You are such a wonderful group at GCP that have made my child’s transition to preschool seamless. How lucky we are to have such support and kindness.

Olivia,

Thank you to the educators of GCP. Both of my children have been so happy to attend this beautiful preschool and that is because of the beautiful educators that you all are. I have been so confident in referring and recommending other families to GCP as I have no doubt that they will love it as much as we have.

Kristian,

DWC has helped us raise our 3 boys, and we have been involved with the centre for the last 10 years.

The care, love, support and sense of community that the centre has given us and our children has nurtured them through their early years.

My children have all loved going to daycare every day to their ‘other family’! I can’t speak more highly of the teaching staff at the centre, and would highly recommend to anyone’

Jasmine

GCP has provided my daughter with a beautiful start to her learning journey.

The approachable teacher has given her the best care and abundance of opportunity to learn not just textbook stuff but life long lessons of friendship, care and creative thinking.

I am so thankful of all the teachers and management for the work they do

Manjot

The team at GCP are so happy to share their workspace with us, it allows us to know what she is learning about, this assists us with what books to borrow at the town library and conversations at home and around the dinner table.

We appreciate how amazing you all are at drop off and pick up. Always happy and inviting which helped our daughter so much for the first 3-6 months. 

We can not believe how quickly she has grown up and continues to develop through your learning environment. You are all household names, your impact is unmeasurable. 

Lachlan,

We’re so grateful for all you do to help little minds grow at GCP

Jessica,

Having my child at Griffith Central Preschool has been such a wonderful experience for our family. She absolutely loves her educators and the beautiful relationships she’s formed with everyone there. It makes us so happy to see how supported and cared for she feels each day.

We also really appreciate how you all take the time to listen to us, consider our concerns, and work together with us—it means so much. 

Thank you for all the love, patience, and encouragement you’ve given her. We’re so grateful for the way you’ve helped her grow and thrive.

Anna,

My son and our family is just new and recently started at Central Pre-school and we are so very pleased and happy since day one he had attended.

He has so much confidence and is always looking forward to being at school.

Thanks for your very energetic, confident, accommodating, friendly and always smiling staff.

The ambience and atmosphere are very lively and welcoming for the kids which my husband and I love the most.

Honestly, I never had a second thought the first time a left my son with your very caring staff. I have peace of mind knowing he is well taken care of.

Keep up the excellent service and more power to your team’.

Cecillia &Luther

We entrusted our twin girls into the Dorothy Waide family when they were 16 months old and were so impressed with how easily the girls adapted and instantly loved attending the centre.

It was me who would be a crying wreck at drop off, the girls were more than happy to go off with the educators and find wonderful spots to play & other little people to interact with. We feel that the girls have grown so much since being at the centre in terms of the way they interact with others & the way they see the world around them.

All the educators we have come across, have been incredible and we have always found everyone to be open & honest with us at all times.

We now look forward to continuing our journey with the Dorothy Waide Centre as the girls embark on their preschool learning experience at Griffith Central Preschool’ .
