We have been with Great Beginnings Reservoir since 2021 and couldn't be happier with the care and support our children have received. We have three daughters at the centre – our youngest is in the nursery room, our middle child is in 3-year-old kinder, and our oldest is in 4-year-old kinder. All of them have thrived at Great Beginnings, and we’ve seen incredible growth and development in each of them. Our 5-year-old is finishing up at the end of this year, and it’s bittersweet for us. She started in the toddler room in 2021 and has flourished under the care of the wonderful educators there. She has built strong, trusting relationships with her teachers, especially her kinder teacher, Lina, who has been an incredible influence in her development. It’s so hard for her to say goodbye, but we’re so grateful for the foundation GB has provided her as she prepares to start school. Both of our younger daughters, who started at GB at just 4 months old, are also thriving through their developmental stages. From the nurturing nursery room to the educational support in the kinder programs, we’ve been consistently impressed by the care and attention they receive. The educators at Great Beginnings are truly exceptional. They are kind, knowledgeable, and always go above and beyond to ensure the children are supported and loved. We are beyond happy with the centre and couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our kids to grow and learn. Thank you, Great Beginnings Reservoir, for everything you do for our family!
