Here’s what our Woori Yallock families have to say
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!
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 :-)
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.
