed strong bonds with her peers, making many good friends. She eagerly looks forward to attending her “little school” every day, which speaks volumes about the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. As parents, we have been amazed by the educational program provided by the ELC, particularly during Olivia’s time in the pre-reception class. The variety of activities she has been exposed to, such as intensive reading classes, one-on-one piano lessons, art classes, and dancing classes, has broadened her horizons and enriched her learning journey. We feel truly blessed that Olivia has had the opportunity to grow and develop in this exceptional ELC, which has fully equipped her for the challenges of her upcoming reception class.
Overall, we cannot speak highly enough of 1st Impressions ELC. It has exceeded our expectations in every way, offering a nurturing environment, excellent care, and a comprehensive educational program. We are grateful to have made such a wonderful choice for Olivia’s early learning journey. We wholeheartedly recommend 1st Impressions Early Learning Centre (ELC) to any parents seeking an exceptional early childhood education for their child. Our experience with this ELC has been nothing short of remarkable, and we believe it is an outstanding choice for any family.
