Woori Yallock Childcare & Kindergarten
We may have only been at OAC for two weeks but every second has been fantastic!
Our son had a really hard time at his last centre and just was not enjoying it at all, since we have come to OAC he has just gotten better and better! We couldn’t have asked for a better environment and more dedicated team of educators.
Thank you to Jaide, Jessica and Zahra especially, they are amazing educators and have made our family feel so at home. All concerns I’ve raised (ie. his eating habits) have been met with understanding and respect, and they have gone above and beyond to make sure there is always a second option for our son.
I want to thank Kirsten as well. She has been incredible and always so thorough with her handovers which I appreciate so much. We’re just super happy with how positive our son is right now
I’d like to thank Em as well, from the very first time we came through the door, Em was so happy and welcoming! We told her our names once and she hasn’t forgotten since. She always says hello to my son and puts a smile on his face the minute he walks in. And it’s just so reassuring and lovely to know that is so passionate in taking into account not only my sons eating habits, but every child’s! Amazing!
We would also like to thank you Lacy. It has felt like our family was meant to be at OAC. Everyone has been so welcoming and you have been so supportive of what our needs are. So thank you all so much!
My family have been with OAC for a few years now and noticed all the staff turnaround that occurred quite a while ago (we lost some real favorites!) But it's so nice to see that everything has evened out now and you've really made the place such a nice & welcome place to be again :-)
From even the little things like the calm music on entry to staff name tags to getting the kids to sign themselves in. It's all very helpful and lovely.
For me personally, drop off has been really hard for my daughter. I know she's so fine as soon as I go but she puts on quite a show for me when I leave *eye roll haha! The girls at OAC have come to know this and always intervene for me then the follow up messages and pics are always such a nice touch. It's all really appreciated so just in case the team don't hear it enough.... THANK YOU! You are all so appreciated :-)
Our experience with oac woori campus has been absolutely five-star. The entire team provides truly personal care and takes a genuine interest in our son's development and happiness. He attends full-time, and the communication across all the educators and staff is consistently excellent. They work together seamlessly to provide a supportive environment.
Even on especially hard drop-off days, the staff—including the director—are fantastic. They are always ready to offer reassurance and gentle distraction to help ease the transition, which means the world to us as parents. We are also incredibly impressed with the center's chef. The meals provided are not only balanced and healthy, but our son genuinely loves them and eats everything up!
We have always felt comfortable and heard in any discussions we've needed to have with the team. It’s clear that we’re working toward a common goal for our son's well-being. The regular updates we receive are also greatly appreciated and give us peace of mind. The ultimate testament, however, is our son himself; he often mentions his educators and is clearly happy and feels safe there. We couldn't recommend this center more highly.
We feel so lucky to have such amazing educators looking after our girl ❤️
I cannot fault this centre in any way. Absolutely incredible educators, especially Mikaela & Ash in the Toddler room. They are welcoming, nurturing and support our son in so many ways that he now asks when he can go back to daycare, counting down his days until he’s back again. Not to mention the amazing communication from the Centre Director and the warm welcome from the wonderful centre cook Em, who is such a delight to see each time we come through the doors and the food smells absolutely amazing. We are so thankful to have such a beautiful centre so close to home.
Lovely childcare
Great team.
Journey Early Learning Woori Yallock is amazing. My 2 girls love going. The educators are very professional and since all the upgrades to the building, it looks fresh, clean and inviting. Highly recommend.
I have been thoroughly impressed with the care and education my daughter has received at Journey Early Learning Centre at Woori Yallock. Upon starting her care at child care, I did not imagine the opportunities she would have for learning at such a young age. The planned activities, the routines, the communication and the fun that she experiences there are extremely valuable. The educators, staff and management have been so supportive to me and my daughter, making this first year of childcare one of growth for both of us! I would highly recommend this centre. The interior of the building has been newly renovated, including the kitchen. The play spaces, toys, outside area are stimulating and well thought out. This is a high quality centre, with a focus on learning. Thank you to everyone there, especially the educators in the toddlers' room for the care you give my daughter.
All the staff do such an amazing job and make me feel confident in leaving my children in thier care.
