Little Village Early Learning Buderim
Over the past year, we have seen the centres education team stablished through permanent staff appointments and studio allocations. Furthermore, we have seen an improvement in communications on safety, quality and general updates across the facility, and a strong feeling of inclusiveness and trust built through family and centre staff partnerships, as well as community.
From quality management, a focus on occupational health and safety, catering, considered education and up to date furnishing and learning tools, we feel confident and assured as parents that our child is safe, well looked after, is genuinely having fun and is continuously learning when they attend OAC.
We have seen a remarkable and positive shift in the learning and education program deployed within the last six months. We have seen our child go from strength to strength developmentally and become a strong and resilient child. Our child enjoys the incursion and themed week opportunities. This is a credit to Emma, Rebecca and the OAC team.
