at Community Kids Springvale South the same year. Having been in our wonderful centre for over 20 years, I am proud to say that our centre has no staff turnover. We have great relationships with each other, all sharing the common goal of giving children the best opportunities to learn and grow. I continually learn and enjoy mentoring the team to make our service known as one of the best within the community. <\/p> <p>While in our care, children learn many things, such as building relationships and communication skills, discussing feelings and appropriate actions, respecting others, and understanding and contributing to our community. It is important for children to socialise and form relationships with peers and adults outside their family circle. Our multicultural team is dedicated and passionate about their work. We feel very fortunate to work with children and strive to create an environment where they feel comfortable and can express their feelings at all times. <\/p> <p>We have built a strong reputation by fostering strong relationships with families. Throughout the year, we host morning teas to give families the opportunity to meet each other. We also provide snacks in the mornings and special treats in the afternoons. When children participate in cooking experiences during the day, we share these with families in the afternoon. I help families and children through orientation by being flexible and listening to their needs.

It&#039;s a vibe.\n&#8211; They are keen to understand your schedule and routine at home so they can try and replicate it at the centre (eg, our little one has started going to the toilet and the educators have been great at making sure they keep the consistency going but also respect our child&#039;s wishes)\n&#8211; Nutritious food prepared in-house.\n&#8211; The centre director or someone else in her absence always answers the phone and responds to emails promptly.\n&#8211; If you have any concerns, they act on it quickly.\n&#8211; They use Xplore and send updates of your child through the day\n&#8211; Shoutout to Mai who went the extra mile to fix and sew our little girl&#039;s special bunny that she is so attached to! Looks as good as new!\n\nAt this point, we are very happy with everything.

As a first time mum it was daunting leaving her when I went back to work but I had nothing to worry about\n\nThe staff here are amazing. They are familiar, friendly, caring &amp; welcoming and have received excellent training in educating children. They have all the kids best interests at heart.\n\nThere is no turnover of staff. My daughter has had the same educators since she started. They are familiar to her as she has gotten to know them over time and feels comfortable with them. They are all exceptional at what they do.\n\nThe management is equally great, Christine has ran the centre for close to 25 years and the centre\u2019s success is a testament to the hard work that she and the staff have put in over time. Vania as deputy manager is also extremely helpful and friendly and always available if you have any questions.\n\nWhat I love about the centre is that even the management are actively involved in caring for the children.\n\nEach day my daughter goes in, she is greeted by staff that are smiling and happy at their work and happy to see her\n\nShe is very well looked after and she has developed so many new skills in the 5 short months that she has been there\n\nI would recommend Community Kids to anyone in the area that is looking for a safe, friendly, caring and educational centre to send their kids to.                                            <\/span>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide swiper-slide\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__content-container\">\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__header\">\n                                        <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__meta\">\n                                            <h3 class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__author\">\n                                                Nitin Gupta                                            <\/h3>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__rating\">\n                                        \n            <div class=\"stars-container g8-google-reviews__stars-container\">\n                <div class=\"stars empty\">\n                    <div class=\"stars full\"><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><\/div>\n                    <i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__text\">\n                                                                                    <span class=\"short-text\">\n                                                &quot;Home away from home for my kiddo&quot;.\n\nLike all other kids we went shopping for day cares for our kids (my son and my niece).

We shortlisted a couple based on many factors &#8211; (space for kids, programs,interaction with the teachers, food preferences, day care policies, etc etc).\n\nOthers that made to the list included a newly opened day care with shiny furniture, a day care with homely feel and a day care with our community.  We are glad, we chose Community kids over others.\n\nWhy we like it so much:\n1. My kiddo (now 3 years) loves most of the teachers in school.\n\n2. Community kids find innovative ways to keep him engaged like to making space rocket using water bottle, baking cookies, farm animals visit, baking banana bread, yoga sessions, story book time, gardening, road sense and lots more.\n\n3. Therez not even a single week when my kiddo hasnt dont a unique activity and all this in toddlers room.\n\n4. They pay special attention to the food preferences.

They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made my daughter (and me) feel safe and loved from day one.\n\nCommunication with the staff has been outstanding. I always feel informed about my daughter&#039;s day, from her activities to her meals and naps. It&#039;s reassuring to know that she is in such capable hands.\n\nBeyond the educational aspect, the love and care shown by the staff are truly heartwarming. They celebrate every milestone and comfort every &quot;tear&quot;. It&#039;s evident that they have formed a bond with my daughter, which goes beyond simply looking after her.\n\nI wholeheartedly recommend Community Kids Springvale South to any parent looking for a place where their child can thrive, learn, and be loved.\nThank you to the entire team for making a positive difference in mine and my daughter&#039;s life.

These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.\"}}]}<\/script>    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-image-content_24_66a9b4b011657\" class=\"g8-image-content g8-block-container  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-image-content__container full no-image\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--image\">\n                                                                                                                    <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-star-heart pattern-one\"><\/i>\n                                                                                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-sun-pen pattern-two\"><\/i>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--content\">\n                                                                                        <h2 class=\"g8-image-content__title g8-block-subtitle\">Contact us<\/h2>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__content g8-block-wysiwyg\"><p style=\"text-align: center\">We look forward to welcoming your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n                                                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__buttons-group\">\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"\/book-a-tour?centre=community-kids-springvale-south-early-education-centre\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Book a tour\"><span>Book a tour<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <a href=\"\/enquire-now?centre=community-kids-springvale-south-early-education-centre\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Enquire now\"><span>Enquire now<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1611,"parent":99,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-499","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Community Kids Springvale South | Childcare &amp; Kindergarten<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get the best start to early learning with our child care and kindergarten programs at Community Kids Springvale South.
